Best of 2011 Day#4

Today is for all those boys out there filling each page with love! As you may or may not know...I read for the boys! Yes it's a guilty sin of mine.... ;) Anywho! Here are my loves this year!! :D <3 <3 Some of these I was lucky enough to have an actual could be image of the boy but some I had to just use their book cover!

10. Josh from Hereafter by Tara Hudson. This boy is sooo cute! ^-^ He cares about Amelia full-heartedly and is not afraid to stand up to his grandmother and say he is going to be with her however he can. He is literally like a breath of fresh air. He is laid back and normal. He has a kind heart and is patient. Love him!

9. Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. This boy has a mouth! I love his sarcastic witty banter! I can't help but laugh! He is a tortured soul and I can't help but feel bad and want to comfort him. Plus psh! He is HOT! ;) 

8. Kai from Dark Seeker by Taryn Browning. That over there is MY button of him. Like it no? Yes? go vote for it here: VOTE! Ok sorry had to advertise there lol :) Ok this boy is also one smokin hott boy! Thos eyes! Ugh gorgeous! They are bright green! His past *sobs* So sad. His secrets *gasps* surprising but *sighs* it works out. Oh and his scythe! How he can fight and the power he beholds! Yupp this boy is crush worthy!  

7. Asher from A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies. This boy is H-O-T!!! His dark black hair, his charisma, his smarty-pants attitude and his love for breaking the rules. Oh and he also loves Skye! ;) lol Sigh this boy gave me goosebumps! <3 Can't wait to see more of him in the next one! *wiggles eyebrows* Haha

6. Puck from The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. I have always been a sucker for the best friend. You give me a book with a best (guy) friend in it and I will fall in love with him. I did with Simon, Isaac, Lucas, etc. And there is no stopping me from loving Puck too. Even though Ash is my prince I love Puck. He is so protective and loyal, patient, and most of all understanding. He would do anything for Meghan. Even give her up to his sworn enemy just because she is happy. How cute is that? :D

5. Four from Divergent by Veronica Roth. Yess, I ADORE FOUR!! Ah! This boy! Let's see what can I say about him? Four is one beyond cute! And two....man I am literally at a loss for words! I love why he is nicknamed "Four" It' sooo cute! He is always there by Tris' side, making sure she is alright. He would do anything for her. The ending! OMG! THE ENDING!!!! :O Ya I can't really find much more to say about Four. He is just to amazing for words! 

4. Alex from Delirium by Lauren Oliver. EEP! Alex! He. Is. ADORABLE! Every little thing about him makes him so very crush worthy! His eyes, HIM!, his past and secrets, his love for Lena, well pretty much EVERYTHING! I literally cried at the end! He does so much for Lena and never asks for anything in return. He thinks of her as perfect. He doesn't care about her past. He just loves her unconditionally! And I love HIM unconditionally! I really NEED Pandemonium! 

3. Vincent from Die For Me by Amy Plum. Holy cow you guys! This guy is amazing! He is French! (BONUS!) He is a zombie/revenant! (BONUS!) He saves lives (BONUS!) He loves Kate! (CUTENESS POINTS) all of that and more equalled together= one totally smokin hot guy! I'll take two please!! :D Vincent is unbelievable! *sighs* I need a guy like Vincent! :/ lol 

2. Patch from the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick. *sucks in breathe* Do I really need to say anything? Than hottie over there to the left is Patch's cover model! *dies* Patch is....well, Patch is everything! He can be my angel, fallen angel, guardian angel, anyday! He has that bad boy vibe down to the max! From his Black hair to his black eyes, to his black shirt, black pants, to the tips of his black booted toes! This boy is the definition of HOT! I had goosebumps with his every line. He had my stomach doin flips and me holdin my breathe! *sighs, melts, dies!*

1. Ash from the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. I bet you saw this coming ha? But psh!! Who can blame me!? When you have a hot ice prince as so, who WOULDN'T fall in love!? Ash is so distant in the beginning but slowly but surely he starts to thaw out. He loves Meghan with everything fiber of his body! And the feeling is mutual. This Prince who could never be loved or love again falls in love! EEP! His story is breathtaking! I LOVE him! I don't know what else to say when it comes to Ash! And I bawled my eyes out after I finished The Iron Knight. Why? because it was over. It IS over! *cries again* I will miss you Ash, prince of the Unseelie Court. You will always sit on the throne above all the fictional boys I read about. And you will always own my heart! *wipes tears* You will be missed! :,)

So there they are! All the most amazing boys I have ever read about! I know I'm missing a few but there are WAY to many to list them all. In fact all the ones I love are already in a list (not in order though) just find the #TeamAsh button on the side bar and follow the link! :) These boyr are amazing and the reason why I read haha If you could put them all together and then give him to me I would be so eternally grateful!

10. The Nightshade Trilogy by Andrea Cremer. I loved these books. These were the first werewolf books I have ever read and they were the perfect firsts! I absolutely adored Andrea Cremer's writing style and the world of the Keepers and Searchers and how it all tied together with the Guardians. Plus she created Shay! *sighs* I'm lookin forward to the last book: Bloodrose! :D

~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~

9. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I know these books have been out for awhile but I just read them this year. I had heard so much about them and told my brother to give them a try. After he finished the 1st one he told me how great he thought it was so I decided to. That was a wise move of mine haha not vain or anything but I'm glad I read these. It had loads of action! <3

~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~

8. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. This is another series that every one had already read. After this years YA-Crush Tourney  and how Jace beat Ash (my love of all time) I was curious about what made Jace so great so i finally got them all. Yes, so i read them for the boy (but isn't that what I do already) haha but now I can see why everyone is in love. Great books! Can't wait till the 5th! I guess now I have to read the Infernal Devices hah? :)

~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~

6.  Dark Seeker by Taryn Browning. This book was plain out kick-ass! Jannie is one tough chica. I loved the whole story line! The characters and uhem *giggles* the ending! Kai is pure out HOTT-TASTIC!! I loved this boy with his skythe, his beautiful green eyes, secrets, and love. Well pretty much EVERYTHING. Not to mention this was my first ever ARC! And this was a great first too! Taryn is pure amazing! Loved this book!

