Today’s topic may or may not reveal certain truths about me that I’m not ready to face. Luckily for me and my pride, today we’re only talking about my fictional crushes from books! Any further than that and this post becomes a whole new monster entirely. Top 10 Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs
Let’s just get the ults out of the way first. Yes, I am well-known William Herondale trash and I also love Jem Carstairs with my whole heart and soul. Y’all are lucky I haven’t read The Last Hours yet or else I have a sneaking suspicion a certain James character would have snuck his way onto the list as well.

Selwyn Kane
This year has been the year of Selwyn Kane and I’m not even that ashamed. I mean, he’s snarky and rude but always so very sweet and vulnerable underneath his arrogant facade. I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’d probably marry him.
Nikolai Lantsov and Kaz Brekker
…okay. Nikolai is absolutely hilarious and no one can deny that! I can’t help it! But Kaz. Yes, I mean, he’s greedy and a murderer and quite scary. He’s also protective and loyal and he just needs love okay asdfghjkl.

Percy Jackson
Obviously, I wouldn’t tear him apart from Annabeth. But Percy was honestly my first bookish crush. He’s sweet, loyal, hilarious, blah blah blah. He’s Percy Jackson. There are no explanations needed.

Richard Gansey III
Gosh, this is so incredibly embarrassing. What kind of person falls in love with Richard Gansey III? Besides me. And Blue. Hey, maybe that’s why I got Blue in that personality quiz I took that one time. I love him and his passion.

Maxon Schreave
Read Maxon’s quotes and weep, you cowards. His main personality trait was being romantic and I mean what else do you need when you melt hearts faster than a hot car melts chocolate.

Captain Carswell Thorne
ALL I WANT TO DO IS REREAD THE LUNAR CHRONICLES NOW. Gosh dang. Captain Carswell Thorne is the bookish Flynn Ryder and that’s all you need to know.

Jacks
Jacks is…a sort of spoilery character but just uh don’t judge me. It’s not my fault he’s basically royalty in the heart department.
That’s it! Thank goodness we didn’t go farther than books or else that’d be a big rip for me and my typing abilities. Tell me what one of your fictional crushes are!

Eek Will and Jem! Still can’t decide between those two, so I guess its just both 😅 Haha I hate to admit it, but I absolutely love Gansey too! Which is embarrassing since I took that quiz and got Ronan 🙃

I do love a good book crush!! I will also consider this post a reminder to read the infernal devices and legendborn. Both are on my shelf so I have no excuse really. Nikolai really is the basic book boyfriend that you kinda fall in love with immediately. 🤣

Oh gosh I’d completely forgotten about Maxon. I loved him in the first book but the love triangle ruined it, and I felt that his character changed a lot in the third book.
