Hi and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday- a weekly event hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Follow this link for more info =)
This week's theme is Favorite Couples in Books. Anyone who knows me is aware how big of a shipper I am. I'm a huge romantic and eventhough I am severely lacking an epic romance IRL, I do live a swoony, toe-curling and exciting romantic life thru books. (Movies too but that's another story for another day.) Below I am listing my absolute favorite OTPs. The ships that destroy all other ships. The kind that I will forever hold my future relationships in comparison with, lol.
Drumroll please!
1. Tobiah & Wilhelmina
“We keep drifting toward each other.” Tobiah’s eyes were steady on mine, so familiar in the faint light. “No matter the masks we wear, we always end up together.”
“I’m tired of wearing masks.”
“So am I.”
For a moment he was silent. Then, "You," he said, half reluctantly. "You make me laugh. From the moment you hit me with that bottle."
"It was a jug," she said automatically.
His lips quirked up at the corners. "Not to mention the way you always correct me. With that funny look on your face when you do it. And the way you shouted at Gabriel Lightwood. And even the way you talked back to de Quincey. You make me..." He broke off, looking at her, and she wondered if she looked the way she felt - stunned and breathless.
3. Ash & Meghan
His forehead bumped softly against mine, his brilliant silver gaze searing into me. “I plan to keep you, from everyone, for as long as I’m alive. That includes Puck, the false king, and anyone else who would take you away.”
One corner of his mouth quirked, as I struggled to catch my breath under his powerful scrutiny. “I guess I should’ve warned you that I have a slight possessive streak.”
4. Khalid & Shazi (The Wrath and the Dawn, Renee Ahdieh)
'The scent of lilacs in your hair is a source of constant torment. I despise figs. Lastly, I will never forget, all the days of my life, the memories of last night— For nothing, not the sun, not the rain, not even the brightest star in the darkest sky, could begin to compare to the wonder of you.'
5. Day & June
“You drive me insane, June,” he murmurs against my hair. “You’re the scariest, most clever, bravest person I know, and sometimes I can’t catch my breath because I’m trying so hard to keep up. There will never be another like you. You realize that, don’t you?”
6. Miles & Eleanor
6. Miles & Eleanor
His heart beats rapidly against mine, his mouth skimming along the side of my neck, melting me into a gooey puddle on the floor. Just when I’m near explosion, his lips touch my ear. “You drive me crazy. You know that, right?”
7. Elian & Lira (To Kill a Kingdom, Alexandra Christo)
I reach out my hand to pull her up, and the look Lira gives me is nothing short of poisonous.
“Do you want me to chop it off?” she asks.
I keep my hand hovering in the space between us. “Not particularly.”
“Then get it out of my face.”
8. Po & Katsa (Graceling, Kristin Cashore)
"I love you," he said. "You're more dear to my heart than I ever knew anyone could be. And I've made you cry; and there I'll stop."
9. Tarver & Lilac
“You're you,' he repeats, his eyes full of grief. 'You're the same girl who crashed on this planet with me, who I dragged through forests and over mountains, who climbed through a shipwreck full of bodies to save my life. You're the same girl I loved, and I love you now.”
10. Zach & Cammie
“You need a coat,” Zach told me an hour later. Then he took off his own jacket and slipped it around my shoulders. Because even major security threats of global proportions couldn’t stop my boyfriend from being pretty much the sexiest guy alive.
What'd you think? Who are your favorite couples? Do we share some favorites?
Share your thoughts below! I'd love to hear from you! =)
I can't have a Tessa and Will without Jem. It was quite possibly the only love triangle where I loved both guys and wanted her to be with both... I guess it worked out in it's own unique way but it broke my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt was heartbreaking. I was still thinking about it days after I finished the book.
DeleteThanks for stopping by =)
Ash and Megan were meant for each other for sure.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Yes! These two are just <3 <3 <3
DeleteI've been hearing so much about Elian and Lira, I really need to read To Kill a Kingdom soon!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/02/12/top-ten-tuesday-198/
It's so good! I highly recommend!! Hope you get to read it soon =)
DeleteI haven't read any of these books yet, but they do sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I hope this post was enough to convince you to read a book or two =)
DeleteDay and June... yes yes yes yes! I haven't read the books since last year (although I will again before Rebel comes out) but that quote just gave me the chills again, LOL. It makes me want to drop everything and reread it, and then drop writing my book and work on my Legend fanfiction, LOL. But I really shouldn't. I want to start querying this summer, and the book won't edit itself.
ReplyDeleteI also love Will and Tessa together. Jem and Tessa were okay, and I like how everything turned out for them all, but Will/Tessa will always be my favorite ship in that triangle thingy.
Same! I'm actually planning on re-reading the trilogy again! Hopefully, soon! And OMG YES. Will and Tessa is my absolute favorite ship too!
