It’s Valentine’s Day today where I live. I feel the romance in the air. What better way to celebrate romantic relationships by talking about (book) boyfriends?
As a fangirl, I get emotionally attached to characters that don’t exist in real life. I’d like to think I don’t have a lot of book boyfriends, but realistically, the list is endless. Book boyfriends shouldn’t be mistaken for OTPs (one true pairings), but they could be part of one.
^^ me when I fangirl over fictional characters
I also made a post about my favorite OTPs, and you can click here to check it out.
Disclaimer: None of the artwork in this post is mine. I linked the artists’ Tumblr to their respective artwork as well as gave them credit below the art.
Dorian Havilliard
Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
Dorian is super caring to all his friends. He seems like the type of person who’s super supportive and also knows how to have a good time.
Leo Valdez
The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan
I really value a person with a good sense of humor. Leo Valdez is definitely one of them. Ever since I read the Heroes of Olympus series, I’ve had a slight crush on him. He’s what keeps the demigod squad together. He’s hardworking, but never caves under pressure.
Kaz Brekker
Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo
created by Merwild (Cocotingo)
He’s not a Heartrender, but he’s certainly a heartBREKKER! AHAHAHA ok I’ll stop.
Ezra Mason
The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
He’s the type of boyfriend that makes weird remarks but never fails to make you laugh or have a good time. When you’re having a bad day, without a doubt he will make you smile. Too bad he’s already taken.
Levi Stewart
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Levi would definitely be someone I would love to have as a boyfriend. He’s super sweet, loyal, and funny. (I guess by now you can tell I like funny people to make up for the lack of funny jokes I can make. All I can make is cringe-worthy puns.) He’s the one you would want to cuddle up with during the winter and just watch a movie together.
Khalid
The Wrath & The Dawn series by Renee Ahdieh
Sure, Khalid has some angst. Heck, the first book was pretty angst-y if you ask me. However, there’s something mysterious about him that intrigues me. It’s kind of like one of those situations where you see a sharp, shiny object. You know you shouldn’t touch it, but you can’t help yourself because it’s so beautiful.
Until next time….
I have to say your Sokka gif made me laugh so freaking hard!! That’s honestly one of my favorite parts in the whole show!
I definitely love Kaz and Khalid as well, and I have yet to read Fangirl but I have a feeling I will love Levi too! π

Avatar: The Last Airbender was one of my favorite shows growing up. Sokka was one of my favorite characters because he was so awkward and funny.
If you like Rainbow Rowell’s other works, you’re going to like Fangirl π

Me too! Such an awesome show and kind of a gateway into other anime shows I feel too!
I haven’t read ANY of Rainbow Rowell’s books before but lots of them sound interesting I figured I’d start with Fangirl but do think I should start with a different one?

I intended to compose you one little note to help say thanks over again on the superb tactics youβve provided in this case. It is quite shockingly open-handed with you to deliver freely all that numerous people could have marketed for an electronic book to help make some profit on their own, chiefly seeing that you could have done it if you decided. Those strategies additionally worked like the great way to understand that someone else have the identical fervor really like my own to know lots more with respect to this condition. I know there are lots of more fun times ahead for many who see your blog post.
