Our last Literary Crush was Chase from Some of the Parts by Hannah Barnaby, and today we bring you Jefferson from The Gold Seer Trilogy: Walk on Earth a Stranger and Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson. Yes, I’m waiting anxiously for the third and final book in The Gold Seer trilogy, Into the…
Literary Crush: Prince Brigan from Fire by Kristin Cashore
Fire and Brigan by meabhdeloughry on DeviantArt Name: Prince Brigan of the Dells Age: 22 What does he look like? Tall, dark, and brooding. He has a stern face, gray eyes, and eyebrows described as “unfriendly.” Battle scarred and clean-shaven (except when he’s been out fighting monsters for too long).He’s not given a lot of physical description,…
Literary Crush: Josh Bennett from The Sea of Tranquility
It has been a couple of months since our last Literary Crush (Darrow — swoon!), and since I realized I never wrote one about Josh Bennett, here he is for everyone to admire. I recently re-read “The Sea of Tranquility” on audiobook (such good performances!), and I replayed my favorite scenes over and over again….
Literary Crush: Darrow from Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown
Literary Crush: Darrow from Red Rising and Golden Son by Pierce Brown I kept seeing rave reviews for these books on my Goodreads page and finally decided to read them over winter break. Reading is not actually what happened – I lived breathed and devoured them both. The story itself is fantastic, you owe it…
Literary Crush: Matt Finch from Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
Since Sandie took the trouble to send me her copy of “Open Road Summer,” I figured it was definitely worth reading right away. It turned out to be a cute, fun, and surprisingly substantial read about friendship, fame, and love. Yes, in some ways it was predictable (it was obvious the first time we meet…
Literary Crush: Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Fan art courtesy of Galidor-Dragon from deviantARTOne of Sandie and my favorite “sister moments” occurred about two years ago when without ever mentioning it to each other, we both decided to read “Daughter of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor. Not only did we read the book at the same time, we actually both finished…
Literary Crush: Levi from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Fan Art courtesy of the incomparable Simini Blocker Sandie and I love reading a book and realizing both of us have developed a literary crush on the same character. It seems like proof of our sisterly bond that despite being 12 years apart, we have similar tastes in our fictional boyfriends. We’ve had hour-long conversations…
Literary Crush: Etienne St. Clair from “Anna and the French Kiss” by Stephanie Perkins
It’s no secret that we are Stephanie Perkins fans and we love her books. We have also swooned over her male protagonists and we were in shock when we realized that although we had written about our love for Cricket, we had somehow never posted about our equal love of Etienne St. Clair. Of course, one…
Literary Crush: Po from “Graceling” by Kristen Cashore
I’m sitting in a movie theater waiting for my friend who is late. After checking my watch and phone a dozen time she runs in with a book under her arm squealing about this prince named Po and how’s he’s absolutely perfect. We were seeing “Inkhart” and I was preparing to swoon over Dustfinger, so…
Literary Crush: Sean Kendrick from ‘The Scorpio Races’ by Maggie Stiefvater
We’ve been swooning in private apparently (if Twitter, Facebook, and text messaging can be considered “private”), because it has been ages since we shared a Literary Crush, and the fictional boyfriend list is getting embarrassingly long. I was all set to pay tribute to Four from “Divergent” and “Insurgent,” but after meeting Maggie Stiefvater at…
