Jordyn and Kelsey told me I should post my top 5 favorite fictional boys, since we were ~*inspired*~ to pick our favorites after reading Trish Doller's post on the subject.
So, here are my top five (in no particular order):
---Seth from Wicked Lovely
He's got a lot of tattoos, but oh well. Seth is undeniably sweet and worries about Aislinn so much even though he doesn't have to. I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet, but he can't go that bad in that book, can he?
---Darragh from the Sevenwaters Trilogy.
He's not well known, but that doesn't stop me from liking him so much. He's so sweet. He travels all over the country to protect the girl who doesn't even like him back at first! And he sells his pony. His gorgeous pony that he loves. If that doesn't show true dedication, I don't know what does.
---Kartik from the Gemma Doyle Trilogy.
LOVELOVELOVE. He's so sweet and awesome and the ending of The Sweet Far Thing made me want to WEEP. He's just so...Kartik.
---Spencer from Suite Scarlett
He's not the romantic lead of the book, but who cares?! He's Spencer. He's hilarious and completely adorable.
---Dexter from This Lullaby
Dexter is endearingly clumsy. And he is a band, and writes songs, and cares for Remy no matter what. How do you not love Dexter?
And just for fun, here's five fictional boys I don't see the appeal in:
---Edward Cullen.
No. Just no.
---Jacob Black.
Again, just no.
---Jace from the Mortal Instruments series
HE'S SO ANNOYING I CAN'T STAND HIM. He's so arrogant and gah. He bugs me. SIMON IS BETTER!
---Marcus from the Jessica Darling series
Really, what's so appealing? He's not terrible, but I don't like him, unlike many others do.
---Zane from the Uglies series.
TEAM DAVID ALL THE WAY. (David was competing with Seth and many others for the last spot in the list of boys I like.) Zane isn't bad either, but really? Zane over David? Did anyone not see how Zane us- ok, I can't spoil it.

I now encourage all of you to either blog your 5 favorite YA boys or post them in comments. Lists are FUN!
Good choices!
ReplyDeleteKartik? Please tell me that's a result of the events of the second book because AGATB didn't sell me on him at all!
ReplyDeleteI am a Zane fan, though I like David too.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to post something like this soon! It's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHere's a question: Do you really not like Edward and Jacob, for your own reasons, or have you become prejudiced because there are so many people in love with them?
Don't like Edward? *chuckle* Good for you!

Jared from Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress! Me and Tina have talked exhaustively about him and I love him!
ReplyDeleteMichael from The Morganville Vampire Series.
Roger from Melissa Walker's Violet Series.
Eric from Suite Scarlett.
Seth from the Death By series.
Aah... what a fun idea for a list! I have to say I agree with you on Edward and Jacob. The only other guy I'm familiar with on the list is Seth, and I thought he was just okay (granted, I've only read the first book in that series... he came off as a bit cardboard to me, but he was still probably the most appealing character in the whole book).
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about some of those others...
Darragh!! Oh, I remember him really well, even though I read the trilogy a while ago. He left quite a huge impression on me!
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of your choices. Except Jace. He's arrogant in an extremely good way. I'm glad someone else is in love with Kartik though! Oh the ending... poor Kartik. I DID weep. XD So did Lauren. Fun list. :)
ReplyDelete- Alex
Yay for another Zane disliker! David ALL the way <3
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these lists. Funny that the same people who hate Jacob/Edward don't like Jace either.
ReplyDeletespectacular list!!
ReplyDeleteyou inspired me to make my own...
