    Hazel and Augustus might very well be my most favorite people in the book world. They are so witty and I love their conversations with one another. Isaac is also amazing. Okay? Okay. (: Great post, and you have a new follower as well! Would love it if you could check mine out: My TTT.

      I didn't expect to love Isaac so much, but his story reduced me to tears as much as Hazel + Gus.

    I loved Aria and Peregrine together - I literally finished Under the Never Sky yesterday and loved it!

    I'm also just reading the second book of the Mortal Instruments series (I know, I'm late to the party!) but I can already see why everyone seems to love Jace!

    Great list!

    I loved Lola & Cricket and Aria + Peregrine and of course every character from Harry Potter. The Fault in our Stars is currently giving me the evil eye from my book shelf.

    I haven't read any of these except Harry Potter, but a lot of people have chosen The Fault in our Stars and The Mortal Instruments so I'll be giving them a go sometime soon.
    Feel free to visit my list :)

    This list is so great! I included everyone from Harry Potter on my list - I just cannot choose one! I'm really annoyed that I forgot to include Adam(and Mia) from If I Stay and Where She Went - I absolutely loved those two characters!

      So many people had choices from HP, and I tried but then I realized I was just writing all of them haha. So, I cheated and added them as a collective. And I loveeeeee Adam so much.

    Good list! I'm happy to see you put Issac from TFIOS on there. A lot of people (like me) have included Augustus, but most people seem to have forgotten poor Issac. He was a great character, too! It was so interesting and sad to see him struggling through his illness. I love a lot of your other choices too, like Jace Wayland...sigh. Great list!

      Thank you! I was so surprised how much I loved Isaac - I mean, we all know of the beauty and grace of Hazel + Gus, but so many of my favourites were of Isaac and who he was. Gah. I just want to read him all over again.

    Bria (and Rowan, sigh), YES! Augustus and Hazel, Yes! And every last character from H.Potter, yes, yes and yes! Great Top Ten Ashley:) I've yet to read 'Lola' but St. Clair from 'Anna' was VERY close to making it on to mine(sadly he was only slightly bested by Marcus Flutie:)
