Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

 

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl.. This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list. 

1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice

 

This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing.

2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl

One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi because they balance each other out. Levi and Cath have some things in common when they date, but as the book goes on, you get to see them grow and bond with each other. I think their romance is so sweet.

3- Eurydice and Pheus- Never Look Back

 

I don’t see many people talk about this book, but it was one of my favorite books last year. If you’re familiar with the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice, you have a baseline for their story. Never Look Back is a modern-day version of the Greek myth, and it is lovely. I put these two on the list because they have the thrill of first love, and you get to see how much they love and care about each other.

4- Claudia and Gideon- Foolish Hearts

 

I’m rereading this at the moment, and these two are just so cute. They have little in common at the beginning of the book, but the two of them have a want to learn how what the other person’s hobbies and interests are. The scene when Gideon joins Battle Quest is so cute and heartwarming. 

5- Alex and Henry- Red, White, and Royal Blue

This is classic enemies or rivals to lovers romance. Not only do we go on a journey was Alex and Henry find love in the book, we see that the two of them find out more about each other as well. I just think these two are the cutest.

6- Simon and Bram- Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Leah on the Offbeat, Love, Creekwood

Okay, spoilers for The Simon Universe by Becky Albertalli ahead. I love Simon and Bram because they were sweet in the book from beginning to end. I feel for these two from their first emails when they were Jacques and Blue. As the book progresses, and we get to see the love of Simon and Blue develop over the course of the novel.

 

7- Chloe and Red- Get A Life, Chloe Brown

Oh man, this was my foray into adult romance and I loved these two. As a couple, they’re another one who starts out as not liking each other, and then as the novel develops, you see Chloe and Red find love. Red doesn’t care that Chloe might not be able to do everything a normal person could do, because of her chronic illness. Chloe and Red love each other no matter what, and I think that’s so sweet. 

8- Sophie and Wes- 10 Blind Dates

I see this book talked about some, but I still feel like it is a kind of underrated book, and we do not talk about the couple in this book about a lot. Sophie has recently broken up with her boyfriend Griffin, and she goes to her Grandmothers for the Holidays. Wes is the neighbor and watches her get set up on 10 dates over the course of the novel. From the beginning, it was said that the two of them would never date because it would ruin the friendship they had. This novel had several sweet scenes between these two, and by the end of the novel, I was applauding when these two got together.

9- Pepper and Jack- Tweet Cute

 

I read this book last year and the romance was the sweetest. I guess you could say that I have a love for characters who don’t really have a lot in common, and then as the book progresses, they learn more about each other, and find the love they’ve always had. The end of this novel was so sweet because they both put away their differences and had a love for each other’s company.

10- Annabeth and Percy- Percy Jackson Universe

I don’t think there is much to say about these two. I think the romance between these two characters over all the novels they’re in is just so sweet. From the early books, when they were just becoming friends, to the later books when they’ve known each other for a while. The characters are both so sweet, and I think they balance each other out really well.
