Literary Crushes Blogfest
Written by:
Thanks to the lovely Frankie Diane over at Frankie Writes for the Literary Crushes blogfest. We here at CTW had a different post planned for today, but we simply weren't prepared so it's been put off for a bit.
So I'm taking this opportunity to fill the void with love letters to a few of literary crushes. Frankie had originally conceptualized this blogfest as a way to express reader love for YA literary crushes, but mine tend to run more toward the adult (with maybe a couple YA thrown in)
1) Beowulf from Beowulf
Dear Beowulf:
Even though I have a hard time understanding what the heck you're saying, and you're all about male bonding and violent bloody monster killing battles, I find you irresistably hot in an erotic S&M sort of Viking way.
Just sayin'
Love,
Margaret
2) Dirk Pitt from Clive Cussler's multiple Dirk Pitt novels
Dearest Dirk:
Your wit and charm are aphrodisiacal, as is your chiseled body, your suavity, your devilish nature, and your encyclopedic knowledge of all things nautical. You make me swoon.
Cheers,
~Margaret
3) Edmond Dantes, Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Dear Edmond:
I find your single-minded determination and your noble purpose to be both attractive and intriguing. There's a mystery about you that is magnetic and dangerous. My heart is yours should you wish to claim it.
Love always,
~Margaret
4) Sidney Carton, A Tale of Two Cities, by Dickens
My Dear Sidney:
Your sacrificial devotion breaks my heart. I only wish you could realize your own worth before you throw it all away on a gesture.
Love,
~Margaret
5) Artemis Fowl, from the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
Dear Artemis:
I know you already know your own best qualities so I won't enumerate them for you. However, I find your evil genius intoxicating in a braniac sort of way. If you ever take time out from joining forces with the - ahem - mythical fairy realm, look me up and we can conjugate some verbs or solve some theorems or something.
Love,
~Margaret
I could go on and on but I'll spare you the suffering. I'm hoping my fellow conspirators here at CTW will post their own letters to literary crushes. But if not, be sure to check out the rest of them at Frankie Writes!
LOL Well done Margaret!
Edmond=yummo!! :)
Love this idea, very cute!
