This week’s musing asks…
Do you ever get crushes on fictional characters? Name one (or a few), and tell what you liked…
My answer: Sure I do! LOL. It’s silly, but I think it’s part of the fun of reading. 😉
Fictional crushes for me have included “Stark” from the House of Night Series (Zoë’s warrior). He is an example of strength and dependability, so I think that’s what the draw is for me there. And, then there’s Damon from Gaelen Foley’s “Knight” miscellany. He’s one of the Knight brothers, and I think my draw comes from him being a bad boy… but not the baddest of the bunch, either. An English “rogue”, but still sweet underneath.
Others include Jake Russo from “Fireworks Over Toccoa” by Jeffrey Stepakoff (Jake was passionate and treated Lily well), Dex Thaler from “Something Borrowed” by Emily Giffin (he’s charming), and Damon Salvatore from “The Vampire Diaries” by L. J. Smith (there’s that bad boy thing, again! LOL).
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! 😀
Its been a while since I read the house of night series but I remember Stark and I loved his character 🙂 great pick! Also who doesnt love some Damon Salvator lol.

I love The Vampire Diaries show on TV, but I haven’t read any of the books yet. But I like Damon, too on the show, which I probably will in the book as well, lol. Here is my Musing.

Yes crushing on fictional characters makes reading fun, I think it does any book justice when we are able to be sucked in and become part of the characters world.

Good lord, all the time! I have a huge crush on Harry Dresden from the Dresden Files, and I was falling hard for Judas Coyne in Heart Shaped Box. I’ve always had a thing for Hawk from the Spencer mystery series. I could list more, but it would get embarrassing!
