Boys in books are just better. Right? Well, let’s put them to the test.

Welcome to My Book Boyfriend. A new weekly meme, hosted by me, in which we swoon over boys in books!

Here is how My Book Boyfriend works:

  1. On Wednesdays, make a post about a fictional boy that totally made you swoon! In your post, make sure you include your book boyfriend’s stats, a picture of what you imagine he looks like and some quotes from him that had you at hello. Credit the book and please include page numbers when you can.
  2. Grab the My Book Boyfriend button to include in your post.
  3. Be sure to come back here and add the DIRECT link to your post on the Mr. Linky Widget that will be provided here on Wednesdays. 
  4. Don’t forget to check out other people’s My Book Boyfriend posts. Everyone that agrees to participate will try to visit others and leave comments. Bloggers love comments.
  5. Anyone is welcome to join at anytime, but no one is obligated to participate every week.
  6. In your post provide a link back to this My Book Boyfriend introduction post so that other people can find the information about participating.

This meme is just for fun! Likeness represented are all fictional fantasies.

Now go get your post ready for Wednesday. I’m totally looking forward to showing off my book boyfriend. Are you? Go on, earn your bragging rights. ;)

Ahhhhh! Greatest. Meme. Ever! You are brilliant and completely my new hero. Not that you weren't before, but it's just enhanced more now that you've come up with this meme. I'll have to think about who my book boyfriend should be for next week (I have a review I have to post tomorrow), can't wait to participate!

Missie you are the best! Love this idea and I am so doing it tomorrow. Can't wait to see who you pick and hope we don't end up picking the same guy. Don't want to fight with you over fictional crushes ;)

This sounds literally awesome. My first thought was that there might not be enough literary hotties to go around. Then I laughed out loud at myself.
Looking forward to participating and seeing everyone else's choices; have fun deciding :)

I would like to start doing this if I could. I have a miscellaneous (randomness) blog at WordPress. I'm just wondering if this can include characters that have already been portrayed onto film?
Thanks!

Yes, of course you can include book characters that have already been portrayed on film. :)

Signing up, though I'm so having issues over “pictures”…
Also, define “boys”. Up to what age are we talking about?

Reply

by Missie, The Unread Reader on April 3, 2012

@enochia, Gentleman callers of any age are welcome! And no pictures are necessary. :)