~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. The Hush, Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick This series was also pure out AMAZING! I loved everything about it. I love Nora's character she was vulnerable but very strong when she needed to be. I love her best friend Vee! She is hilarious! And last but CERTAINLY not least....Patch! Dang he can be my angel ANY day!! Hot! Hot! Hot! And you wanna know what else is "Hot! Hot! Hot!? Nora and Patch's steamy relationship! I was literally swooning with every page Patch was on! *melts* *faints* *sighs dreamily* Book four needs to hurry up!

I can't say much more it's just too amazing for words! Another sequel I am dying to have! (haha get what I did there! ;)

               ~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~

3. Divergent by Veronica Roth. And once again a book that blew my mind! I Love the whole world/situation Veronica created! The factions. The stimulation. Everything!! To prove how great this book is: I lent it to a friend who does not like books at all for a book report and she finished it all in ONE night! I think that proves my point! No? Then go read it yourself! You NEED! this book! Four! Sigh...Four! I love you!!! :D *crazy fan girl scream* I quote my non-readin friend: "I would have a mystery guy catch me after falling to my doom any day of it was a guy like Four!" Enough said! ;) Insurgent I needeth thou noweth! lol

~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Ok so if you haven't heard me say this before I'll say it again. I was really hesitant to read this book. The whole "love is a disease" thing kinda through me off. Then we were assigned to a book report (yes the same one I mentioned as above. She read Divergent and I read Delirium.) I decided to give it a try. BEST. DECISION. I. HAVE. EVER. MADE!!!! No joke! I LOVED, OBSESSED over this book! The whole "love is a disease" thing worked out perfect! Alex...Dear sweet Alex! *cries* *wipes tears away* Sorry.

Make sure to fill it out! :)

City of Bones (#1 Mortal Instruments Series)
Author: Cassandra Clare
Publish Date: March 27, 2007
Source: Bought
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Pages: 485

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end. {Goodreads}

This book is nothing like the Young Adult books now. Now it's (honestly) pretty much the same thing: normal girl, so she thinks, is at high school when  a totally hot mysterious guy shows up and for some reason finds interest in her. They fall in love and then BAM! He is not who he said he was. nope he is a vampire!! (or  werewolf or fae, etc.) Don't get me wrong...I LOVE those books haha but that's normally what they are. Right?

Not these books. These books tell a whole different story. Yes, Clary is a normal girl, so she thought, and is drawn into a world she never new about but it was really different still. I couldn't help but compare it to the Harry Potter series. Not in the way of magic, adventure, and secrets but as in how different it is from the average YA book. They both have the thing of a dark lord who seeks power and is somehow connected to the main character. I love both of theses books!! I am probably not going to make sense since I am kinda rambling but hopefully you get what I mean! :)

Clary Frey is your average teenager. She live with her mom, has a best-friend Simon and has a special talent. Her talent, like her mom, is being artistic. Her dad died when she was very young and they now live by themselves. Well, that is always what she had been told but in reality......Clary is the daughter of Shadowhunter Jocelyn Fairchild and *bum, bum, bummmm* *********Spoiler:
Valentine Morgentstern, the evil lord of Idris
**********end of spoiler.

 This book is filled with so many surprises! Like no joke! Once you make a conclusion BAM!your wrong and it turns a corner! Then the cycle repeats. I think I was only right like twice while reading the WHOLE series! Maybe I'm just a bad guesser eh I don't know. Haha I have to let you in on a little secret. When the YA-Crush tourney was going on I was #TeamAsh all the way and when Ash had to go up against Jace I was devastated when he lost. I hated Jace. I didn't know why everyone loved him so much I mean come on! Jace vs. Ash!? That should be a no-brainer! So when I got the chance to read Jace's books I was warry and After the first book my thoughts were "Ewww! What the heck!" because of ***Spoiler:
Jace was Clary's brother! Who in the world writes a book like that! I have a little brother and I found the idea revolting! I just couldn't get that idea past me. I wasn't sure whether or not to stop reading!
*****End of spoiler
But in the end the fan base these books were getting kept me reading and I was glad I didn't stop reading! Jace is adorable and he is a fictional crush of mine and even though I know pretty much everone of you is going to hate me after saying this but I still love Ash 10x more. Yes, I said it! Sorry but don't get me wrong Jace is um HOTNESS TO THE CORE! and I extremely love him!

Cassandra Clare definitely has a way with words. I absolutely love her writing style. Throughout the books you will find yourself reading from many diferent points of views. You don't just get the main character's view or even both the girl and boy's veiw like how other books do but you get pretty much every single characters point of view Simon's, Alec's, Magnus' , Izzy's, and even the girl you didn't know at all (you do after that). And I absolutely loved it.

Now reading that, probably some of you are thinking "Wouldn't you get confused? How do you know right away who's eyes your seeing through?" and here's the answers: No you don't even if at sometimes you aren't sure who it is right from the first line...the second line does. It is made easy and you will fall in love with it at the end

~~~~~***RATE***~~~~

 

~~~~***Final Say-So***~~~~

Yes this a book you ALL need to read. This series was incredible! It will not dissapoint and for those of you who may think what I was thinking by the end of the first book and thought of quitting too. Here's some advice: DONT! what ever you do do NOT stopping reading. It gets better I promise! And DONT stop on the second one either! Trust me on this guys! :)
