Bout of Books 6.0: Challenge 1

{Click on the banner to be directed to the Bout of Books blog.}  

So I hadn't planned on participating on any challenges because since this is my first BoB, I was afraid to overdo it. However, today's challenge question is too much fun to resist. 

Today's challenge question is hosted by The Book Barbies. 

Scientific Discovery

You have made a scientific discovery (who knew you were so good at science?!) on how to bring fictional characters to life. The problem? The method still isn't *perfect,* so you can only bring two people to life, and they must return to the land of fiction in 30 days. Who will you choose as your bestie and your love interest for that one splendid month? (Feel free to add pictures if you like, but they are not required.) 

I did say this question was fun, right? But it's also kind of a bitch because I've read so many books with awesome heroes and BFFs that it wasn't easy narrowing it down, lol.

Bestie: So for my new, temporary bestie I chose Merit from the Chicagoland Vampires series by Chloe Neill. She's smart, sarcastic, knows how to have fun and kick ass, and she's a vampire to boot which is totally cool.  She's the kind of gal that I can totally see myself kicking back, having a beer and laughing with about whatever randomness happens to be going on in our lives at that moment.  She's also been known to be very supportive of her other bestie, Mallory so I know she'd have my back.

Boy Toy: This one was a doozy because let's face it, there are some amazeballs book boyfriends out there.  Finally, after much contemplating, I settled on Drustan from Kiss of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning.  Dude, he's a highlander!  Yum!  More than that, he's sexy, brooding, funny, good with a sword *snort*, and protective.  I didn't want this book to end, but alas it did and I wished I could crawl into it and live it!
