Bookwhoredom isn’t easy but someone’s got to do it. How could I live up to my name if I didn’t have a series of book boys I’m swooning over all at once. Here’s a list of fictional boyfriends I’m currently obsessed with…they aren’t long winded descriptions of the book just blurbs describing my undying devotion to these fab men! Christian Grey isn’t on this list BUT this is a CURRENT list…I will undeniably find my way back to him! LOL.

10. Jessie Ward – This Man Trilogy (Jodi Ellen Malpas)

Talk about swoon worthy alpha males. I love love love Jessie Ward he is my number 10 pick…I know, I know #10 seems far off but he was a bit too possessive for my liking. I love him but let’s face it he had some batshit crazy moments. HA!

This Man  |  Beneath This Man  |  This Man Confessed

9. Tristan Michaels – Finding Love’s Wings (Zoey Derrick)

Hot movie star…um need I say more? Oh wait, Hot tattooed (and pierced) movie star! Yes, please! ::Fans self:: excuse me while I swoon some more. Tristan Michaels is just hot! Lock me away in a hotel room on a remote island with him any day!  Must read book with a must have book boyfriend!

Finding Love’s Wings

8. Matt Watkins – Flat Out Love (Jessica Park)

Witty, lovable Matt. One of my must read picks is Flat-Out Love and I swear this guy had me swooning from the start. Nerdy and adventurous what a combo.  He’s  the ultimate book boyfriend.

Flat-Out Love  |  Flat-Out Matt

7.  Ryan Christensen – The Love Series (Tina Reber)

Another movie star! Hello…notice a pattern…I’m kind of digging the rockstar/movie star romance. Hollywood IT man Ryan Christensen is hot let’s face it, the man is sex on a stick but he doesn’t want all the glitz and glamour. He wants the girl…loyal, humble and absolutely swoon worthy…what’s not to love?

Love Unscripted  |  Love Unrehearsed

6. Kellan Kyle – Thoughtless Trilogy (S.C. Stephens)

ROCKSTAR Romance! Who doesn’t love them? Kellan Kyle you had me swooning from the beginning and I am still reeling from that experience. I would’ve dropped my man for you too…ok maybe not, but I’d consider it! hehe 😀

Thoughtless  |  Effortless  |  Reckless

5.  Andrew Parrish – The Edge of Never (J.A. Redmerski)

I love, love, love Andrew Parrish. If I had to take a road trip across the country with a random stranger…he’d be my guy! Seriously though, what’s not to love…he is smoldering hot and sweet as candy.  This is the guy you take to bed that will NEVER disappoint, the one you introduce to your parents and marry! The one you want to spend every waking moment with because he’s so flipping perfect! Oh and did I mention he’s also tattooed…I think I’m in heaven! Someone pinch me!

The Edge of Never  |  The Edge of Always

4. David Ferris – Lick (Stage Dive #1)  (Kylie Scott)

Oh dear God, lock me in a room with David Ferris. Accidentally marry me off to him…I promise I’ll never leave! Another ROCKSTAR romance to die for. Hot is not the word for David Ferris…jeez the things I’ve mentally done with him! HA!

Lick (Stage Dive #1)

3. Dean Holder – Hopeless/Losing Hope & Will Cooper – Slammed Trilogy (Colleen Hoover)

Need I say more.

Colleen Hoover creates amazing characters who you fall in love with regardless of gender but Holder, sigh, Holder is something special. And I had to include Will from the Slammed trilogy because, well, I just love him, but since I wanted to be fair to other authors I love. CoHo gets a pass and you get a two-for! Lol.

Hopeless  |  Losing Hope

Slammed  | Point of Retreat  |  This Girl

2. Rush Finlay – Too Far Series (Abbi Glines)

Rush, I love you. Marry me! The End.

Fallen Too Far  |  Never Too Far  |  Forever Too Far

1. Fitzwilliam Darcy – Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)

Need I say more? Classic and timeless! My all time favorite book boyfriend. He will always be #1. I’d give up my bookwhoring for him. LOL.  Mr. Darcy, the elusive Mr. Darcy. I love this book I’ve read it more time than I’m willing to admit and have watched every movie, series or show based on the book. My all time favorite Darcy portrayal is Colin Firth! Best adaptation I’ve seen! And guess what, I might leave my man for Darcy…in fact, I think I have. Quite a few times…while he was present…but shhhhhh don’t tell him!

