2011 Swoontini Awards! Nominate now!

December 1, 2011 Lauren 57 Comments

Hi Swoonies! First: a little swoon…

WORD, PATRICK SWAYZE. SO MUCH WORD.

As the end of the year approaches, we both get a litttttttle bit sentimental. (it has nothing to do with the eggnog, we swear) We feel so much gratitude and love toward the YA community – we wanted to do something extra special for all of you. Two of our favorite things on the site are the Swoony Boy and Badass Chick features, and we get emails, tweets, and comments all the time asking us to feature characters from books we have not yet mentioned here. So we thought, WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO A SWOONIEST BOY OF YA 2011 AND MOST BADASS CHICK OF YA 2011! *highfive* No way have we covered all the good ones yet! Tell us who you loved!

[And because we have so much love for you, pretty readers, we figured we’d make it about loving you, too.]

There are TWO chances to win and here’s how it works…

Chance 1: NOMINATE. Tell us who made you swoon and who made you yell YOU GO GIRL. Enter up to THREE names for the Swooniest Boy of 2011 and up to THREE names for the Most Badass Chick of 2011 in the comments below** Everyone who comments will be entered to win this INSANELY. AMAZING. BOOK BUNDLE, that includes: A SIGNED Anna & The French Kiss (hardcover), Shatter Me (hardcover), Hourglass (hardcover), Divergent (hardcover), Unearthly (softcover), SIGNED Nightshade (hardcover), Crossed ARC, Legend ARC, and MORE!! IKR???? WE CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER!

Nominations will be open until December 15, 2011 at 10pm Pacific.

Chance 2: VOTE!!! We’ll take two days to compile all of the names, and voting will run from December 17-December 30. Cast your votes here, and (drumroll) everyone who votes will be entered to win a brand-spanking-new KINDLE TOUCH! *PARTY TIME*

this is exactly what we're doing. right now. JOIN US.

We truly adore you guys for coming here and reading our silly stuff and loving books as much as we do. We can’t wait to see who Badassed their way into your heart and Swooned you until you were weak in the knees.

**RULES: Characters must be from books published in 2011 and the book must be considered YA. You can define swoon and badass however you want, but if you want some help? The way we define swoony boys: they’re the ones who make you feel like your heart might explode out of your chest, the ones you can’t stop thinking about and literally make you feel lightheaded. Badass chicks are the ones we’d chase down and force to wear matching woven bracelets and beg to be our besties.** 

NOW GO NOMINATE! GET TO IT! WE LOVE YOU!

  9. Becci says

    December 1, 2011 at 11:29 pm

    Well how awesome are you two? Oh wait, I already KNEW that. But still, it bears repeating <3

    Okay, swoony boys. Do I get to give descriptions? Because you know I will! *coughwordycough*

    Alex – Delirium by Lauren Oliver: When he recites her 'How do I love thee?' from memory and she's never heard poetry. Picture me, in a puddle, on the floor.

    Adam Wylde – IIS/WSW by Gayle Foreman: Not only is he swoon city, but Foreman did a STUNNING job of writing in male PoV.

    And though I know he's already been covered, Four – Divergent by Veronica Roth: He's the ultimate in swoon. Between the tats and the fear sim and the… yeah, everything.

    Badass chicks.

    Tris – Divergent: She was, very quietly, a complete badass.

    Juliette – Shatter Me: She blasted through concrete and got Adam Kent with his shirt off. She rocks.

    Lena – Delirium: Okay, so she doesn't come off as totally badass, but by the end of the book, she SO earns the title.

    Okay, I'm done rambling. You're both lovely and I hope Santa is extra nice to you <3

    HELLO, my favorite purveyors of swoon!

    My boys:

    Cricket Bell. (Honestly, I just want to enter Cricket Bell three times. Can I do that?)

    Okay, fine. I'll toss in Alex from DELIRIUM and Cole from THE NEAR WITCH.

    My girls:

    Karou from DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE

    Kendall from CRYER'S CROSS

    Sophie from DEMONGLASS

    Come to meeeee, large pile of books… *grabby hands*

  13. Shay says

    December 2, 2011 at 12:44 am

    Damn. This is epic. I have read so many fantabulous books just this year that this could possibly be one of the most difficult challenges I have faced in my life. But alas…I must pick only three…

    Swoony Boy

    1. Adam Kent (Shatter Me) Come on! I think that I'm in love with a fictional character…

    2. Four (Divergent) The tattoos were enough for me.

    3. Cole <3 (Forever) Sometimes suicidal, drunk, and crazy can be good. Right? Ah. At least he's a werewolf! Sometimes bad can be just so good!!

    Badass Chicks:

    1. Evie (Supernaturally) Gotta love a chick with a pink, bedazzled tazer…

    2. Isabelle (City of Fallen Angles) Can you kill somebody in heels and a dress with multiple weapons? I didn't think so.

    3. Juliette (Shatter Me) She can punch a concrete wall and she gets to kiss lovely Adam K. I hate this girl! *Sighs*

    I'm going to submit this before I'm at the computer for yet another hour changing my mind. Best wishes to all the lovely nominees! 🙂 Sometimes I wish they had real awards for this instead of the AMAs or something! What about us book nerds? More excited then when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. JK!

  14. Anna says

    December 2, 2011 at 12:55 am

    You guyyyyys! This is an awesome celebration of me (as part of the YA community, of course.) 😉

    So this is tough. Really I have 5 non-negotiables from 2011 so far but for you ladies I will narrow.

