It's been really sad lately. Every book I pick up, I end up putting right back down because I just don't want to read. Now if you know me, then that is so unlike me to feel that way. Books, to me, are a way to keep my sanity as well as live a life with more excitement. It's a way to tell the world to shut up for a few seconds because life isn't headed in a direction you want, or at least, not headed in the right way. Given the fact that I've had finals this week, that's probably a reason why I haven't picked up a book for a few weeks. Like I said, everytime I tried, I failed.
Anyways, so I don't know about you, but I like to really get into a book because of the awesome lives some of the characters live. Now there is a downside to that "getting involved" thing. You feel the pain that the character feels as well as grief, depression, etc. Haha, when I was reading the In or Out Series, my emotions were on a rollercoaster. So much drama happening within like a MONTH!!!
I was really excited to start this series because the girls and guys were my age and everything. Then it just turned into absolute chaos. I usually hate books where true friendships are ruined by a girl who wants to be popular and stuff. It makes me want to smack them. Haha anyways, so I was reading this and Marnie and Nola are both going at it. I mean they are just vicious! But we aren't here to discuss how ridiculous this all was. I was more interested in talking about a guy for this list that I don't remember posting and I even CHECKED TWICE to see if I did and I don't think I did.
So this is about Matt and even though I actually really really really liked Ian a LOT more than Matt, it's probably better that Nola was with someone her own age 0_o. Haha but like awww it was so cute how Matt showed up at the dance at the end of Friends Close, Enemies Closer and he was so amazing etc. Haha I'm just randomly going on and on about how cute that moment was. But one problem. Who says this and makes it sound actually CUTE? huh? "What's so funny, beautiful girl in the amazing dress?"
You know what, I change my mind. This is about Ian. Because guess what. I like him more. He was so awesome kissing Nola when they were both frustrated and so much tension in the air. Now THAT is a couple that could have made it. I cried when he left. Then stupid Matt decided he liked Nola now after ditching his freak-o girlfriend... that won't be a very long fling. Hahaha as you can tell, I'm just getting mad at the series. For reals though, it's a cute series if you have time and money to read it :P
GO IAN!!

Fictional Boyfriend #40
Yay!! Hit 40!!
So today's boy/man is also from Ink Exchange. His name is Irial :D. I really loved this character. Not many people can come along and make you totally change the way you are living, the way you think, and the way you feel. Well, Leslie did just that to Irial. He was 1000000% evil. No joke. Then Leslie gets his symbol as her tattoo and he's totally bonded to her. That does not mean that he has to love her or be in love with her. It just meant that they shared a bond that would make it so that she could feed his royal court.
He never expected to fall in love with Leslie and want to give her whatever she wanted.
The thing that appealed to me was that this totally horrible guy turned almost all the way around because of a girl... she changed him for the good. Also, his evil charm does appeal too :P I mean he's a bad boy and well as much as I try to fight the cliche of that being attractive, in books, I can't fight it. He's too loveable, even though at times he would make my skin crawl...
Hahah three cheers for Irial!! Hopefully he'll find someone else... well maybe not. Because even though I like the guy, I am a loyal member of the Summer Court :P
I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet, so don't spoil anything for me!! (hahah like how I spoil things for you :P)
PS~ sorry for any mistakes I made!! Too lazy to correct :D

Fictional Boyfriend #39
Yay!! I'm updating!!
Okay so my new person is Niall from Ink Exchange. He's actually from Wicked Lovely too, but we don't get to see the boyfriend potiential in him during that book.
So Niall...
He's really a being that belongs in the Dark Court, but works for the Summer Court after fleeing from the Dark Court. Anyways, he is assigned to Leslie, the Summer Queen, Aislinn's best friend, to watch and protect. The bad news is that Leslie gets an ink exchange, which is basically a tattoo that ties her to one of the members of the Dark Court which happens to be Irial, the King of the Dark Court.
This isn't really the important part since we are really just here to talk about Niall... this mini background was just so you understood that he was once a part of a evil court and that those ways are still in him, even though he decided to go to the Summer Court.
He got involved with Leslie, as in he began to drop his glamour and be around Leslie and sure enough the two of them got together. The bad parts that came to this? 1) Niall has a highly addictive touch. Any mortal that gets intimate with him (just kissing can be bad as well as hugging), they begin to become addicted to his touch. 2) Leslie, through the ink exchange, actually belongs to Irial because she chose his symbol to be tattooed on to her skin.
Throughout the story you can really tell that Niall really does love Leslie and is so torn at what to do. He doesn't want to get her too involved with his world because of the danger, but he wants her for himself. His decision in the end actually shocked me (for those who've read this, I'm talking about the decision he made about the courts etc) and really proved that he wasn't just missing torturing mortals, but he really did love Leslie.
PS~ If you see any grammatical errors, I apologize... I'm just too lazy to correct this whole thing :P

