Top ten Picks is a weekly meme where you pick your top ten, and this week it was crush time and I had to do it. My first time, and it looks to be a fun meme.
It is hosted by Random Ramblings
10. Logain Ablar
Ok, my second Wheel of time (Robert Jordan) character. He is the fake dragon reborn, and is imprisoned and without powers for some time. A sad character than can't do much. But then suddenly in book 7 or something I started to like him. I seem to crush hard on that series.
9.Fitzwilliam Darcy
Come on, do I need to say more.
8. Pug
Back to fantasy, and Raymond E.Feist (Magician is the best book ever written!). Pug the little boy who grows up to me a master magician.
“That you have lived as you have lived for centuries is no license for this cruelty. All here are now judged and all are found wanting.”
He is just so sweet, and totally kick-ass too if he wants to.
7. Zsadist
This is cos of his badboy attitude, and cos of his tortured soul than just needs fixing and loving.
6. Clay
I need my werewolf fix, and Kelley Armstrong has created one good were. Not to mention he is rather psychotic too and has this altar of Elena.
5. Captain Wentoworth
"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. "
This breaks me every time.
4.Mr Thornton
Yes I confess, he is only here thanks to Richard Armitage as him in North and South. He is this Darcy like character.
3. Haplo
This unlikely hero from the death gate cycle by Margaret Weis is sent as a spy to 4 worlds, but he is starting to like the elves, dwarves and humans. And how he is with his dog (heartbreaking), what can I say, the dark anti-heroes that slowly turn around are a sure fave.
2. Fitz
The bastard son of a prince. He was trained as an assassin, and as in most Robin Hobb books he was tormented, tortured by others and suffered a great deal. I just want to hug him to pieces every time I read these books.
1. Rand al`Thor
The Dragon Reborn, he who will save mankind and doom them all. I also have a crush on Lews Therin, the man he was in another life, and the man who now lives on in his head. Oh Rand keeps going crazy, and I am a sucker for fantasy heroes.



















D'oh! How could I skip Roarke? Or Ranger?!?
ReplyDeleteHarry Dresden and Acheron would be my top two picks. :)
ReplyDeleteHi B!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics, some I've never heard of and I love fantasy. I need to get on the stick and read more.
Thanks for sharing!
((hugs))
Dottie :)
Oh Chris, Chris! How oculd you forget Roarke!
ReplyDelete...Psst, anyone, who is Roarke?
Dottie
Honstly, I am more or less always crushing on every fantasy hero there is :=)
And these ones are some of my fave series.
Roarke.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a crush on Roarke now too, Irish, showering her with gifts *crush*
ReplyDeleteLiterary Pics eh? Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Nicholai Hel, certainly Acheron is right up there, Vic Savian and probably Shane Dominic, and definitely Eidolon...
Great meme and post B - I love yours. ;)
First, thanks for the North & South reminder - I have it on dvd but haven't watched it yet! I agree with Darcy. I'm also a Ranger fan. Huge fan of Jack Sheridan from Robyn Carr's Virgin River series. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun meme. I don't know if I could come up with a neat list of 10 picks. I'm impressed by yours :D
ReplyDeleteRoarke...*drools*
ReplyDeleteNice selection hon. But where is Curran? Just kidding.
Ohh i love this post! What a great idea. I have to admit that I don't know all the heroes you named, but quite a few would be on my list.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see Fitz on this list. Of course Jane Austen's heroes are always very lovable!
I think I would add:
Harry Dresden (Jim Butcher)
Trent Kalamak (kim Harrison)
Barrons (K.M Moning)
Actually I named my Ereader Trent Clayton Barrons LOL so you can see who I crush on =P
Clay is one of my favorite hero ever.
Not sure if I have any - I like Harry Bosch from the Michael Connelly series and Ireally like a whole lot of the fantasy baddies...
ReplyDeleteLove your list - have you notice the extra ordinary amount of assasin in fantasy books..
I'm surprise anyone is even still alive to tell the tale..
e:)
I don't know most of these guys. I need to catch up! Thanks for the hunky post!
ReplyDeleteLove your crushes especially Mr. Darcy and Fitz!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG...now I know I'm behind on my reading! They all sound too good to pass up.
ReplyDeleteWHY...WHY do you girls keep doing this to me when I should be writing!???
LOL
Hawk
Lea,
ReplyDeleteMm, what little I read bout Acheron I do get why he is up there.
It was a fun meme for sure
mary
Oh you have to go straight to the DVD player and pop it on now. It is a wonderful series.
Janna
It was hard, cos I honestly crush ALL the time ;) But these are some big crushes.
Susi
Alas, I have not read about Curran yet, it saddens me
Pattepoilue,
ReplyDeleteFitz, well it is not as much a crush as a need to hug him tightly, and then hug him again.
Austen heroes, mmmmmmmm
Lol, that it one mighty name for an e-reader ;)
Those adds are all new to me, crush alert then coming up.
EH
Lol, there are sure a great deal of assassins, they are lurking in every corner, and thieves too. So your life and possessions would sure be gone fast there.
And then there are the sheep herders, and farm boys, destined for greatness.
I love fantasy! haha
Alyssa
You're welcome ;) need to spread some mancandy around too once in a while
Staci
Awww Fitz, my heart breaks every time
Hawk
Lol, we do it on purpose ;) Nah just kiddin', but a break is sure needed now and then
What a great meme and what great answers!
ReplyDeleteMr. Thornton is QUITE high on my list of literary crushes, too! So dreamy :-)
ReplyDeleteYvonne

Great idea for a list!! I have soooo many literary crushes :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
ReplyDeleteLol, yes my list could have been sooooooo much longer
Great list with a couple books I should take a look at.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, nice! I agree with most. I'll have to read your books, as I haven't read any of them.

Big sigh, ack Wentworth and Darcy, they break my heart
I have not heard of some of these fellows. I'll have to check out their stories. Armitage, Wentworth, and Darcy oh my!
ReplyDeleteThose you have not heard of are in good company here ;)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get to know Zsadist more. I am currently reading the 2nd book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but am so excited to! Glad to have you join us for the week of literary crushes! :)
ReplyDeleteI heart Captain Wentworth =D A lot of your crushes are unknown to me, but perhaps one day the will be on my list to, who knows :)
ReplyDeleteJillian
