Sometimes I write about boys.

I don't have a lot of "celebrity crushes". 

Feasting your eyes all over Pinterest pins of shirtless men kind of makes me sick, especially when you think of how much it would hurt if we found men we love doing the same thing with pictures of celebrity women.

However, I have a few characters I love and swoon over often. I like characters because I have real reasons to love them because you get to know them throughout the course of a story. So without further ado,

Attractive Features Found in Emily's Favorite Character Men Crushes:

1. Tenderness

Oh, Ron Weasley. Just stop it.

2. A sense of humor

84.6% of the population knows how I feel about Jim Halpert. <3 <3 <3

3. Dedication

Aw. The Notebook. <3

4. Cute gazing

5. Passion for work/a cause

Yeah. I'm slightly attracted to Enjolras from Les Mis.

The end.

You should read this book.

I have almost finished this book, and when I do finish it, I want to flip back to the beginning and read it all over again. It's one of those books that you wish you could gobble up in 20 minutes so that you could soak in all the marvelous inspiration that's inside of it before you start your day. 

Stephanie Nielson is the blogger behind Nie Nie Dialogues. I have read her blog for a few years now. She has always been inspiring, but this book, learning about how she met her husband Mr. Nielson, and hearing every challenge that she overcame after her tragic airplane accident that burned 80% of her body, touches my heart, and I can see the ways that God blesses her every day. She is such a strong woman, and a wonderful mother. Reading her blog is even more inspiring after reading her story in depth. She is a superwoman. :)

If that didn't convince you, here is a video promotion for the book:

Read it! Read it! Read it!
And read her blog, too. :)