Fictional Boyfriend #38
Sooo I don't know how many of you know this, but I'm a pretty big Meg Cabot fan. She is one of the most represented authors on my bookcase. Anyways, I read this book that was by "Princess Mia" called Ransom My Heart. I was deeply enthralled by this book. I mean it was nothing that I would have expected and I found myself laughing so hard. I hadn't laughed in a long time before reading this book. It seriously brought me great joy.
It's about this girl in 1291 that finds this man to ransom for money so that her sister will have a dowry so she can marry this man that she so-called "loves" (he turns out to be the biggest D-bag ever). Anyways, so Finnula, the girl who is helping out her sister, ends up falling in love with Hugo, or at the time she knows him as Sir Hugh, the man she holds for ransom. It was one of the best books I've read all year that's all by itself (meaning that it isn't part of the series).
Anyways I wanted to add Hugo because even though he's arrogant and whatnot (whatnot being all the girls hes "bedded") but I like to think of how he is with Finnula and how cute and fun everything seems to be. Haha it made me want to get married :P

Fictional Boyfriend #37
Finished with Hunted (:
Very interesting story etc. I was entertained pretty much the whole time. I ended up really liking Stark! I really like how he ended up getting marked too. The arrows thing is pretty darn cool. He seems like a pretty okay guy and I also really liked the fact that he chose to be good and swore himself to Zoey. Pretty good dude... didn't like that he almost killed himself though. That was not cool :P
I'm having to agree with a lot of people though on a few things. I'm not liking how Zoey seems to get all the choice guys. Now that is pretty annoying and unrealistic. The other thing is that Erik is WAY too controlling and stuff. He can be a sweet guy when he wants to be, but I mean he asks for too much and is trying to take hold of Zoey's life and dictate how she lives. So NOT cool!!!

Finished with Untamed
Alright so I finished Untamed today and it was very very interesting.
I found out that I totally liked Stark even though he was only in the book for a little bit. When he died, I practically cried since I couldn't believe that something so good was dying already! So yeah I guess I like him... A lot of my friends like him, but I mean they've already finished Hunted so I'm hoping I get to know him more in that book.
Ugh Neferet makes me sick!!
And then I have to post about Erik and Heath. So Erik still gets on my nerves. I mean hello, he's overly pyscho to me. First he acts all hatin' towards Zoey, but then he practically makes out with her on stage. His moodswings give me whiplash. Then it broke my heart when Heath and Zoey talked at that chicken place. I wanted him to ask to reImprint or something, but knew of course that he wouldn't ever offer that because of the pain he went through. Poor guy ): That's why I don't even know if I really like Zoey all that much anymore. It seems as if she isn't content with just one guy... she always has to have a backup it seems like. Oh well, I still feel like I'm her when I read the books, which also means that I feel disgusted when she acts like a ho :P

