I just totally remembered something. How could I not have written about Ian from the Host? I'm a total Stephenie Meyer fan and I forgot him! What is wrong with me?? =]
Mmmmk well today, our little addition is Ian. Ian is someone who loves unconditionally. It all started with a spirit or soul named Wanderer. Wanderer's soul was put in a human girl's body. Soon, Wanderer found out that she could still hear Melanie, the girl who's body Wanderer inhabits, even though that part of her mind was supposed to be dead. So basically Melanie, the real owner of the body, was still present mentally and would yell at Wanderer and stuff because she took her body. Eventually, Wanderer begins to see how what the souls are doing is wrong (killing off humans and embeding a soul in them). She feels bad for Melanie and they start to cooperate with each other. Melanie then tells Wanderer about a secret cave that her uncle built in case something like this ever happened. She remembered the coded directions and led Wanderer there.
Wanderer is in a rude awakening when she is taken to the caves. When a soul is in a human body, the body's eyes have a silver ring around the pupil. That is how they can tell the difference of who is who. They sort of beat Wanderer up and take her down to the cave after they find her wandering in the desert. Before Wanderer even started this journey, Melanie showed her images from the past, which were of her younger brother, Jamie and her boyfriend, Jared. So when Wanderer saw Jared, her body yearned for him. It wasn't her fault. It was just the body's natural reaction. Jared then swears he hates her etc, but inside you know he's hurting, seeing the woman he loved's body inhabited by a soul.
Then there's Ian. Ian's older brother hates Wanderer, but Ian loves her. Ian doesn't love Melanie's body, but the soul living inside of it. He loves the creature that Wanderer is.
In the book, he states that he loves her, not the body she is in, but her for who she is. Now that is the beautiful thing about him. And when Wanderer has to be taken out, he gets to hold her and he even tells her that she's beautiful (if you haven't read the book, then you won't know what I'm talking about).
Here's a quote:
"She is. Melanie is a very pretty girl. Even beautiful. But pretty as she is, she's a stranger to me. She's not the one I care about." ~Ian O'Shea
So what team are you on? Team Howe (Jared)? or Team O'Shea (Ian)?
I'm team O'Shea and those of you who don't know how to answer, that's because you didn't read the book. You can't even say Team Howe since I didn't really post anything about him =P

Fictional Boyfriend #29
Tobey is the next addition to this list. He is from When It Happens by Susane Colasanti. This book is seriously one of my favorites. It's hilarious since it's told from both a boy and a girl. Tobey is just amazing though. He is a totally sensitive guy and will only have one girl: Sara. So basically the story goes through how they first got to know each other and how much Tobey already liked her. It shows how devoted he is to her from an early stage because he refuses to move on from her. His friends tell him that he can have whomever he wants and he chose her of all the other girls. Right there is a quality most guys DON'T have. He wont settle for just anyone.
Anyways, the story goes on and all is good. It's totally funny reading Tobey's thoughts as well as knowing Sara's. He's constantly making little comments in his mind about things. Here's one of my favorite little remarks he makes:
pg.60
Tobey tripped up the stairs as he tried to catch up to Sara to talk to her.
Sarah bends down to help me up. "Are you okay?" she says.
I get up quickly like it's no big deal. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Every time I see you, you're bumping you head!"
And every time I see you, I wish my headboard was bumping against the wall. With you in my bed.
Little things like this make me crack up.
Here's some evidence he's sensitive and really does want to have a REAL relationship with Sara.
pg.86
Tobey confronts Laila to ask if she will trade partners with him since Sara is her partner and he wants to get to know Sara more.
"Why should I help you?" she says.
I try to find the right words to make her see that this has to happen. "It would give us the chance to find out if this is what I think it is."
"And what's that?"
I take a deep breath. "Something real," I say.
Isn't he so awesome? haha yeah of course he is!!

Fictional Boyfriend #28
Sorry I haven't been on in a LONG time... School has me tied up and then I was trying to finish Rumors as fast as I could. For those of you that have read it, I cried at the end and got really pissed off. How could that happen to you know who?? The only reason I started that series has abruptly been taken out. I nearly decided to add Henry to the list out of pure insanity, but thankfully the sanity returned and I have now decided that I have found someone else to fill his undeserved spot.
Since the Russian Revolution destroys her life, Anna, who is a countess, flees to England with a few members of her family. Since they are poor, Anna goes to the Westerholme family and becomes a maid. A few weeks into her service, she meets the owners' son, Rupert. Rupert is unfortunately engaged, but that doesn't stop him in taking notice of the beautiful, new maid. He ends up finding himself to be falling in love with her-just the lowly housemaid. Knowing that he can't marry her, Rupert tells Anna his feelings and decides it's just better to stick with his fiance, who he is only marrying since his family is suffering financial issues.
A sudden turn of events occurs for Anna and she is rich again. The family nurse, who was given the family jewels, finally found where the family was staying and bippity boppity boo, Anna's social status had now finally returned. She was once again a RICH countess. Rupert finds this out and is outraged that Anna didn't initially tell him who she was.
Rupert is then stuck with one problem: his nightmare of a fiance. The house servants all get together and devise a plan that will make the fiance not want to marry him anymore. Their witty plan worked and they persuaded Anna to go back to the mansion to finish up the amount of work she was contracted to. Anna only agreed to going because she thought Rupert would be in India.
When she goes to serve the food, she sees Rupert and before she can escape, his eye catches her and he goes off on her etc. Then he realizes how much he loves her and how much she loves him and well there you have it. Just another happy ending.
This book is called A Countess Below Stairs and I do recommend it, although it takes a while to get into the story and is sort of hard to read because it takes place back in the early 20th century.
