Top Ten Tuesday: Book Crushes

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Book Crushes, my favorite subject. This was a no-brainer. Here is my top guys that make me wish I was fictional. Each of them shares a very important quality I look for in a man.

Athletic: Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy. Imagine learning how to fight from a pro.

Respectful: Daniel Bianchi from The Gathering: He is the kind of friend you want to have by your side.

Funny: Fred and George Weasley from the Harry Potter series: A sense of humor in a man is always an important asset.  

Leader: Elder from Across the Universe. As the series progresses, so does his ability to lead a whole spaceship filled with people. Remarkable.

Protective: Four from Divergent.  What I like about him is that he is ready to help Tris but at the same time he doesn't try to control her. 

 Assertive: Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments series. He is not afraid to speak his mind and stand up for himself.

Reliable: Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games. The way he is always there for Katniss makes me swoon. He has principles. 

Caught my Arrow # 11

Caught my Arrow is a meme similar to In my mailbox and  Stalking the Shelves featuring books that were purchased, borrowed or received that week.

Had a crazy week, filled with egg hunts, painting, and baking. Oh, yeah!! Sadly, I didn't get to purchase any books. But I did receive a surprise in the mail.

I received for review a copy of Altered by Shawnda Currie.

And borrowed Demonglass from the library.

Review: The Friday Society

Charlie's Angels meet steampunk -- at least it tries. The one thing I love about Charlie's Angels is the bond the girls share but in this book, Michiko, who didn't speak English was left out which was odd because if anyone really had a reason to go after the bad guy it was her.

Adrienne Kress

The action scenes were suspenseful for a reader needing an adrenaline rush. And the chapters cleverly marked as 9 1/2 or 9 3/4. Adrienne Kress appears to be a very sophisticated writer in this picture and her magic rubs off on the trio of girls. I enjoyed reading about their gowns and fashion taste. But unfortunately the romance lacked depth with several gratuitous kisses that turned this BookCupid off.

Will there be a sequel? The ending seems to hint at it.

Q: Tell us about the most emotional scene you've ever read in a book -- and how did you react?


The book is called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. And there is a scene where Susie Salmon (a ghost) holds her father's hand in the hospital and her brother holds the other while the father lingers between life and dead. Both children want to claim the father on their side. Please Live -- Please Die --

I was crying the whole time!!! Which is strange for me since I usually laugh whenever I encounter something emotionally uncomfortable.
