My Book Boyfriend #4: Peregrine & A to Z Challenge: E - Emotion

A weekly meme, hosted by The Unread Reader, in which we swoon over boys in books!

This week's book boyfriend is

Peregrine

from the Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Peregrine (Perry) is Portrayed by Colton Haynes

Facts about Peregrine:

He's an outsider or savage according to the people living in Reverie.

He skin is as dark as his leather pants, his hair a blond Medusa’s snarl. Tattoos coiled around his arms. He had the reflective eyes of an animal. 

His brother Vale is Blood-Lord of the Tide Tribe where he lives, causing awkwardness between the brothers since Perry disagrees with everything.

Has a close connection to his nephew Talon through being a Scire.
He is very determined, brave, loyal, and trustworthy when it comes to doing what's right.

Favorite Lines / Scenes:


“She looked up. “A world of nevers under a never sky.”
She fit in well then, he thought. A girl who never shut up.”

“He watched as she pressed the berry to her lower lip. He kept looking at her mouth after she'd done it. He knew he should look away, but he couldn't. "Right. Good. If there's no stinging, you'd put it to your tongue."

Perry shot to his feet before he finished the words, nearly tripping over himself. He ran a hand over his head, feeling skitty, like he needed to laugh or run or do something. He picked up a stone and tossed it into the creek, trying to get the image of her tasting the berry out of his mind.”

“In the afternoon, they stopped to eat on a rocky outcrop. Perry brushed a kiss on her cheek while she was chewing, and she learned that it was the loveliest thing to be kissed for no reason, even while chewing food. It brightened the woods, and the never sky, and everything.”  

From the first appearance of Perry I couldn't help but become addicted to him. I loved that Under The Never Sky split the story up between his perspective and Aria's, it really helped me as a reader to get to know him better. While reading, I easily kept picturing Colton Haynes as him (I blame my recent viewing of season one of Teen Wolf) with blonde hair of course. Colton does the whole intense brooding pretty well while still coming off as caring, which is totally Perry! So yeah, Perry is definitely my book boyfriend...this week!

The Blogging from A to Z Challenge is a month long event hosted by a group of amazing folks. The Challenge is beginning April First with a topic themed on something with the letter A, then on April second another topic with the letter B as the theme, and so on until you finish on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter Z.  It doesn't even have to be a word--it can be a proper noun, the letter used as a symbol, or the letter itself.  The theme of the day is the letter scheduled for that day.


My theme - My word of the day will express things I love most about Young Adult Books and why!

Emotion 

When choosing something to read, I like to find something that will make me feel for the characters in the story. Whether it be sadness, happiness, or just completely off my rocker - I love feeling connected to a story that will make me think about it for a long time after finishing. One that will stay with me for a while is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This is a story that even though I cried through a good portion of it, I still absolutely loved it and would read it again and again. Rather than ramble on and on about the reasons why, you can read my review HERE.

Who's YOUR book boyfriend? Ever read something that stuck with you?
