What literary character have you fallen in love with?


EW asks .. name your favorite TB character and why in the comments!

It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, Shelf Lifers! So in the spirit of the holiday, I thought, why not dedicate a post to those we share a special bond with: The characters in literature that we love?

And I mean love, folks. Not just respect, or admire, but love. Because, really, what avid reader hasn’t fallen for a fictional character at one point in time?

Here’s my confession: While reading East of Eden as a teen, I had a major crush on Caleb Trask, the jealous twin brother of perfect son Aron. (The fact that I went for the one who represents Cain versus the one who’s a stand-in for Abel probably says a lot about me…) And I even came dangerously close to falling for the unlucky-in-love-and-life protagonist of Jonathan Tropper’s This Is Where I Leave You after reading it last year.

So now it’s your turn: Which literary characters have you fallen in love with? And let’s try to stretch our minds beyond Twilight’s Edward Cullen, shall we?

A Dozen Of The Sexiest Werewolves and the best werewolves In Film & TV

They havent seen our Alcide yet ...

If Frankenstein's monster represents man creating life without a woman and Dracula represents sleeping with a stranger, then the werewolf is no doubt the bestiality within man. We all have some form of a dark nature encoded in our genetic make-up, the beast within if you will. Even though Vampires seem to be all the rave nowadays, I was always a greater fan of the werewolf and find them sexier than those pale, angst ridden parasites. I can't really explain it and I'm sure my attraction to aggressive members of the opposite sex has something to do with it, but that's another story.

In celebration of the epic Benicio Del Toro vehicle The Wolfman, which resurrects one of Universal Pictures' classic movie monsters, I took a look at a dozen of the sexiest werewolves in movies and TV. This is not a list about the best werewolf movies ever made, but the werewolves themselves that I found memorable or in simple terms, sexy. The term animal magnetism can have several meanings for the werewolf and sometimes that power can leap right off the screen.

True Blood vs The Vampire Diaries

From Pace Miller's blog - OH NO! but she makes the right choice-;-)

Thanks to Twilight, vampire books and TV series are everywhere now (well, they’ve always been around, but are finally being noticed).

I recently finished watching Season 2 of HBO’s True Blood, and I am up-to-date with Season 1 of CW’s The Vampire Diaries (13 eps). So which is better?

It’s hard to compare the two, despite their obvious similarities (ie vampires, small town, pretty young girl torn between two vampires (a good and a bad one), younger brother, black girl as best friend, etc). True Blood is hard core – blood and guts, f-bombs galore and uncensored nudity and sex. The Vampire Diaries, constrained by network requirements, is much more sanitised, but I have a feeling they are doing what they can to ‘push the boundaries’, so to speak.

True Blood Valentines from Andy Swist

From the wonderful Andy Swist

I thought it would be appropriate to make some fun Valentines Day e-cards with some of my paper doll art for folks to use. Sorry there's only a select few characters at the moment. I'll try to add some more, but no promises! Just click on the card you want to open a larger version and drag it to your desktop, or right click on the image and "save as" to your computer.
