  1. No Mr Darcy?

    There's a character called Ben in a book called Guardian who will give them all a run for their money (if I ever finish writing it! HA!)

    I loved Roiben too - have you read Ironside yet?

  2. Did you know that the book in the picture is New Moon? And yet none of Meyer's boys made the list.

  3. Janey - woohoo! Can't wait to meet Ben! And, no, I'm not a Mr. Darcy girl. (I'm not a huge Austen fan...I know, blasphemy....)

    B. - Of course I know it's New Moon. I still think Jacob teaching Bella to ride a motorcycle was a bad idea. (I actually think the two middle books were a pretty bad idea...) The post is a tribute to the movie releasing today. None of Rowling's boys made the list, either. I just feel too old.

  4. Oh, one of Rowling's made my list... I always had a bit of a thing for Sirius Black... must've been the bad boy thing...

    Phineas from A Separate Peace would've made my list, too... I read it in high school and lurved him...

    Ranger from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series - yep, gotta be the bad boy thing...

    I've never actually thought about this before, but I could probably get together quite a list... oh, Dumas' men would definitely be in there - quite a few of them.

    How about a list of heroes that don't work for you... I have a long list of those, too.

  5. I don't know I've had some pretty good literary crushes on female characters with Nymphadora Tonks taking the top spot, but I think I could have fun with Stephanie Plum as well.

  6. Yeah, I can totally agree with a crush on Tonks...
