Top Ten Tuesday Rewind - Top Ten Fictional Crushes

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, a state that you don't have to worry about being deprived of more books as long as you're near a library. ;) This week's Top Ten is:


Top Ten Rewind - Top Ten Fictional Crushes

1. Sam from Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater - Sensitive, sweet, although sometimes furry, this wolfish poet is quite a catch.


2. Bigby Wolf from Fables by Bill Willingham - I think of Bigby as a different form of Wolverine while also being a bit more sensitive.

3. Valek from Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder - He's a spy and a warrior, how much more awesome can you get?  Oh, he also carves beautiful statues. :)

4. Tolmac from The Princess's Dragon by Susan Trombley - If you ever needed someone to depend on, you know you could depend on Tolmac.


5. Gabriel from Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Clause - Tough guy with a sensitive side, he made me swoon.


6. George from The Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce - Move over Robin Hood, here's the real king of thieves.


7. Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens - He was my classic literature hero, and you cannot help crushing on a man who is able to redeem himself.

8. Cyrano from Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmund Rostand - Romantic, eloquent with a unique profile.  Once you get past the nose, he's quite the man. 

9. Joaquim from The Nymph King by Gena Showalter - I think it was his tough-guy attitude that got to me.

10. Janco from Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder - Janco is a guy that could always make you laugh, and I adore guys with a sense of humor.  Plus, you could always spar with him if you're miffed.

  1. I looooved Rafe from Blood and Chocolate, even if he was a jerk no matter which way you looked at him. Good list!

  9. I like Sam too - such an all round lovely guy and very nice to see that in YA where the trend seems to run to a lot of mysterious and arrogant male love interests!

  11. lol My first book crush ever was F'lar from Dragonflight... he's so intelligent and in charge, and, even though I can't actually see them, he has the most beautiful amber eyes. ;b

  12. I love your number 6! Did you know that in her first draft of the books that Tamora Pierce had Alanna marrying Jonathan? I would have not liked those books half as much if that was the ending as I love George!
