Top 10 Characters of 2011


Sooo...I had NO idea what to write for this post! Do I pick the Top 10 characters I’d wanted to be best friends with? Who made me laugh? Favorite secondary characters? Most bad-ass characters? Characters who bugged the piss outta me?! Characters I wish I would’ve met this year?! What?! What!? WHAT!? I had NO idea! Sooo, I decided to go with favorite family members! WOOHOO! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Nathan and Andy (Lola and the Boy Next Door)- AHAHA!  LOLA'S DADS!!! OMG! They were probably my favoritest thing about this whole entire book! NO. LIE. They were super parental and totally funny and so FREAKIN’ cute! Pretty sure they’re the best parents I’ve ever read about! They should have a spin off! Between them teasing Lola and hounding her boyfriend Max, they always got me to laugh! 

2. Natalie (Divergent)— Tris’s mom is magnificent! Honestly, if you read Divergent for one reason, read it to meet Tris’s mom! She’s so loyal and understanding and accepting and just...totally...mom-ish! I just wanted her to hug me! <- don’t laugh, it’s true! I loved her a TON! 

3. Periwinkle Fern (Clarity)—Clarity’s older brother is extremely flirty and funny annnd he can summon and talk to the dead! How bomb is that!? I would totes date him in a heartbeat! 

4. Ansel Tor (Nightshade Series)—He is the little brother I wish I had! He’s adorable and just this little ball of energy! (Well... at least he was in the first book) I just want to pick him up and squeeze him in a bear wolf hug! He's that darling! ha! Seriously.

5. Metias (Legend) –Even though we don’t know him for very long, he’s kind and protective and silly and everything you could want in an older brother! I wish there would've been more of him in Legend! 

6. Tamra (Firelight)—Jace’s twin sister surprised me a TON in Vanish! I really grew to like her! She basically got awesome and became less of a snob!


7. Mickey Keeley (Shade)—For my soul mate’s older brother I only need to say three words: brooding—tortured—musician. *swoon* I love him to death and just wish he'd be happy! Here's hoping that he finds that in Shine!

8. Rachel (Forgive My Fins)—Lily’s aunt took on a huge responsibility by taking Lily in and letting her live on land. And not only does she become Lily's second mom, she also BAKES! Annnd THAT attracts Quince! Hur.RAH! 

9. Georgia (Die For Me)—SHE IS EXACTLY LIKE MY SISTER! Holy snap! I swear they could pass as the same person! Georgia likes to go out and party and have fun, she likes to be the center of attention and she is never short on boys! But—she’ll be there to comfort her sister in a heartbeat and that’s what I like most about her! Family comes first! 

10. Talon (Under the Never Sky)—Perry’s nephew is the sweetest little thing in the world. He looks up to Perry so much and it’s adorable. He also just wants his dad and uncle to get along and he tries to hard to please both of them. Yes, I like him a lot and hope to gosh he’s in the sequel some more!

Top 10 Book Boyfriends in 2011


WARNING: RANT BY A HUSSY AHEAD!

Logan Keeley (Shade/Shift)—Otherwise known as my fictional soul mate!  He’s pretty much sex in Vans & Cargos. Annnd he’s also the frontman of a band for crying out loud! Talk about sexy! But Logan’s more than good looks and amazing vocals, he’s just…incredible. He’s genuine and funny and caring—he takes everything to heart and even in death, he’s so full of life! *sobs* He also knows how to make me cry. I’m talkin’ a torrential down pour of tears, it’s a true gift that the boy has! Never have I been so obsessed infatuated IN LOVE with a fictional boy. He owns my heart and always will.

Peregrine (Under the Never Sky)— Even though he's a '12er, i HAD to pick him because Hot. Damn! This boy is seriously so freaking sexy. With his rugged exterior and tough guy personality he's sure to make you have a Peregasm! He knows how to handle a weapon, survive under the harshest of conditions and kiss like nobody’s business. *Sighs* And once you get to know him, he’s completely compassionate and sensitive and basically just everything you could ever want in a fictional love! HE. IS. HOT. AS. EFF. AND. I. WANT. TO. DO. INAPPROPRIATE. THINGS. TO. HIM. (Not ashamed.) 

Day (Legend)—Oh, you cute criminal, you! Day is the most attractive 15 year old I have ever read about. And if that’s wrong of me to say/type, then I don’t want to be right! That is all.

Tod Hudson (Soul Screamer Series)—I would risk a brush with death just so Tod could swing by and perhaps reap my soul. Again, if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right! He’s sexy and sarcastic and amazing and if you-know-who decides she doesn’t want him, I’ll take him!

Quince Fletcher (Forgive My Fins)—One word: Motorcycle. Three Words: He rides one. UNFF! Quince is the sweetest bad boy you’ll ever meet. He dresses the part, acts the part, maybe even talks the part, but when it comes down to it, he’s nothing but a polite softie! Well, for the most part! Quince has impeccable timing and incredible comeback skills, which I happen to admire very much. Oh yeeah, and he’s built like a God! He. Is. So. Attractive. And. I. Want. To. Have. His. Babies. (Juuuust sayin’.)

