1. Most romantic boyfriend

Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars. Because a) he says things like "It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you" and b) because he used his last wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet her idol!! If that's not romantic I don't know what is.

2. Dark and moody bad boy with a good side

I'm going to have to go with Ash from The Iron Fey series. He's got this bad boy charm that had me swoony from the moment he showed up. But he's also moody and really closed off, but when he does show his emotions it's really deep and well swoon worthy!

3. Paranormal boyfriend

Cole st Clair from the Shiver Series and Sinner. He's a werewolf. That's pretty supernatural to me. I love Cole, I even wrote him a letter after I finished Sinner. He's amazing, he's musically talented, sweet, romantic.

4. Boyfriend you want to tame

Adrian Ivashkov from the Vampire Academy series. He's got a bad boy edge and I honestly almost picked him for number two, but I feel like he fits better under this category because his "bad boy" traits can be harmful to himself you know? I feel like I could get him to take care of himself better and just be not so self destructive.

5. Boy you friend zoned

Oliver Hazard Perry from the Blue Bloods Series. I'm soo sorry Oliver, I love you, I love you like Schuyler loves you, as a friend.

6. Your soul mate

Will Herondale from the Infernal Devices. For my birthday my friend drew me a picture of me in a library and Will. Will is just everything you know? He's sweet and funny and witty, and cute, and romantic, and has a bad boy edge but has an amazing heart. So there you have it folks I fell in love with a Shadowhunter.

7. Boyfriend you want to elope with

Kishan from The Tiger's Curse Series. I love Kishan sooo much! Okay if you haven't noticed by now, I have a serious thing for bad boys. Like no joke. I can't help it. And Kishan is no exception. But he's got a super soft and romantic side. He's also really impulsive and persuasive, so if any one could get me to just elope, it would be him.

8. Boyfriend you'd venture anywhere with

Adam from If I stay. For some reason I feel like I could really trust Adam to know what he's doing, to make sure i'm okay, and make me feel comfortable wherever it is we're at. Plus he could sing music on the way, and write some songs while I write on my blog or my stories.

9. Boyfriend you'd want to be stranded on a desert island with

Ren Laroche from the Nightshade Series. I feel like he could keep the both us alive and keep it interesting and maybe even fun. Honestly I adore Ren, he's charming and funny so I think we'd get along really well. Plus he's a werewolf so he can hunt and scare away other things that could potentially try to eat us.

10. Most badass boyfriend

Tobias Eaton from Divergent because how could I not pick him. He not only an amazing person but he can do pretty much anything he sets his mind to. He can kick ass and be a leader and yet have a soft side.

Dear Cole St. Clair

     It's currently past midnight. And I'm awake thinking about you and Isabel and wolves. And strangely enough I want some french toast and a mug filled with chamomile tea. I'm actually really tired and kind of want to sleep, yet I don't feel like surrendering today yet. I think you'd get that. So I decided that I would write you a letter, because I think you of all people will understand my midnight ramblings and because I just finished Sinner and you're on my mind.
     How's Jeremy? And Isabel? Leon? You know I've been thinking, I've lived so close to L.A and yet I haven't seen much of it. Maybe I should take your advice and become a tourist in my own city. After all, how else am I going to see it's pretty facade. I'll keep you posted. I'm listening to High Hopes by Kodaline right now. I think I have a serious thing for sad and depressing songs. But I think you'd like it. It's sad and it's got the melancholy hum that just draw you in. There's no booming bass or synth beats, just some drums, piano and a yearning voice.
      Weird how active your brain can be, even after the whole worlds fast asleep. I'm kind of waiting for some deep thoughts to happen, but my brain is stuck on food and you. Mostly food. This is the moment I wish my house didn't have suck creaky, squeaky floors.
      I know I've said this before, but characters are the voices that bring color in our minds. I read somewhere that sometimes you can even start acting like your favorite characters. I can seriously say that I've channeled my inner Cole St Clair this week. I've been sassy, witty, and been a little sad. I think part of the reason I love you so much, why I connect with you so much, is because you're fucked up and you're trying to fix yourself. For some reason, this week, reading this book I feel a little happy if not a little hopeful. You're trying to put the pieces back together and they might be a little ragged but they're there. And I love you for trying and making it happen. I see you and Isabel working so hard to be happy and be yourselves that it makes me want to try harder too. I'm rooting for you. I hope you're rooting for me too. So thanks for reminding me that it's okay to be sad, to cry, and to be a little messed up. *hugs you*
       I know you probably think this whole letter is a little cheesy, bit random, but hopefully a little endearing and nice. I have this picture of you in my head after your parents came back running away into your bathroom wanting to die. Saying you were born to die. I know you're happy now running out of cars while on the freeway, hanging out with the always fashionable Isabel, and doing music stuff. So for me, as a reader, to watch you go from a very low low to a happy ending, was a happy thing.
      I love how you made me laugh and cry and feel everything imaginable. I got a lot of weird looks in class whenever I laughed so i'm pretty sure people think i'm a little crazy. But that's all right, I was a little bit crazy before I read Sinner. Probably more than a little. So tomorrow i'm going to make myself some french toast and some tea. Shame you and Isabel won't be there with me. I make some killer french toast :).
     So this is it Mr. Cole St. Clair, this is the end of my ramblings. I'm not going to bed yet, but I think I've said all I need to write now. Maybel i'll write you another letter. Maybe this'll be the only one I ever write to you.  I just want to say I love you, keep on being crazy, and stay happy.