Pride and Prejudice – there are no excuses for not reading this book, the download is FREE!!!

If you haven’t read any of the books I highly recommend them. Not just because they’re awesome but because the “eye candy,” come on folks you’re readers use your imagination. Seriously though, check these books out. You won’t be disappointed!

Biblio-fession # 4

Author: Bibliowhore • Discussion: 2 Comments
My favorite book is Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. I own a multitude of different copies. Every time I see an edition I don’t already own I’m tempted to…ok, ok I buy it! I can’t help it! It’s a sickness and I don’t want a cure! This is the confession of a book whore.

Biblio-fession # 3

Author: Bibliowhore • Discussion: No Comments
I go to my local public library in search of books on sale. I currently own a ridiculous amount of “officially discarded” library books. They cost $0.25 for paperback and $0.50 for hardcover. Talk about a deal! I actually just got home from the library…shhh…don’t tell anyone ;-D
This is the confession of a book whore.

Biblio-fession # 2

Author: Bibliowhore • Discussion: No Comments
I am a YA/NA book junkie. I absolutely love everything Young Adult or New Adult! I can’t get enough. While I will likely read anything in the form of a book. I have an affinity for YA/NA. Most of the books I will review or comment on are of these genres. However, I do read Adult fiction, classics, fantasy, nonfiction, mystery, etc. so don’t be thrown off if I discuss a book from a different genre. This is the confession of a book whore…

Goodreads and Great Reads…

Author: Bibliowhore • Discussion: 1 Comment

Aside from being a bibliophile, I’m also a Goodreads member. If you don’t know about Goodreads do me a favor and click on the link…no, don’t close this page until you finish reading every last word here…now as I was saying, I am goodreads obsessed. If you’re an avid reader, you’ll see why! Anyways…check it out.

When I first joined GRs I didn’t realize the weight of my words. I got likes on my reviews from authors and was seriously stoked. I was like, “wow they read that.” It made me rethink my sometimes unkind reviews. So with that in mind I will say this…any reviews I wrote/write are and were never intended to insult the writer. I don’t ever want someone to feel like I am discouraging them from writing, however, a writer cannot improve their writing without knowing how the reader connects with that piece of work. Negative feedback/critiques are necessary. Sometimes they’re not delivered in a way that softens the blow, but they matter as much as the good reviews. My biggest fear is publishing something I’ve written and everyone hating it, but its a risk every writer takes by putting a piece of themselves out there for the public to absorb and reflect on.

So, if I’ve ever written an unkind review or given your book an, “eh it was alright” I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but toughen up buttercup. There will be a lot worse reviews out there than mine. I will always try to be diplomatic when I write a review but if I don’t like something I will be honest. I will also try to leave everyone with my point of view without expressly spoiling the story for you as the reader.

So as my first official bibliofession I’m starting with something positive…Colleen Hoover and her amazingness!

I fell in love with her writing a few short months ago and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. I’ve never experienced an author who could reach inside the depths of my soul! She writes with such a beautiful rawness. Her stories can be heartbreaking at times and you feel every emotion those characters feel. My first CH book was Hopeless and I was blown away! This book was need I say it…A-MAZING! This is one of the first books that ever brought me to tears. I cried, I laughed, I swooned, I cringed and it is still one of the best books I’ve ever read. I am impatiently awaiting the release of Losing Hope!

I then moved onto the Slammed series…I absolutely fell in LOVE all over again. I mean, there are writers and then there are WRITERS. What an emotional roller-coaster ride for me. I think I connected with this book on a crazy level because the characters circumstances mirrored some of my own at the time. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I have yet to read This Girl. I was impatiently awaiting the release and I am ashamed to say I have not read it yet. I even have the book, but I knew what I would get myself into the minute I started reading.  I could not put myself in a position to cry all over again…not yet because for some reason only Colleen Hoover books seem to bring on the waterworks. That’s a good thing btw! When an author can bring me to tears, you my friend have outdone yourself!

If you haven’t checked her books out…YOU are insane…but seriously buy them!!! You will not be disappointed! What are you waiting for? Go buy the books…now…seriously….go!
