favourite couples in books // top ten tuesday


When it comes to romance in books, I can either take it or leave it. If it's done well, I'll eagerly jump on that 'ship, but if it's not... er, what's the point?! That being said, I'm a sucker for both fun, cutesy relationships and angsty, drama-filled romances alike. In fact, the more extreme the better!

This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is "Favourite Couples in Books", and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time for some swoon-worthy GIFs! (I had so much fun putting this post together!) 

So without further ado (and in no particular order), here are my favourite bookish couples! 

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, with a new topic to respond to every week.

    Amazing list! Like... are we the same person? Because I adore so many of these ships haha! Especially Magnus and Alec. I still need to catch up on the Shadowhunters books but seriously, they are the most precious, soft little beans and I love them. ♥

    Anne and Gilbert are forever and always a must OTP. This reminds me, someday I should try and read the books, because I'm 99% sure I haven't!

      Oh my goodness you have to read the books, they're so beautiful! But I absolutely love Megan Follows' and Jonathan Crombie's portrayals of the characters in the 1985 tv miniseries!

      They're so much better than Bella/Edward or Bella/Jacob! It would have been great to have a book about them instead!

    Cath and Levi yay!! And of course Kat and Peeta too. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are pretty awesome - for not having read the books I have loved their dynamic in all the different TV adaptations I've seen!

      Oh you have to read the book! But yes, the adaptations do an excellent job of bringing the two characters to life! (My favourite is the BBC miniseries starring Colin Firth.)

    Yeah, romance in books doesn't do much for me either, with a few exceptions. I'm more of a TV-shipping kind of gal. I just finished Pride and Prejudice, btw ;)

    I do like Cath and Levi, and Anne and Gilbert were good together too. I haven't read those books in years, although I inherited my Grandma's entire set (the ones I read when I was a kid).

      Oh that's really lovely! Anne of Green Gables is possibly my absolute favourite series so I'd love to be able to have a sentimental set like that!