What did you guys think of this letter? About Cole St. Clair? 

Love, 

Book Talk:Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater

 Release date: July 1, 2014
Book: Sinner
Author: Maggie Stiefvater

The Basics:

A standalone companion book to the internationally bestselling Shiver Trilogy.

 Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver Trilogy. Everybody thinks they know Cole's story. Stardom. Addiction. Downfall. Disappearance. But only a few people know Cole's darkest secret -- his ability to shift into a wolf. One of these people is Isabel. At one point, they may have even loved each other. But that feels like a lifetime ago. Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved?

My Musings:

     I absolutely adore the Shiver series. It's really fucking amazing! If you haven't read it I definitely recommend it! I was super excited for this book and thankfully was able to get it after it came out! I of course had high expectations for this book, and it didn't fail me at all.
     This is a book for fans. Sinner was very much it's own book and not really companion. It was in the same world and Sam and Grace are mentioned here and there but it wasn't Shiver. Which was the point. So if you're looking for Shiver 2.0 this ain't it. I will say that you do need to read the Shiver series to understand the stuff in the book because the things that happened in Mercy Falls do play a role in the book. So if you haven't read it, get off your bum, get the series, get back on your bum and read!
      Maggie Stiefvater has such an amazing writing style. She can be hilarious but be painfully deep. She has the perfect balance of sad musings and happy words. I love how honest her writing is. She's not romanticizing her characters or their problems. She's bringing them under different lights and just letting them tell the story.  I also love how sarcastic each of the characters are. It's honestly amazing!
     I fucking love Cole and Isabel. The thing that I loved most about them was the fact that they were so messed up but were trying to be better. Characterization was perfectly done. They were strong until they couldn't be any more. But after all, isn't there strength in breaking down too? Cole was both poetically sad and witty. Isabel was sassy and cold. I could connect with both of them. They had me cheering and laughing and even crying. There's this moment where Cole reaches this really low point  where it seems like he's given up on everything. It broke my heart to see him like that. But in the wise words of Tix from My Mad Fat Diary "Broken people fall to bits sometimes. It's just what they do". Needless to say my fragile fangirl heart couldn't handle it and so I cried. I really wish there was a way to give characters a hug. I would have given them both one. Then probably smacked some sense into both of them. I love Sophia! I can relate to her so much. Her overachiverness, her aiming to please, ready to forgive nature. She is such an amazing human person who is just too too nice and too too good. I love her role in the story and the way she helps Isabel, even when Isabel can't do anything but push everyone away.
     This is one of those books that's more character driven than plot driven. This book is essentially, without the werewolf stuff, about to very fucked up people who love each other and are putting the broken pieces back together. I did like how even though romance was a big factor in the book there were a lot of real life issues, like addiction, moving on from addiction, broken families, grief, loss etc. So this is a gritty book I'm not gonna lie. But the grit and gore are part of what I love about this book and make it special.
     Romance obviously does take a front seat in this book. It's a book about Isabel and Cole's relationship. So there are A LOT of  omg-this-is-too-freakin'-adorable moments. Like seriously I was gushing over these cute scenes. I love their relationship. They are there for each other when it counts but neither of them rely on the other totally and completely. They are okay with being their own people as well as leaning on each other. Sometimes in books one of the characters ends up being totally and completely dependent on the other and I hate it. Romance wise  this book was on point!
     I would definitely recommend this book to you guys! It's amazing. The writing is really good, the characters have amazing depth and it's just really freakin' awesome.

Coffee For Sinner: Blanco y Negro. Its really good coffee with vanilla bean ice cream. It's amazing. If you have the opportunity to try it I definitely recommend it! I think the contrast works really well with this book because in some ways Cole and Isabel are different but they compliment each other in their own way. Isabel is cold as a defense mechanism and Cole, well every one wants a piece of him, and he smiles and puts on a show. 

My Rating:
