My Top 3 Book Boys of 2011

I did a blog post with my Top Books of 2011, now it is time for a list of my Top 3 Book Boys of 2011. It was hard to find pictures to do a couple of these guys justice. But I tried. One there were a ton of photos for (considering there is a TV Show based on the book series.) So now, without further adieu, my Top 3 Book Boys of 2011.

1. The Vampire Diaries' Damon Salvatore
I love Damon Salvatore. Simply, absolutely adore him. Always have since the first time I read about in the first Vampire Diaries book about two and a half years ago. I tend to go for the extremely complicated, complex characters. The ones with lots of issues. Damon certainly fits that description. But I will always love him.

2. Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy's Sam Roth
Sam Roth. Ah, I love Sam Roth. Those yellow eyes. He loves poetry, plays guitar, writes songs. My kind of guy.

3. Unveiled's Xander
Charming, intelligent, chivalrous knight. But doesn't blindly follow the king and questions society. Gotta love a guy like that.














These were my Top Book Boys. Hoping to read more about them and others in 2012. Who were your Top Book Boys?

SWOON Thursday

On one of my favorite blogs, YA Bound- http://yabound.blogspot.com/ - they do a little something called Swoon Thursday. And anyone can join in on all the fun! Here's the directions from YA Bound:

"From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering. Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog! We want to know :-)"

Mine was much too long to post on Twitter. I just couldn't keep it down to 140 characters. It even took me a while to narrow it down to what I'm going to share here.

So here's mine:

He cups the back of my head and rolls on top of me, his kiss deepening as the weight of him presses me into the ground. I wrap my arms around him, feeling his strained muscles through the fabric of his uniform. Then he pulls his face away, his eyes locked on mine. -- Unveiled by Trisha Wolfe SWOON #YABound

Now it's your turn! What made you swoon?