Tucker Avery (Unearthly)—If you would’ve told me that I would fall for a cowboy early last year, I would’ve slapped you sideways. Cowboys are SOOO NOT my type, but Tucker definitely is! *wink*

Cassian (Vanish)— Never did I think my love for Will Sex Pot Rutledge could be rivaled by a Draki Dude, but holy snap, boy is it ever! Cassian is SO cocky and assertive yet totally charming and sweet! I’ll be so absolutely devastated if Jacinda doesn’t pick him. But then maybe, juuuust maybe, I’ll have to be the one to console him! ;)

Jules (Die For Me)— Jules is basically perfection! He’s extremely charming, incredibly talented and funny as hell. He kicks-ass, speaks French, and saves lives! Fun, Flirty and Foxy! What’s not to love!?

Alden Thomas (Shattered Souls)—He’s witty and gorgeous and protective! Not to mention he can make one hell of a cup of hot chocolate, take away your anxiety with a simple touch, annnnd would probably like being handcuffed. ---> *swoons* *drools* *dies*

Alex Kylar (Angel Burn)—He’s an angel killin’, fast drivin’, tatted up stud! GAH! Do I even have to continue!?

Honorable Mentions: Adam Kent (Shatter Me), Adam Wilde (Where She Went), Kaleb Ballard (Hourglass), Étienne St. Clair (Anna and the French Kiss), Four (Divergent), Rían DeRis (Carrier of the Mark), Haden Black (Falling Under), Gabriel (Wither),  Alex (Delirium), Theseus Cassio Lowood (Anna Dressed In Blood), Ethan (Wolfsbane), Cole (Everneath), Stalker (Enclave)...and...umm... like 60 other HOT A$$ boys I’ve read about!

Top 10 Books I’ve read in 2011


1. Legend by Marie Lu- DAY and JUNE! DAY and JUNE! I love, i love Day and June! Seriously, they are some of the most incredible characters i have ever read about! They are so kick-ass and smart and mature and GAH! I developed a crush on both of them. I loved this book so hard annnnnd i want the next one yesterday!

Shade (Shade, #1)2. Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready- *Sighs* Where do i even begin with this book? Shade was basically my life this year. I constantly carried it around with me, quoted it to random people, thought about it, cried over it, kissed it, and then cried over it some more. It will forever be one favoritest books. Logan Keeley. Do i HAVE to say anything else?

3. If I Die by Rachel Vincent- YESSSSSSSSH!! FINALLY! OMG! OMG!! OMG!! HURRAY!! It was meant to be! *SCREAMS!* Ooooh, Tod. *swoons* As of yet, this is BY FAR the best book in the Soul Screamers Series!  

4. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand- This is possibly THE. BEST. Angel book i've ever read! The story wasn't bogged down with ridiculous angel lore and it was so much more than a "paranormal romance," i think that's what i liked best. Oh, yeah annd there's this boy named Tucker! 'Nuff said. 

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)5. Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake- Kick-ass-ghost-killing MC? Check. Ghost-who-kills-everyone-who-enters-her-house? Check. Blood and gore? Check. Snarky lines? Check. Adorable romance? CHECK. Yep. This book was phenomenal. 

6. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi- ADAM FREAKIN' KENT! That is all. 

7. Die For Me by Amy Plum- PARIS! JULES! PARIS! REVENANTS! JULES! The setting in Die For Me was absolutely breath-taking, and so was a certain character named Jules *wink* This book was romantical and kick-butt and just fantastic! 

Where She Went (If I Stay, #2)8. Where She Went by Gayle Forman- *sniffle* My poor babe Adam! I don't even know how many times i've re-read this book-it's so incredible. I think having it told from Adam's P.O.V. (guys p.o.v. is the BEST! omg! *swoons* *drools* *dies*) is what makes this book so damn heartbreaking. The boy is completely broken and to read his thoughts...hurts my heart so. much. I'm glad the book ended how it did buuut I want more Adam & Mia!

9. Delirium by Lauren Oliver-  I stalked this book forever before it was released! When i first read the synopsis i was like, "WHAAA?! That is INSANE!" and then when it finally came out I bought myself a copy and just stared at. The original cover was soo prettyful to me and when i finally flipped it open i found out that the words inside were just as gorgeous! The story was fantastic and the ending....the ending...holy snap. Alex! *sobs* 

Under the Never Sky10. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi- I was not going to add this to the list because it's a 2012er BUT. OMG! I loved this book so much, i can't wait to buy it next week!! Ahh! Everthing about it was incredible! Peregrine, the Realms, Peregrine, the aether storms, Peregrine, smart eyes, Peregrine, *sighs* did i mention Peregrine!!? SQUEE! The boy is simply perfect. He's rugged and sexy and unff. I want to marry him. Oh! And the alternating P.O.V. between him and Aria was completely amazing-i already want the sequel! <3
