The best thing about the holidays (apart from the food. And the alcohol. And the sleep-ins. And the old movies on TV. And feeling very proud of myself for surviving the relatives having neither produced nor caused any tears, scowls or raised blood pressure) is having the time to reduce the height of Mount To-Be-Read.

So I just finished Veronica Roth's Divergent several months after everyone else and am totally sweet on Four. *sigh* Yes, I am that easily malleable.

Even after all these years, Michael Olson from Christopher Pike's Final Friends trilogy still makes my heart flutter.

It's tough to choose between Cricket and St. Claire from the Stephanie Perkins books, but I feel like there's no losing in that battle, so it doesn't really matter.

I totally LOVE Four and what a badass he is. Reading about his manpain makes me want to cuddle him and tell him everything will be alright.

Two words: Nathaniel Eaton.

Who is he, you might ask? Well, he just happened to be Kit Tyler's love interest in one of my favorite YA novels, The Witch of Blackbird Pond. He was a sea captain's son, and risked his life to save an old lady who was branded as a witch. He also loved Kit for who she was, which was quite impressive since the story takes place in Puritan times. Totally hot, IMHO.

Melrose Plant, from Martha Grimes Richard Jury series. Bottle green eyes and a lordship he declines. Though not the accompanying fortune.

Most of mine come from YA books. I remember having a big crush on both Jim and Fred from the Sally Lockhart books. I also thought considering his dad, Jem Finch might have grown up nicely. (I always hoped Atticus and Miss Maudie had a secret affair) Gilbert Blythe from the Anne of Green Gables books was another.

I also have a soft spot for Erast Fandorin, at least from the few books of that series I have read, and Captain Wentworth, mainly because of the letter. Maxilien Morel( count of monte cristo's buddy), and the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Such a long list. Amy from "The Haunting of Hillcrest." (I was 12?) Vicky Bliss in Elizabeth Peters' work. Kim Murray in "Coronets and Steel" although she is almost the same character as Vicky Bliss. Polly O'Keefe in L'Engle's "An Acceptible Time."

Oh, Nathaniel Eaton! He and Kit were one of my first literary ships.

I'll also agree with Henry Tilney. And Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gilbert Blythe, Carrot from Discworld, and Sirius Black.

Hmmm . . . well I think Stephanie should choose Morelli, but I know that I'd probably go with Ranger.

Going back to childhood days, though--Gilbert Blythe and Philip Hall

Oh yes.

For me, there's Faramir from LOTR, Jingle Gordon from Pat of Silver Bush, Taran from Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, Caspian from the Chronicles of Narnia, and Nicholas from Nicholas Nickleby.

Oh wow, I had forgotten about my crush on Nathaniel Eaton. In eighth grade we had to read The Witch of Blackbird Pond aloud in class. The teacher, who was not the brightest bulb, would sometimes read aloud, too, and she kept mispronouncing words. "Turret" was "TOUR-et" (like Tourette's Syndrome), "damask" was "DA-mask," and "famished" was "FUH-mished." This made my inner Lisa Simpson twitch. Instead of bursting into nerdy rage, I would sit quietly and fantasize about Nathaniel and Kit and their eternal love. If the internet had existed, I'm sure I would have been writing fan fiction. Or designing a Geocities page with puffy pink heart mouse trails.

Let's see: there was also Gilbert Blythe, of course. And Laurie from Little Women. Though when I've reread it as an adult, I've kind of developed feelings for the Professor. I mean, I'm still angry at Jo for not accepting Laurie, and this certainly doesn't let Amy off the hook, the little man-stealer. But...Friedrich does have a certain appeal. I blame Gabriel Byrne.

Also, Mr. Rochester, now and forever. I know, I know. I need Anne Bronte to slap some sense into me. Though I love I do love Gilbert Markham, too!

Oooh, I almost forgot George Emerson. Sigh.

Since I'm re-reading The Hunger Games series in anticipation of the movie, I'm nursing a pretty serious crush on Peeta. He's considerate! He's sarcastic! He's devoted!

I always thought Cap Garland from the Little House books would be a pretty cool boyfriend for preteen me.

Ugh, I love how dedicated he is to Katniss, and he's so thoughtful and considerated of her feelings and needs even under the harshest conditions and in the scariest of situations. Hearts in my eyes for that kid.

Total, absolute love and adoration for Peeta. When I started The Hunger Games, I had to go on Wikipedia and look up his fate. The outcome of the triangle was secondary, I just HAD to know if he lived or died so I could prepare myself properly. It's the only time I've ever intentionally spoiled myself for a book series.

Cap Garland was pretty cool. I've been doing my winter break reading and have rediscovered Calvin O'Keefe from Madeleine L'Engle's books. I also second the mention of Faramir, the only character who seemed to show good sense when confronted with evil.

I've been rereading the Percy Jackson series and there's so much to love about him. In The Son of Neptune, he
Spoiler:
How often has a hero taken time out of a quest to do that?

I loved Peeta, too! I like his ability to make beautiful cupcakes. It's a small thing but one that I'd really appreciate in real life.

So I'm the first to fess up to Troy Tatteron, Heaven's uncle-lover owner of romantic cottages, tiny toy maker, poetry writer, white shirt wearing, *long fingered* player of, um, pianos?

Okay then.

How could I forget Almanzo Wilder? He was pretty hot in real life, too.