More on Heath, Less on Erik, Rant on Loren!
HA! Finished Chosen (:
No additions to the list today, but a nice, healthy dicussion of House of the Night since I nearly had a heart attack reading Chosen.
Remember: I am only on Chosen!! I don't know certain characters... yet, so my opinions are still subject to change (:
First is Heath:
He is still my favorite. I began to really like him because Erik began to get overly jealous and well Loren was never good news in my book. Also, something about Heath is just so sweet. I dunno if that was the Imprint talking through him or what, but he would do anything for Zoey. It's a huge change from being a total stoner etc to sober and awesome. My eyes began to water when their bond was broken. When he cried out to Zoey and she ignored him... I was stunned. All I could think about was Heath and his pain. ):
Second is Erik:
Okay so I guess I don't blame the guy too much. I mean he did catch Zoey screwing Loren, but I mean when he realized there was more to it than he thought there was (like how Neferet is evil) and then he went and got all nasty even after that realization, that cut off anything I really felt for the guy. I mean really, the main reason they broke up was because of Loren and that was because Loren used his persuasiveness to get Zoey to totally give in to him, so it is sooo not totally Zoey's fault (even though she did let it happen). Erik could be a little more sympathetic (and so could her friends for that matter... I mean really, all Zoey had to tell them was that they couldn't know because of Neferet. I mean she didn't want Neferet finding out how much she knew and remembered, so she couldn't tell them everything!! She could have told them about Loren and stuff cuz they may have guided her away, but ugh whatever). Erik is just a cute face and really over jealous. That was a turn off too. I wouldn't mind if they somehow got back together after everything was explained, but I really doubt that will happen unless he realizes how much he actually loves Zoey (if he loves her at all).
Thirdly Loren:
Wow, I don't even know where to begin! I KNEW this guy was bad news from the start!! I am so not someone who likes to take chances, especially risky ones, so that's probably why I wasn't really into him even fromt he beginning when he came off as someone to like. I don't like to break the rules. Then I began to wonder if he was being for real because of the whole Imprint thing. I mean I didn't know what he was up to, but I was beginning to let him have more of a chance because of that. But I didn't totally be okay with it, so the good news is that I couldn't get hurt when he screwed Zoey over! Ugh that pissed me off that he "popped her cherry". I mean really. Your virginity is a big deal... so a complete asshole like that taking it? Talk about so UNspecial. That's something that made me angry over all. I'm sorry to say that he almost deserved to die! I dunno if he deserved to be killed that brutally, but I do think that that guy needed to be taught a lesson.... Just hearing him and Neferet made my skin crawl. Adults can be such freaks sometimes :P Even vampyres.
Well, those are my opinions on those three. I'm now in the process of trying to get to a bookstore to buy Untamed so that I can continue my journey in Zoey Redbird's life. This will get interesting :P
Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again!

Fictional Boyfriend #36
Okay so yeah. Two of you caught me... I really only finished Betrayed a few days ago.
Alright, so I'll tell you what... I'll write about the guys I like from each book of that series that way it makes sense whether or not I like them XD
Today, I am adding Heath. At first, I really didn't like him because of him being drunk and high all the time. Then I read Betrayed and was like wow, I love Heath all of a sudden!! What's that all about!! I guess I like him a lot now because he is the kind of guy I'd be attracted to. Huh. I don't know if that is a good thing or if it's bad :D
I am just starting Chosen now, so my opinions may change.
My opinion on Erik hasn't changed... yet because he was only in Betrayed for a little tiny bit, so yeah. You guys are making me nervous... I don't want him to leave, but it would be better to get him out of the picture since I totally love Heath now :P
Haha
I'll post after I'm done with Chosen (:

Fictional Boyfriend #35
So I finally started the series The House of the Night. Let me just say, those books are AMAZING. I'm guessing that those of you that have already read this series know exactly what boy I'm going to put on here.
Erik Night
He really is amazing. I mean I know he's your average popular boy that is totally hot, etc, but I like how he really is down to earth and really seems to like Zoey. She gets a lot of attention now because she's the leader of the Dark Daughters and is in training to be a High Priestess and has an affirmity for all five elements, but he liked her even before she was the popular girl at school... and she's not popular because she's rich or textbook beautiful (meaning Barbie beautiful) or because she bullies people. No. She's all about justice etc and that's why Erik totally likes her. I dunno what else to say about him. I mean hes like the most perfect thing ever :P... and he's a vampyre, so it makes everything even better!!

Fictional Boyfriend #33 and #34
Hey everyone who reads this! I just wanted to say hi since I haven't posted in a long time, but I have finally finished Eclipse, which I decided to reread and that took my forever!! Then I got to finally start and finish the book Wicked from the Pretty Little Liars series. This is where numbers 33 and 34 come from.
Number 33 is Issac, Emily's boyfriend. Issac is amazing. He has that mysterious quality, but is totally fun loving. I mean he has to be amazing to take lesbian Emily and have her like him! She was all afraid of him not wanting to be her boyfriend anymore because of her past, but he said he was fine with it. I sure hope nothing splits those two apart, but you never know. A is one tough stalker and they are a total jerk. Ugh it is so frustrating reading those books sometimes. Anyways, Issac also sings and will tell Emily songs that are on his mind and they are always meaningful ones in her life. It's really sweet. He's also emo so that's a major plus.
Number 34 is Andrew, Spencer's new love interest!! He's totally awesome. He is really really really smart, but also good looking. He's competitive in academics, but isn't one of those nerds. I could see him getting annoying, but that one con is outweighed by a bunch of pros. I mean, Spencer is under a lot of pressure from everyone because of her stealing her sister's paper and almost getting the Golden Orchard thing or whatever and now they all look down on her because she cheated. Andrew looks passed all those things and actually forgets about them because of how much he likes Spencer. It's very admirable =)
