Top 10 Book Boyfriends in 2011

Wooo just this one and then I’m all caught up! This one is going to be difficult.

1. Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris

There will never be a year when a Sookie Stackhouse novel releases that Eric wouldn’t make this list. I don’t care what kind of stupid things he does.

2. Shane Collins from the Morganville Vampire novels by Rachel Caine

Okay, so I have about three books to catch up on in this series, but I. Love. Shane.

3. Sean Griswold from Sean Griswold’s Head by Lindsey Leavitt

Totally crush-worthy.

4. Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter novels by JK Rowling

I don’t care. He will always make my list. Always.

5. Puck from the Iron Fey novels by Julie Kagawa

I like how he’s mischievous. 

Drawing (which is awesome) from Deviantart

6. Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games novels by Suzanne Collins

Okay, so this isn’t technically 2011, but I DON’T CARE. Finnick is too good to not be on this list. What a babe.

7. Will from the Ghost and the Goth novels by Stacey Kade

Love him!

8. Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter novles by JK Rowling

Since the movie came out in 2011, he counts...right?

9. Thomas from the Maze Runner novels by James Dashner

He always tries to do the right thing. <3

10. Ben from the Elixir novels by Hilary Duff

I know. But, he’s totally swoon-worthy! 

Tomorrow is Top 10 Characters in 2011--tough decisions there!

Who were your book boyfriends from 2011? Did we share any?

In My Mailbox (3)

Wow, I am doing a lot better with these In My Mailbox’s than I anticipated! This is my third one in as many weeks. You all know the deal by now, In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren and showcases the books bloggers have gotten by any means this week. 

Won/Received/I have no idea?:

The Illustrated Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I am not entirely sure where this one came from, but I think it might be from the Got Books? event? If you sent this to me, let me know so I can give you proper thanks!

Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek audiobook by Olivia Munn. Won from MacMillan Audio. Thanks--this looks really funny!

Returned to Me:

The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine. I had sent these out to my friend to read and she returned them to me. She loves Shane just as much as I do--there may be some drool marks left over on the pages from her. ;)

Bought:

Social Meanings of News by Dan Berkowitz. This is for one of my courses in school---I think it’s for Sociology of News and Media Ethics... we shall see how it is.

InDesign CS4: Visual Quickstart Guide by Sandee Cohen and Photoshop CS4: Visual Quickstart Guide by Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas. These are both for my Desktop Publishing class which I am actually really excited about. Lots of magazine layout design, etc. 

Question time...

For IMM’s, do you prefer this kind of format or should I give video-blogging a try? Which is more entertaining? If you could let me know in the comments as well as what was in your mailbox this week, that would be amazing!
