Top Ten Tuesday - Ten fictional crushes

This is a weekly meme from The Broke and the Bookish.

This time it is about ten fictional crushes - well, it was hard to find 10 crushes so I searched really deep in my past.. ;")

Please note that these are pure "Schwärmerei" - nothing carnal in it. ;")

So here they are - in no particular order:

1. Dr. Seward from DRACULA (Bram Stoker)


2. Mr. Bingley from PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (Jane Austen)


3. Colonel Brandon from SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (Jane Austen)


4. Smike from NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (Charles Dickens) - I was about to name my cat after him - but it turned out that Lucy was a better name for her.. :")


5. William Dobbin from VANITY FAIR (William Makepeace Thackeray) - another nearly catname - now the cat is known as Mina.. :") here you can see both of them.


6. Jem from TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD (Harper Lee) - maybe you ought to know that I was a little girl when I first read this book.. ;")


7. CINDERELLA (Perrault/ Brothers Grimm etc. )


8. John Thornton from NORTH AND SOUTH (Elizabeth Gaskell)


9. Bert from MARY POPPINS (P.L. Travers)


10. PETER PAN (J.M. Barrie)

And: yes, I have a heart for minor characters. ;")

How about you??

P.S. Here's the one I've forfotten, but who REALLY belongs to this list: SHERLOCK HOLMES!!! (shame on me for forgetting him!)