    1. Tuckerrrrrrrrr! (Unearthly) He's a cowboy,y'all. I mean really.

    2. Adam (Where She Went) He's like how a rockstar would be in my dreams.

    3. Four (Divergent) He is badass. That is all.

    Girls

    1. Karou (Daughter of Smoke and Bone) Blue hair & wish beads, people.

    2. Alex (Ashes) She is refreshingly self-sufficient and confident.

    3. Tris (Divergent) She isn't my favorite character but there's no denying that she is bad-ass.

    Love you ladies.

    <3

  15. JennieE says

    December 2, 2011 at 1:31 am

    Boys:

    Four – Divergent – Bad ass and sensitive all at once

    Adam – Where She Went – the best rock star out there

    Akiva – Daughter of Smoke and Bone – too many reasons to name

    Tris – Divergent – turning her life around and taking that jump

    Karou – Daughter of Smoke and Bone – blue hair, artist, what a life

    Briony Larkin – Chime – taking care of business

  16. Tara says

    Swoony Boys (TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM)
    Jonah Griggs (Jellicoe Road)
    Finnikin (Finnikin of the Rock)
    Adam (Where She Went)

    And even though, I'm not done the book, I have a feeling I will want to add Akiva to that list very soon!

  17. Tara says

    December 2, 2011 at 1:38 am

    Ooops, Jellicoe Road wasn't published in 2011. Oh well, I was blinded by my soon. The publish date for Finnikin of the Rock changes everywhere I look, but I'm sticking with Finnikin and Isaboe. I'm going to exchange Jonah Griggs for Akiva. (Oh if only I could).

    OMG, WHY DO YOU LADIES ALWAYS MAKE IT SO HARD… (TWHS?)

    *runs to goodreads fave shelf*

    The Girlies (that kick serious ass):

    1) Tris- Divergent- Veronica Roth Because she literally kicks peoples' asses and can shoot a gun! (I'll always have a huge soft spot for tiny people that can get down with the biggest and the best. Small people can deliver deadly blows, too, yo.)

    2) Juliette- Shatter Me- Tahereh Mafi Because even if she has awesome powers, it's her inner strength and her ability to love through adversity that makes her truly kickass.

    3) Lola- Lola and the Boy Next Door- Stephanie Perkins Because she is who she is, even if being her means having to be a different person every day. How fun (and exhausting) would that be?! Creative people can always be my besties, except for when they're kissing Cricket, then I might have to accidentally push her over a bridge so I snuggle him while he cries for his loss.

    Swoonalicious Guys:

    1) Adam Kent- Shatter Me- Tahereh Mafi Because I can't possibly say his name with out dragging out all the syllables and adding a girly sigh & fluttery eyes at the end. It is physically impossible for me. Also because of his tattoos and how he is with James… UNF!

    2) Four- Divergent- Veronica Roth Because from the very first time that he touched her back while helping her out of the net, it was like an electric shock that moved from the words to my body. The tingles and their intensity only built from there every time they were together. Plus, there's something so sexy about a guy that loves a girl because of her strength, and pushes her to be stronger still. RAWR. Also, tattoos. (Yes, they do it for me.)

    3) Adam Wilde- Where She Went- Gayle Forman Because I'll admit that I'd be an insta-puddle for any guy that wrote a song for me, and he wrote a whole damn ALBUM about Mia. It might be cruel, but I think I'd swoon for a guy that was completely devastated over our breakup. There is sexiness in that type of need and want, and the way he shared his desperate vulnerability with the masses through his music. (I think I might have mental health issues.)

    *clicks post comment and runs away before I can change my mind for the 65498741564th time*

    *comes back and makes grabby hands at that ridiculously awesome stack of books* I want them all!!!

    Thanks for the giveaway! *crosses fingers*

  39. Kassiah says

    December 3, 2011 at 4:48 am

    Swoony boys you say? This is hard to choose, but i'll go with:

    1. Four (are you surprised) from DIVERGENT. He's a man of action and reduces me to a pile of goo every time he speaks.

    2. Jeffrey (yeah, I know you didn't see that one coming) from UNEARTHLY. He's looked over constantly, but he makes my heart beat faster.

    3. Widget from THE NIGHT CIRCUS. Okay, so it was a toss up between him and Marco, but since Marco kissed another girl, imma go with Widget. The boy has charisma. And he can weave a tale. *swoonysigh*

    Girls that Kick Ass:

    1. Tris from DIVERGENT. This girl takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin. I am proud of her for never stopping.

    2. Elisa from GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS. I might not have liked her, but she definitely was fierce.

    3. June from LEGEND. Not only did she totally kick ass, she didn't let her emotions get in the way of what she thought was right. Even though it was wrong. I love this girl.

    You're pretty. ♥

    My entry is for Sissy. Her votes:

    Swoony boy: Adam from Shatter Me

    Badass Girl (although her mother certainly does not allow her to say badass): Juliette from Shatter Me

    Her mother would like to register a complaint that if she had been doing the actual voting and entering, she is very sorry, but the Badass Girl would have been Bridget Liu from Possess, because hello, girlfriend took down demons and a Catholic priest with zero help AND while wearing bad plaid.

    Swoony Boys? And I can't say Four 3 times? *pouts*

    – Four- (Divergent) I will never stop swooning for him. Ever. His pretty, smart, sweet, and so strong! What's not to love?

    – Alex- (Delirium) Swooning for Alex is easy because of the way he swoons for Lena.

    – Etienne St. Clair- (feat. in Lola and the Boy Next Door) Do I really need to say more?

    Badass Chicks. This one is tough for me too.

    – Tris – (Divergent) She is the definition of badass chick.

    – Lena – (Delirium)

    – Karou – (Daughter of Smoke and Bone)

    OKay I'm going completely different here, adding a little different spice in the mix!

    Badass girl is Onyesonwu from Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor.

    Pancho Sanchez is my kick ass swoon boy, from Stork's The Last Summer of the Death Warriors.

    Different cultures with different punch!
