Top Ten Tuesday (TTT) brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish.

October 3: Top Ten Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends (Which characters do you have crushes on?)

This week’s TTT gives us all permission to fangirl (or fanboy) out with our top ten fictional boyfriends (or girlfriends)! I thought about trying to take this topic more seriously: what makes a good boyfriend, who should not be boyfriend material, etc. But I am a total fangirl at heart, so this post is just going to be a fun look at characters I love. Some of them are really terrible boyfriends. (Vampires in particular seem to be bad boyfriend material.)

TTT: Bookish Boyfriends

I’m realizing as I pull this list together way more TV/Movie boyfriends come to mind than bookish boyfriends. I’ll find a way to incorporate a few of them into this list somehow. 😉

Sweet Bookish Boyfriends

These guys would do anything for their gals.

• Park Sheridan – Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
• Carswell Thorne – The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer

Vampire Bookish Boyfriends

What can I say? I like vampires.

• Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch (Baz) – Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
• Matthew Clairmont – All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
• Edward Cullen – Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer

Mysterious Bookish Boyfriends

These two are always showing up unexpectedly and with an air of mystery about them.

• Darcy O’Mara – Her Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen
• Kiernan Dunne – The Chronos Files series by Rysa Walker

Made-for-TV Bookish Boyfriends

These three boyfriends are even better off the page.

• Sherlock Holmes – Sherlock
• Logan Echolls – Veronica Mars
• Ezra Fitz – Pretty Little Liars

How did you approach this fun topic this week? Did any of my guys make your list? Who should I add that I missed? As always, sound off below and link up to your own TTT if you’ve got one!
