Wednesday is fast becoming my fave day of the week, mostly thanks to My Book Boyfriend, a weekly meme hosted by The Unread Reader, all about fictional boys who make us swoon. This week my book boyfriend is Henry Lazar from Red Riding Hood - because he deserves so much better than lame Valerie who'd rather swoon over lame Peter.
About Henry
- He's a blacksmith and works for the family business. This means he spends a lot of time dirty, sweaty, hot and shirtless.
- He's the only rich boy in town - ka-ching! Wait, I mean... money doesn't matter. Yes, yes, that's it. Ahem.
- He's totally in love with Valerie, so his dad arranges for him to be betrothed to her. Too bad lame Valerie has other lame ideas. Luckily for her, Henry isn't lame and doesn't force her to stick with the betrothal. He's nice like that.
- Henry is also super sweet and does everything he can to help, support and care for lame Valerie - even after she's really lame to him.
- Valerie is lame PURELY because she prefers lame Peter over awesome, amazing, adorable Henry. Peter is lame coz he's not Henry.
- When I read the book, I pictured Ben Barnes as Henry, but after watching the movie, I think Max Irons is great. In fact, I'm kinda totally obsessed with him now.

Max Irons is Attractive
I haven't watched the movie yet! But he does look very swoon-worthy!!
ReplyDeleteGreat boyfriend!:P
Max Iron is yummy! I can't wait to watch the movie. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteI love your comment that his job keeps him sweaty and shirtless!

How perfect is it that Max Irons played a blacksmith?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book or watched the movie yet, but I can't Val would rather swoon over some lame guy when Henry is willing to die for her. Gah!
Oooh...I love Henry (and Max!) I don't even feel that bad drooling over him because he is only 3 years younger than me! hehe!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute meme! I've never heard of this before but loving it! I'd pick Henry over Peter any day if it was Max who was playing Henry.
ReplyDeleteFor those who haven't seen the movie yet, I definitely recommend it - I loved it! Especially because of Max. He's gorgeous! The fact that Valerie prefers Peter is a major flaw, I think. The book I wasn't a massive fan of, but it didn't help that the final chapter wasn't included (it was put online after the movie was released). Ah, well, at least it gave me Henry! ;)
