Some of my crushes are romantic and some are "too hot to handle" but those Weasley twins are just plain fun and cute!

I love Laurie as well... I loved the movie adaptation with Christian Bale too.

** Layne (Can't think of his last name! -sadface-) Black Dust Mambo and the Hoodoo series, Adrian Phoenix.

** Jace Wayland/Lightwood/Herondale (Who knows what name he decided to keep in the end? :D) from City of Bones and the rest of The Mortal Instrument series, Cassandra Clare.

** Fitzwilliam Darcy, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen.

** John Thornton, North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell.

I forgot to mention Westley from The Princess Bride....I love that scene when you expect a kiss and they practically throw themselves onto one another... 'As you wish...', sighhh...I love that name; Westley haha...

I have quite a few but the ones that pop into my head right now are Wes from and Guy from

I have a HUGE crush on Jace from the Mortal Instruments series, but I can't forget Ian from The Host and Brigan from Fire.

I have to add V from Lover Unbound. I'm only halfway through the book, but he already has me sucked in.

hi all...need some inspiration? I've posted some photography on my blog and I hope it inspires you too :)

Seconded with great enthusiasm:

-Jace Wayland from the Mortal Instruments. I can't help it; his sarcasm is irresistible :)

-Damon from the Vampire Diaries: ditto.
Although this is probably equally due to the TV series, since Ian Somerhalder is without doubt the most handsome man I've ever seen...

-Brigan from Fire :)

Others worthy of mention/copious amounts of daydreaming:

-Adam from the Mercy Thompson books

-Raven from The Raging Quiet


Ahh, a work break well spent! :D

1)Marcus Flutie

2)Dimitri

3)(Insert BDB brother here)

4)Clay Danvers

5)Marcus Flutie (he deserves at least two postings)

6)Valek

7)Jace

8)Barrons

9)Jack

10)Sebastian

There is so many more but well that will do for now!

Hahaha! Marcus deserves a second spot? I guess I need to finish the series cause he hasn't really caught my fancy yet. I don't usually go for red hair or guys who don't talk to you for months on end.

Oh Marcus Flutie deserves two spots - he is damn sexy. I am so not into red heads normally but I don't really see him with red red hair - more rust colored. Anyways he is just yummy and if he were a real person I would totally stalk him.

Oh lord, okay this is pretty much in order...

Jamie Fraser from Outlander
*If you have not read this series, I am on my knees begging. He is the epitome of my perfect man.

Ranger from Stephanie Plum
Eric Northman from Sookie Stackhouse
Ron Weasley from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and on.
Jacob from Twilight
Fang from Maximum Ride Boxed Set No 1
Sam from Shiver

I think I'll probably have more that I can't think of now...

See! I forgot Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables

I would so help you stalk him Jaimie! There's just something about a bad boy turned good that works for me...

I can't remember all of mine, but here is a start:

1. Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables
2. Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice
3. Po from Graceling
4. Peeta from The Hunger Games
5. Marcus Flutie from Sloppy Firsts
6. Dave the Laugh from Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
7. Rudy & Max from The Book Thief

The results are in!

Surprisingly Jace Wayland from City of Bones-The Mortal Instruments series- stole the top spot with the most posts from you all...step aside Edward Cullen! There seems to be a new (bad) boy in town!

See who made runner up and what spot Edward Cullen finished at...

Is it my imagination or do we have two threads running with this similar theme????

It's not your imagination. I actually copy/pasted my original email from one thread to the other.

I never tire of talking about my fictional crushes, lol.

Rang..."

Outlander has been on my to-read list for quite some time now but somehow I found myself reluctant to actually start reading it. But since your're begging... ;-)

I am Begging!!! It's a book/series that I can read over and over and every time I love the characters (Jamie) even more.

That sounds really good! I'll move it to the top of my to-read list.

I get so excited when someone reads it, haha. You'll have to email me your thoughts.

I know what you mean!
Will do! :-)

I am so with the Marcus Flutie group.

Roiben in Tithe.

Also, I'm not done with the book yet but so far I've got a little thing going for Mark from Guardian of the Dead.

I am now adding Finnikin from to my list!

Isn't he awesome??

I love love love Roiben so I'm right there with you Sam.

And as for Marcus, the more I think about "Firsts" the more I like him, but I lost the flavor after "Thirds"... but I like him to a point.

Okay, it's offical. I must add Peeta from The Hunger Games to my list.

Just finished and my heart broke for him.

Jamie from
Hawk from
Barrons from
Mr.Darcy from
I really like the tough manly men! They are so Dreamy lol:-D

Absolutely on Jamie!

Right now, I'm really liking Daniel from Fallen.
