(Top 10 of 2013) Top Ten Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends/BFFs/Other

Top 10 of 2013 is hosted by Two Chicks on Books, Fiktshun, and Magical Urban Fantasy Reads.

I'm a proud, self-proclaimed fangirl and I fall in love with characters easily. This means I often have MANY book boyfrans and girlfrans. But, there also characters that I fall in love with in, in a less romantic "OMG I want their face on my face" way and more of a "I want to be their BFF" way. AND then there are characters that I just connect with and who stay with me long after their story ends...this list is made up of all of these kinds of characters...

My Top Ten Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends/BFFs/Other

1. and 2.

from Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Oh how I love these two characters! I love them as individuals, I adore them as a couple! These are probably my two favorite book characters of 2013.

3.

from The Archived by Victoria Schwab

There's something so genuine and swoony about Wesley! Definitely boyfran material!

4. and 5.

from Crest (Ondine Quartet #3) by Emma Raveling

This is another pair that I love and adore both as individuals and as a couple...a steamy, intense, awesomely infuriating couple!

6.

from Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn

I'm not sure Win/Drew is my type romantically, but I did connect so much to this complex boy and I would love to be his friend!

7.

from Blue Moon (Dead City #2) by James Ponti

I want to be Molly's BFF and hunt zombies with her! This girl is smart, funny, and kicks serious butt!

8.

from Through the Ever Night (UtNS) by Veronica Rossi

Oh Roar! Sweet, funny, swoon-worthy, Roar, I LOVE you so! Roar is most definitely boyfriend material and I would love to marry him and have his little Roaries *sigh*

The final two selections consists of two characters each, but I'm counting each one as one because they're inseparable pairs...

9.

from Soul Catcher (The Soulkeepers #4) by G.P. Ching

I rooted so hard for this pair and love what this relationship as done for Dane! I wanna be their bestest BFF!

10.

from Imperfect Spiral by Debbie Levy

Danielle and Humphrey were in no way romantic, they were like big sis and little bro, and their sweet, poignant relationship moved me in a big way. I'd love be the third member of this quirky, touching duo and be BFFs for life!

Those are my Top 10 Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends/BFFs/Others!

What are yours?!

Best Book Boyfriends & Girlfriends

I couldn't limit the list to just my fave guys, so I included my fave gals too!

Tiger Lily
from Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Tiger Lily is given such a fierce loveliness in this book that I couldn't help but be completely captivated by her. I found myself drawn to her much more than Peter Pan or that Wendy Bird.

Aiden St. Delphi from Deity (Covenant Series #3) by Jennifer Armentrout

I've been on Team Aiden since day one and I just loved him in Deity. He's such a swoon-worthy hottie *flails*

Yukiko from Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff

There's nothing hotter than a badass chick who kicks serious butt, slays demons, knows how to wield a weapon, and is witty to boot! 

Tristan Belicoux from Billow by Emma Raveling

I love both of the main male characters in this series (and both made this list), but I think I love Tristan just a bit more than his competition Julian. Tristan is just so sexy-sweet and honorable. He's the epitome of the knight in shining armor.

Anna Korlov from Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

Since book one I have been completely enamored with this lovely ghost girl. There's something just so spellbindingly and heartachingly beautiful about her. If I were into dating ghosts, I'd totally choose her! 

Julian LeVeq from Billow by Emma Raveling

I talked about how sexy-sweet Tristan is above, and now I'm going to talk about how frustratingly sexy-snarky Julian is. Since book one, I wanted to not like him and just be totally Team Tristan, but I can't help but love Julian too. 

Zuzana from Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor

Zuzana really shines in this sequel to Daughter of Smoke & Bone! This feisty fairy-esque girl is full of spunk, spark, and sass and I have such a crush on her.

Burru from Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff

*le sigh*. If it's wrong to have a crush on a mythical thunder tiger/griffin then I don't wanna be right (don't judge me!). There's something so irresistibly captivating and eloquently powerful about this Buruu.

Katy from Onyx and Opal by Jennifer Armentrout

My crush on Katy has surpassed the fangirl level! She continues to be one of the best developed and written YA heroines in existence. Her strength, determination, courage and strong-will never waver. I love that she isn’t defined by her love interest and can easily stand alone as a fascinating, layered and complete character without Daemon (not that I don’t lurve them as a pair). And the acerbic and quick wit Armentrout has blessed her with continues to bake my cupcakes!

A from Every Day by David Levithan

Even with no specific gender, race or physical body of their own, A is still such a complex and layered character. I haven't felt so attached and invested in a character this much in a long time.  I was so blown away by and moved by this character, by the end of the book I felt like A was a part of me.

Who are your book boyfriends and/or girlfriends of 2012?!
