Fictional Boyfriend #45

Alrighty, it's been awhile since I've posted and I apologize for that. I only had time to update my book recommendation and now I'm going to talk about the boy from there (:.

About Tamaki from Phantom Dream:

Tamaki is awesome. Haha I know I say that about most of the guys on here, but I mean there's no other way for me to describe them!! He's what is called a Shugoshi. He's also the only one left in the family, so basically the only existing one, which is actually pretty bad. He is the only one avaliable to exorcise demons out of tortured human souls, called Jaki.

He has a girlfriend named Asahi. The tragic part about their love is that Tamaki is pledged to another woman basically cuz he has to marry a woman with power in order to reproduce and have more Shugoshi. I hate that she isn't powerful, at least I don't know if she is yet. I've only read two volumes of it and am still searching for more. It's really cute though. Asahi knows that she won't be able to be with Tamaki forever; she knows that he has to marry someone else so that he can have kids that are passed the gene.

The weird thing about Tamaki is that he's actually his grandfather's kid. He was always told that his mother's husband was his father. But his supposed "dad" was too weak to carry the Shugoshi gene that his own father would have passed down from him. So the guy that Tamaki always known as his grandfather was actually his dad. Tamaki's mom was actually a jaki, so he has both jaki and shugoshi blood in him, causing him to be very dangerous both physically and mentally. He could go insane at any moment. The only thing that really keeps him sane is Asahi. She's amazing and I sort of want to be just like her since she is so admirable.

That was about Tamaki from Phantom Dream (: I recommend it to anyone and everyone :D. It's by Natsuki Takaya, one of my most favorite authors. She's the most amazing cuz she thinks up all these great characters and stories.

Fictional Boyfriend #44

I just finished Being Nikki today and am still totally into Meg Cabot's writing. She is SO talented!! Anyways, today's boyfriend comes from that book. His name is Christopher. In Airhead, he made me so mad, even though I liked him. He was being so hard-headed towards everything. But then in Being Nikki, everything changed. When he found out that Nikki was really Emerson, I was so excited. It was amazing. Then stupid Brandon messed everything out.

The good news is that Meg Cabot will make sure everything ends smoothly. I just wish that the end of Being Nikki wasn't such a cliff-hanger.

Sorry for making this post so short... I have summer homework that I should be doing :P.

Fictional Boyfriend #43

I really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith and decided to give her other series Night World a chance... Night World isn't really a series that you would think. Ya know how usually in series it's just a continuation of the book before? Well basically each book is made up of three stories that have to do with creatures who broke the rules of Night World, but the characters in each story are different. They may be mentioned in one of the other stories, but otherwise it is not a continuation. Hmmm I wonder if that is a good enough explanation :/.

Anyways, I decided to pick a guy from Night World: Secret Vampire named James. He befriended Poppy when they were in like Kindergarten and were best friends ever since. He always made it clear to Poppy though that they were just friends. When they got into their teens, James started dating girls and would normally have like seven girlfriends a year or something to that ridiculous amount. Meanwhile, Poppy would sit on the sidelines, jealous of each girl that got the chance to go out with him, but also falling deeper and deeper in love with him with each passing day.

During the summer between Junior and Senior year at high school, Poppy is diagnosed with terminal cancer and is pretty much awaiting her death. James then decides to show Poppy his true feelings for her as well as show her a way to escape death.

James is a vampire if you haven't already figured it out. He had that many girlfriends so that he could feed off of them until he felt a weak bond forming with them. Then he would break up with them. He used compulsion to make them forget that he even fed off of them in the first place. He never went out with Poppy because he didn't want her to be used like that. He just loved her too much. It was actually rather romantic.

Thankfully, Poppy gets changed into a vampire by the exchanging of blood. It's all rather facisnating. Now off to read more of that book so I can add more characters to this list :D

Fictional Boyfriend #42

Alright, so I am a fan of Melissa Kantor's writing. I enjoyed The Breakup Bible and If I Have A Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince?. I read her new book, Girlfriend Material, and absolutely loved it! Before I talk about Adam, the boyfriend of the day, I just want to say a few things about the book.

First of all, I was really happy how Kantor talked about Ernest Hemingway's writing. I wasn't a fan of Old Man and the Sea, but I have done a report on him and know his life etc and know what influenced which piece of writing. So that was an interesting parallel...

Anyways!! Adam is my pick for today. He isn't all that amazing, let me tell you :P The whole break thing he took with his girlfriend and didn't tell Kate about it at all? That was messed up. But I mean if you just consider how great he is withouth that little factor, it all adds up. It was pretty cool how he went all the way to New Hampshire, I think that's where his girlfriend was, but anyways I liked how he wanted to fix it with Kate, so he went all the way there to break up with his girlfriend because he thought it too cold over phone. That part was awesome! So many guys would love to take the easy way out, as would girls to be perfectly honest. I decided that I really liked him after that. It shows how gentlemanly he is and really how much he cares about things.

The only catch? Unless Kate and her mom move to the east coast, which was a chance, Kate and Adam will have a difficult time seeing each other, with Kate living in Utah and all. Oh well, it made a nice story. Haha until next time...

P.S.~ I finsihed Fragile Eternity and I don't know what to make of it... I mean I know that there are more books to come, but I'm scared to figure this all out. I kinda like Keenan and Aislinn together for some reason even though he is kind of a jerk... I don't like it when Keenan and Donia get all lovey dovey... I feel like he is cheating on Aislinn, even though he is not. And the whole mother thing between Sorcha and Seth? A tad bit disturbing...

Fictional Boyfriend #41

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
