My Book Boyfriend #12: James Carstairs

A weekly meme, hosted by The Unread Reader, in which we swoon over boys in books!

This week's book boyfriend is
James Carstairs

JEM

from
The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

After reading the Clockwork Prince, I have decided that Jem is the one for me. He's everything I want in a book boyfriend. Jem is portrayed by Mitch Hewer.

Facts about Jem:

• Half Chinese, half British
• Gentle, kind, and intelligent
• Pale. Silver hair. Silver eyes.

Favorite quotes / scenes:

(I am aware that Clockwork Prince has just been released. That's why all my quotes come from the first book. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. Read my spoiler free Clockwork Prince review HERE.)

“Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.”

“Well, I don’t want you to die,” Tessa said. “I don’t know why I feel it so strongly - I’ve just met you - but I don’t want you to die.”
“And I trust you,” he said. “I don’t know why - I’ve just met you - but I do.”
