Yay Elizabeth and Darcy! I also loved the "parents" in the Book Thief. And I loved Ian's development in the Host.
ReplyDeleteI forgot how much I loved the Host...but I read it like 2 years ago so I forgot a lot of stuff in it...;D
ReplyDeleteLove your picks Melissa- Elizabeth and Darcy will always be the number one couple!
Yay! We picked the same for Best Kick Arse Female. Gabi was pretty fierce, eh?
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about The Host, but I never got around to watching it. I'll probably check out the movie, though. LOL
LOVE your list. All the characters in The Book Thief are so wonderful - if I had have read it in 2011, I think my list would have looked exactly like yours!
