THE SMASHING AND DASHING 2018 CHARACTER AWARDS//BLOG TAG

I was “tagged” by Allison to do this gorgeous tag and I cannot wait to get started!! 😆

Rules

1. Nominate characters to fill each category from books read in 2018  (does not have to be published in 2018, just read in 2018)
2. link back to Cait’s original post

My Nominees

1.) Most Relatable Character

I would have to give this award to Margaretha Gerstenberg from the Princess Spy. She is constantly getting told that she talks way too much. I relate on so many levels. I am an extrovert and I am very, very chatty. I have three different nicknames that have to do with talking too much. She and I also are romantics so……yeah she definitely won this award. 😂😂

2.) Most Pure Animal Companion

This award goes to Beana the goat from Veiled Rose. She is literally one of the best animal sidekicks I have read about aside from characters from the Chronicles of Narnia!

3.) Fiercest Fighter

This award goes to Casey Cos from If I Run. She went through so much yet stayed strong and found God through it all. She definitely was one of the fiercest fighters I read about last year!

4.) Am surprised that I love you??

This award goes to Hook from Neverland. I have always been more of a Peter pan gal 😜 but Hook from this book changed my POV. I was very surprised at how much I actually came to like his character and dislike Peter’s.

5.) Best Sassmaster

This award is a super easy one to hand out, Burndee from The Tales of Ambia gets this one. He was one of the sassiest character I read about last year. He was great, I loved him!! 😂😂

6.) Best Antihero

This award goes to Lord Ranulf from The Merchants Daughter. He wasn’t that much of an antihero but people definitely couldn’t see passed his scars and outward looks to get to his inner personality. He went through so much and could have become this hard, bitter man yet he didn’t because he was God fearing and came out to be just the man God wanted him to be!

7.) Best Friends of All Time

This award easily goes to Vee and Kenna from Doon. They are the dynamic duo. They are besties through everything and always have each others backs. I loved reading about their friendship!

8.) Best Villain to Hate

This award goes to the Dragon King in Tales of Goldstone Wood. He is so evil and cunning it gave me chills. Everything about him just screamed evil and darkness……….yuck!

9.) Award for Best vs Worst Parents YA Parents

The best YA parents award goes to Duke Wilhelm and Rose from the Hagenheim series. They are as good of parents as anyone could be blessed with!

The worst parents award goes to Vee’s parents or mom really, from Doon. Her mom I wanted to jump into the book and strangle her at times! She was so annoying and just a terrible, awful mom to Vee!

10.) Ships Of All Ships In 2018

The award goes to Mellie Blake and Tom MacGilliver from With Every Letter. They were just so cute and I was shipping them right from the beginning!! They just were so compatible and had a pure, open, honest, and Christ centered relationship! *sighs and tries hard not to fangirl*

11.) Most Precious Must Be Protected

This award goes to Wyatt Paxton from the Sea Before Us. He is precious and MUST be protected at all times!! I love him so much and I couldn’t handle it if something happened to him! I would flip out if something happens in the next two books!

12.) Honestly Surprised That You’re Still Alive

This award goes to Kade from Retrieve. He went through so much yet it is still alive. It honestly baffles me that he is breathing hopefully nothing happens to him in this next book or else I’ll freak!

13.) Award For Making the Worst Decisions

This award goes to Peter from the Montana Rescue Series. This guy continually throughout the series made bad decisions! I pity the guy……..

14.) Most in Need of a Nap

Valten from The Captive Maiden. This poor guy went through so much. He just needs to lie down and take quick snooze, hopefully nothing happens to Gisela while he’s snoozing. 😂😭😂

15.) Want to Read More About You

This award goes to actually a book couple, Magnus and Lark from A Bound Heart. I really, really want a sequel to this book! It was so good and I loved all the characters!!
