Last week, I posted about the sexiest, funniest, cutest, and most awkward book boyfriends that we all love. So to balance it out, this is a list of the Top 10 Book Girl Crushes; ranging from cute to kickass. Here we go...
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!!!!
1. Celaena Sardothien (Throne of Glass series, by Sarah J. Maas) Celaena is probably the most kickass woman I have ever had the honour of reading and experiencing. She is a strong, smart, independent woman who, again and again, shows that you don't need a man to save the day. She has experienced Hell in her short lifetime, but stays true to herself, protecting herself from the world. Protecting her secret.... Another reason to love her is because she is totally down to earth. She's your typical Girly-Girl-Meets-Dangerous-Bitch! She loves reading, shopping, long walks around the castle grounds holding a sword and bad to carry a decapitated head in...
“My name is Celaena Sardothien. But it makes no difference if my name's Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me.”
Hair: White Blonde
Eyes: Icy Blue
Occupation: Assassin
Relationship Status: I don't even want o think about it.... #TEAMDORIAN

Rate Out Of 10: 9 - It will only be upgraded to a 10 of she ends up with Dorian. Sarah J. Mass, I'm looking at you.
2. Isabelle Lightwood (The Mortal Instruments series, by Cassandra Clare) Isabelle Lightwood is another amazing strong woman. Izzy never learned to cook or clean, so that she would always be seen as a fierce warrior type, so that she would never be looked down apon by males. Isabelle is a free spirit who enjoyed the company of downworlders for quite some time, before a nerd with a horrible band stole her heart. Izzy is a girly girl that would slit your throat for giving her shit. She has faced terrible truths ever since she was a child, and has vengeance lacing her heart. Learning some dark secrets as a child caused her to be scared of love, and she still tries to run from it.
"But I watch my brothers give their hearts away and I think, Don’t you know better? Hearts are breakable. And I think even when you heal, you’re never what you were before."

Special Skills: Well, cooking isn't one of them. SHe is badass with a whip and can handle just about an situation with elegance and bravery.
Rate Out Of 10: 20
3. Katy Swartz (Lux series, by Jennifer L. Armentrout) Katy is the type of kickass girl that could be told aliens are real, and take it. She's also the type of girl who is tough enough to take on becoming one. She has a sparky personality, and a great body, and both of these attributes reel her Hottie-With-The-Body next door neighbour into her clutches. Katy is strong and stubborn and heroic, always wanting to save he people around her, and would do anything for the people she loves. Also, Katy has a mad obsession with books, and actuall blogs about them. KatysKrazyObsession.com
“You know, you’re right. How wrong of me to call you a douchebag. Because a douchebag is too nice of a word for you,” I said, smiling sweetly. “You’re a dickhead.”
“A dickhead?” he repeated. “How charming.”
I flipped him off."

4. Aurora Lahey (Divinicus Nex series, by A&E Kirk) Aurora is a badass girl on the inside, and she's DYING to let it show, but, unfortunately, the clumsy, ruin-y side keeps making appearances. She is keeping a dangerous secret from the boy she loves and the rest of her family and team, and it keeps getting people hurt, but she knows that is she tells them, they will all be separated, and she doesn't want that. Aurora is deathly dedicated to protecting those she loves. She enjoys creepy missions into underground cave systems, being incredibly average, and making out with her smokin' hot boyfriend.
"I launched into a graceful ninja-like front roll, then stood my ground to face the monstrous heathen, fearless in my determination to vanquish the deadly foe.
Nah, just kidding. I bolted, discretion being the better part of not getting dead."
Hair: Red and brown
Eyes: Green
Occupation: Divinicus Nex
Relationship Status: Official with Ayden Ishida
Special Skills: Aurora has weird dreams and visions of demons in her area and this AWESOME preassure-octopus magic stuff
Rate Out Of 10: 10
5. Sadie Kane (Kane Chronicles series, by Rick Riordan) Sadie Kane is exactly the type of ballsy, I-don't-give-a-crap-about-your-mortal-problems, kind of girl that his world needs more of. Honestly, Sadie is a character that I related to immensely, with her wits and sarcasm and her tradgic past. The only thing that Sadie has and I don't (well apart from a hot browther and a magic wand) is a love triangles. Even better, one of them is a god, and the to her is her best friend. I'd be lucky if anyone but my dog ever loved me.
"Then, finally, we were ready to charge in and save Sadie, and she rides up in a limousine driven by an ugly dwarf in a swimsuit, and she accuses us of being late.
So when she told us the dwarf was driving us to Russia, I was like, "Whatever." And I got into the car."
Hair: Blonde with red/blue/purple stripes. With this chick, who even knows?
Eyes: Light blue
Occupation: Magician and leader of Brooklyn House
Relationship Status: Dating the Egyptian god of Death and Toilet Paper. Nice.
Special Skills: The power of Isis, and mad skills with a want and hieroglyphs. Also, her sarcasm is better than Katy's.

