Popularity Contest – Tuesday, December 16th 

Class Clown--Noah, The Raven Boys.  At least occasionally.  And those are the parts I choose to focus on.

Villain I Love to Hate--Rob Lynburn, Unmade. Classic evil dude.  UGH.

Fashion King and/or Queen--Kami Glass, Unmade.  I love that Kami is smart and weird and loud and has the cutest clothes, all at the same time.  (Of course, that's par for the course with SRB.  Like I said.  Hella feminist.)

Favorite Parental Figure--Jon Glass, Unmade.  Who are we all going to choose for this category next year?

Most Likely to Start a Riot--Jared Lynburn/Ronan Lynch, Unmade/Blue Lily, Lily Blue--Um, especially if they were in the same place at the same time.  I'll let you imagine that scenario.  You're welcome.

Coolest Nerd--Zelia, Control--Zelia is an old-school nerd--she spends a lot of time in a lab, working with DNA.  But she's doing it to try and save her sister--what's cooler than that?
 

 
 Character I’d Most Want For a BFF--Becca, One, Two, Three--I think I've written before about my love for Becca.  She's got her own life and her own issues, but she always makes time for Nata, even when Nata is prickly.  
 

Character I Wish I’d Dated in High School--Jack, Push Girls--Jack is a sweet boy with a brain full of trivia, who loves Kara and thinks she's beautiful--full stop.  Who tells her how great she is and looks out for her (because he cares about her, not because he thinks she can't take care of herself) and is a great all-around cheerleader?  Why didn't he live in Schenectady, NY circa 2001?

 

Most Likely to Become President--Charlotte, Everything Leads to You--Charlotte is my kind of gal.  She's super-organized, professional, and all-around awesome.  I know she plans to work in museums, but...you never know.  
 
Quirkiest Character--Toby, Everything Leads to You--Even though we don't see much of Toby, he pops.  His love of films, his special iced tea arrangement with the Ethiopian place around the corner, his demand that Emi does something epic while she's borrowing his apartment--quirky to a T.
