My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme hosted by Missie of The Unread Reader.
It was very easy to picture Finn Mac Cumhaill (or the Mac Cumhaill), Teagan's love interest in Tyger Tyger and In the Forests of the Night by Kersten Hamilton. For one thing, right off the bat, Abby, Teagan's best friend exclaims, upon first seeing him: "Oh. My. God...Brad Pitt just moved in with you...he looks just like a young Brad Pitt."
"He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and jeans that hung on his wiry frame like they'd been bought for someone else. His blond hair was cropped short.... Finn stepped inside, and his eyes went first to the kitchen door, then the stairs. Teagan had seen a wolf do the same thing--check a new habitat for esit as soon as it entered. But the wolf had been frightened, and Finn was not...He wasn't feral. You had to be tame before you could turn feral. Finn Mac Cumhaill did not look like he had ever been tame."
"'Are you thickheaded?' Finn asked. 'I know your blood, and the heart that pumps it. I'm saying I'll walk with you down any path, as long as I'm able.'"

Did you really just hit me with a young and wet Brad Pitt?! *melts into a pile of goo once known as Missie*
ReplyDeleteNow my imagines of an untamed Finn are running wild.
Eeeeep! I love this "My Book Boyfriend" thing.
ReplyDeleteI must say, I'm not a big fan of Brad Pitt, but seriously, he looks FIIINE in those pictures. I seiously think my opinion of him has changed since seeing these pictures ^.^

Missie – Ha! I take it I have your seal of approval on my BBF for this week?
ReplyDeleteAngela - He does look a bit too young for me in these pics, but then he’s always had a boyish face. Oh, what a pretty boy!
Ashley- I hope you like it!
My keeper shelf – If I at all brought any measure of happiness to your day, then I consider my job well done :)
Roro – Hmm. Definitely need to read the first book because starting with the 2nd book will be absolutely confusing.
Blodeuedd – As wild animals go, I’d love to take him home and keep him as a pet…
lisa :) – Thank you! Teagan’s one lucky girl.
KaitlynjFrancis – Read them and perhaps I’ll share Brad with you!
Jesse – There’s so much to fall in love with in the series, Brad Pitt doppelganger notwithstanding.
Melissa (Books and Things) – Nope, I do not think he has ever been ugly. Scruffy with the beard, but still hot. Damn that Angelina.
ReplyDeleteMedeia – Missie’s meme is the coolest one around and one in which I happily, too enthusiastically participate.
Jennifer – Wet pics definitely get my imagination percolating… Thanks for the follow : )
Books And Beyond – About to turn 50?! That’s okay, I’d take Brad Pitt over any hot youngling. I prefer men, not boys.
Oh dead those quotes!! Finn sounds awesome!! And young Brad Pitt is giving me total met down *le sigh*

ReplyDeleteAMAZING pick for your book boyfriend, Stephanie! :)
I'm glad that you found me through Waiting on Wednesday, Stephanie. I really like your blog. The book boyfriend really looks like a cross between Brad Pitt and Colin Farrell :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome meme! I never heard of My Book Boyfriend before - thanks for finding me through Waiting on Wednesday.

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteFinn sounds great, and Brad...ah, Brad. He is one beautiful man, isn't he? I mean, I saw Moneyball recently and thought, "Wow, he's still pretty" lol! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I hope you have a good weekend,
Ninja Girl
I definitely like the goatee version of Brad Pitt. It's been years since I've seen any of his movies and I forgot how good looking he is.
ReplyDeleteOh Finn! He's such a heart throb! He reminded me of Touchstone from the Garth Nix series Sabriel <3
ReplyDeleteStephanie, the resemblance is uncanny! Wow! He could be my book BF any day. CUTE! beyond cute!
ReplyDeleteNo way! That's how you picture this guy Finn? As a young Brad Pitt? *Runs out to buy the book* I MUST read this book.
