This week The Broke and The Bookish wants to know what are your : Top Ten Books That Will Make You Swoon.
Now, I don’t really read a lot of swoonies in the traditional sense of the word, however, I will not be beaten! I will find ten swoonies even if I fall over during the process.
- The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons – if you don’t swoon at this book then frankly you’re just beyond redemption! That’s all. Read it and weep! One word: Alexander.
- The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon – all I can say is Jamie!
- The Rebel Angels by Gillian Philip – Seth McGregor… nuff said.
- The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch – and, in a step out of the ordinary I’m not swooning over the main man here but his buddy Jean Tannen – OMG!!
- Lord of the Rings – Aragorn
Well, I said I wouldn’t be beaten, but I fibbed. I’ve only got five swoonies – but, they’re all so good that they count twice!
Hah, scrap the above, I’ve thought of some more:
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – Rhett Butler, you may not like him but ‘frankly my dear …..’
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – moody Mr Rochester
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte – Heathcliff – can those Bronte sisters write up a storm or what!
That’s it for me! I’ve told you mine – so tell me yours…
