Top 5 Wednesday: Nostalgic Love Interests

Top 5 Nostalgic Book Boyfriends
1.     Jace from The Mortal Instruments by Casandra Clare.  I was totally team Clace when I first got a hold of The Mortal Instruments and I thought Jace was so sexy, but as I have gotten older I have realized Jace has a lot of character flaws I couldn’t deal with.  Simon Lewis is more my type, but I loved the broody guy, still do.  I think, because I have always been a sucker for stories where a girl has influenced a bad boy to change.
2.     I was so team Edward Cullen over Jacob, who in my mind was too immature.  I was like a lot of young readers and went through the Vampire phase.  Again, as I got older I realized Edward isn’t that great, and actually Jake isn’t either.  Both are controlling and possessive of Bella, of course Bella isn’t that great of a heroine either.
3.     Harry Potter from Harry Potter.  When I first read this series, I had a crush on Harry, but it was probably partly, because he was the main character.  I felt so bad for him, though I still do, but I have come to realize I like Ron more.    In all honesty, I think part of the reason I declare my “love” for Harry, is because I felt obligated too.  He was the main character and my age.
4.     When I was sixteen and read Jane Eyre, I fell for Rochester, and he’s still on my list.  Though, I have to come to discover his choicest in the story bring the character down on my list, but I still hold him in my heart.

5.     I wish I could include characters like Ned Nickerson, I think that’s his name, from Nancy Drew, or one of the male characters from other childhood chapter books I might have read, but I can’t remember, so this last crush is going to be from a movie.  Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas.  The character doesn’t even have any skin, so it’s obviously not about looks, but personality.  He was charismatic and a lovable leader, and I would perform Jack’s lament while watching the movie.  For scenes like him climbing up the mountain or in graveyard, I would stand on a chair, but I can’t say I had a better voice than Jack.

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3. ...

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like...