6. Annabeth Chase (Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series, both by Rick Riordan) Annabeth Chase is a sassy, smart, addictive girl that taught me (and Leo) that the term "dumb blonde" is sadly and horribly mistaken. Annabeth is fierce and strong, facing her fears on a quest to save her mother and the rest of the world, and even sending her birthday in a pit of death. Annabeth is the type of inspiring person that makes me want to work for the magic in the world, to uncover it, to learn its secrets, and be a part of it. Also, her kisses are life.
"You're cute when you're worried," she muttered. "Your eyebrows get all scrunched together."
"You are not going to die while I owe you a favor," I said. "Why did you take that knife?"
"You would've done the same for me."
Hair: Blonde princess curls
Eyes: Grey like a thunderstom about to crack
Occupation: Demigod
Relationship Status: Dating Percy Jackson
Special Skills: Smart beyond beliefe, crazy good with a dagger, and fierce about her friends safety
Rate Out Of 10: 10
7. Blue Sargent (The Raven Boys quartet, by Maggie Stievatter) When I first saw Blue, I was like: "This bitch be kray." But as I read on, I was like: "You go, Glen Coco!" because she went from crazy to crazy-amazing in less time than it takes to say "crazy-amazing". She has worked her whole life to be acentric, and ad achieved it with flying colours. Blue comes from a family of psychics , bus isn't psychic herself. She has always though she was something more. When she meets a pack of rich boys with a dangerous dream, she has nothing to hold hrr back from tumbling into their world.
"In that moment, Blue was a little in love with all of them.
Their magic. Their quest. Their awfulness and strangeness.
Her raven boys."

Eyes: Hazel

8. Layla (The Dark Elements trilogy, by Jennifer L. Armentrout) Layla is a great gal, plagued with an internal struggle about which side on the war of Good and Evil she stands on. She was raised on one side, but can't deny the other. When a demon with a hot-bod and a dark mission enters her life, she is smitten, and can't seem to untangle herself from his clutches. Layla really made me think about mysef, about all of me, even the bits I'd rather not think about. SHe made me think that it was okay to be that way, that I was okay. She made me feel welcome and safe, and I felt like she got me in a way I couldn't get myself. Layla's struggles echoed to me, and I applaud her for showing me the way.
"If I say thank you, will you go away?" |
Eyes: Light blue, almost white

Special Skills: Layla can see people souls, and take them with a kiss

9. Chloe Saunders (The Darkest Powers trilogy, by Kelley Armstrong) Chloe started off as just a girl with a crazy secret and boring hair. But them BAMB! Her life became a whirlwind of crazy kids with supernatural abilities, running from the government, and falling in love with a pack of cute brothers. Chloe is fun, outgoing, and incredibly brave. She loves everyone around her, and is a grounding presence. She made even me feel at home. I was hooked on the first chapter.
"Don't talk to the crazy kids. I longed to shout back that we weren't crazy. I'd mistaken her kid for a ghost, that's all."

10. Isolde [Iz-ode] Brannick (School Spirits trilogy, by Rachel Hawkins) Isolde is another one of the those badass characters that make you want to go out on the street and punch the next pale guy you see. Izzy comes from a family that lives in the middle of nowhere, and when she is sent on a mission to her very first high-school, things start to stun weird. Or even weirder...
"You knocked out Ben McCrary?' he asked, eyes wide.
'It was an accident,' I said again. 'I threw the ball harder than I meant to.'
Dex burst into laughter. 'Oh my God, that is the greatest thing I've heard all week. You are my new hero.'
Squinting at me, he leaned in and said, 'Serious, I might actually be in love with you now. Would it be awkward if we made out?"
