Character Crushes

If you're reading this on Monday, at this moment I am either hanging out in a tent, tramping through the woods, or swimming in the ice-cold river. I thought this would be a fun post.

Team Edward. Team Gale. Team Peeta. Team Jace. Team George. Team Jonathan. Team Jacob.

We all pick teams of our favorite male MCs. We wait and hope that they end up with the guy we want them to because he's so clearly perfect for her. Today's question is: "Who is your character crush?"

I have a lot of them, but here are my main three.
  • Jace (Mortal Instruments trilogy) -- I'm a sucker for his sarcasm. Being hot doesn't hurt.
  • George (Tamora Pierce's Alana quartet) -- I don't think he really requires any explanation.
  • Cabel (Wake series) -- He's such a sweetheart even after everything that he's been through. The mysterious bad-boy thing helps.
Gale and Peeta aren't on this list because I haven't picked what team I'm on yet. They're both so awesome. This is the first time I haven't been able to pick a team. (I'm secretly leaning towards Gale.)

Spill. Who's your character crush? I look forward to hearing about them when I get back. =D

I know what you mean about the hunger games. I can't help but go for Gale, although I know I'm in the minority. I just loved him from the first chapter and I think about him a lot even in the chapters he's not present, wondering about him watching the games, etc. But, will feel devastated for Peeta too, you know, if he doesnt get her... even though, Gale better get her. you know what i mean.

I love elizabeth scotts boys: Will from Perfect You (cool, so cool) and Greg from Stealing heaven (just about perfection).

Cameron Quick from Sara Zarr'a Sweethearts is pretty le sigh. :) although the book itself isn't a romance, I just love the character.

Seb from the year of secret assignments FTW!

Kartik from the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, Sam from Shiver, Nawat from the Trickster books. And of course, the ultimate literary crush, Mr. Darcy. :D

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
