The Top Ten of 2015 event is hosted by Jaime from Two Chicks on Books, Rachel from Fiktshun, Nancy from Tales of a Ravenous Reader, and Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads!
Today, I'm sharing my top ten favorite book boyfriends of 2015!
(In no particular order.)
(Also, the pictures link to my reviews.)
Black Knife from The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows.
Chet Falconer from Dangerous Lies by Becca Fitzpatrick.
René from Rook by Sharon Cameron.
Adrian from Velvet by Temple West.
Caius from The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey.
Melek from Of Dreams and Rust by Sarah Fine.
Elias from An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.
Kaz from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.
Titus from The Immortal Heights by Sherry Thomas.
Khalid from The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh.
(I think Khalid is my year-end favorite!)
I only did ten today! *high fives self* This is my YA-only list! No swoony boyfriends from adult or New Adult novels. :)
Click that button for all swoons I've posted, including the most recent ones that have featured 2016-published novels!
Black Knife is on my list too! I love Chet from Dangerous Lies should have hd him, so hard to pick only 10!
ReplyDeleteIt really was though!
DeleteYes to Elias!!!! I haven't read any of these others yet, but I need to!
ReplyDeleteYou must, Erin!
DeleteLove the list. Rene was a personal favorite this year - he had me lol'ing at times and swooning in other moments. I second Khalid, Kaz, and Elias as well.
ReplyDeleteI would like to add:
Tamlin from A Court of Thorns and Roses
Roth from Every Last Breath
Rowan from Queen of Shadows
I liked Tamlin too! I still need to read Every Last Breath and Queen of Shadows, sadly. :o
DeleteWe have none in common! Lol That's just a testament to how little I was able to read this year. However, I just got THE ORPHAN QUEEN as part of my last otspsecretsister package, so you're making me even more excited to read it!
ReplyDeleteLOL! There were so many swoony boys though. I hope you love The Orphan Queen, Lili!
DeleteYES Khalid! Man I loved that guy, even though I was worried I wouldn't before starting the book he won me over in no time flat ♥ I haven't read the rest of your picks here but I need to! Happy Holidays :)
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! I hope he is back in swoony action in The Rose and the Dagger!
DeleteOMG swoon love your book boyfriends! They’re all such great picks! Thanks so much for taking part in the Top 10 of 2015! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your Top 10’s :D
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jaime @ Two Chicks On Books
Thank YOU, Jaime!
DeleteOh my gosh, I fell so hard for Chet! I didn't think I'd like him that much but I was mistaken ;) I'm also super excited to meet Khalid and Kaz when I finally read The Wrath and the Dawn and Six of Crows. Great list, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteZareena @ The Slanted Bookshelf
RIGHT?! I really liked him (and the male protagonist in Black Ice)! I hope you love those two books, Zareena. Thank you!
DeleteOh man so many boyfriends I know I need to meet. I especially cannot wait to meet Chet since I always love Beccas books. And Adrian too cause Velvet sounds amazing. Awesome list.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think - I didn't even put my adult boyfriends on here! ;D Thank you, Teresa!
DeleteElias made mine as well! Nice list
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you!
DeleteElias from An Ember in the Ashes is the only one I've read so far, although you have lots of other books on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Best Book Boyfriends
I hope you get to read some of these books then, Lisa!
DeleteI've seen Kaz pop-up on so many lists! It's making me super excited to read the six of crows. Especially since I just found out it's ready for me to pick up from the library!
ReplyDeleteHe is sooo swoony - and the book was really good! I hope you enjoy it. :D
DeleteDefinite yes to Kaz, Elias and Adrian!! Gosh Adrian <3 and Kaz <3 We need the sequels to all three books!
ReplyDeleteYES! Crooked Kingdom, A Torch Against the Night, and Cashmere could not come fast enough!
DeleteYaaay for book boyfriends :D I love some of these too. <3 Sigh. But especially Titus :D He is simply perfect. Sigh. Adore those books :) Thank you for sharing about these awesome boys Alyssa ;) Gorgeous post, as always. <3
ReplyDeleteHE IS! I'm sad to see him go. Thank you, Carina!
DeleteThe Wrath and the Dawn was incredible. I am so looking forward to the sequel. I also enjoyed Dangerous Lies. I have to check out the rest. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt needs to be here like right now! I hope you enjoy some of these if you read them. =)
DeleteWe have a few in common Alyssa! Great minds think alike and all that jazz :) Kaz is also my favorite character in Six of Crows.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! I can't wait for us to have Crooked Kingdom in our hands! =)
DeleteYou need to do an adult list sometimes too! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Kaz! And Kahlid is so interesting. I really need to read Rook soon. Awesome list, Alyssa!
I AGREE! My top adult books all have males I love. ;) But you're right, I need an adult boyfriend list.
DeleteThank you, Cyn!
