  • Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
  • Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.

The theme for this week is:

12th February: Favourite Couples in Books

Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell in Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco

Even though their romance was a slow burning one and there was A LOT of flirting before, when they FINALLY got together, I was so happy!

Read my review of Stalking Jack the Ripper

Read my review of Hunting Prince Dracula

Read my review of Escaping from Houdini

Jamie Campbell Bower will forever be my Jace

Clary and Jace in The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

I can’t just NOT include Clary and Jace in this list. The first time that I read TMI was when I was 14, and it was one of the first YA romances that I ever read about.

But then these two are the much better Malec in my opinion. Please don’t @ me.

Alec and Magnus in The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare

Same as above, but it was the first gay romance that I ever read about. I still love these two together to this very day.

Hazel and Gus in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

These two just break my heart. Enough said.

Henry and Percy in The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

The banter between these two is just incredible! But I also can’t get enough of how much they love and care about each other. They will walk to the end of the earth for the other and I just…. uggghhhh… so cute.

*Fun story: I typed in Henry and Percy on Google to find images and Thomas the tank engine came up. It’s safe to say that I snorted with laughter.*

Lei and Wren in Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

Girls of Paper and Fire was one my favourite books of 2018 for many many reasons, but one of them was due to the incredible romance between Lei and Wren. I can’t wait to read about them even more in book number 2.

My heart hurts just seeing them together

Simon and Bran in Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Again, I don’t know how I can write a list of favourite couples without including these two. Everyone who read/watched Simon vs. fell in love with the cute romance that these two have and how much they love each other.

Alana and Marko in Saga by Brian K. Vaughan

Saga is one of my favourite series of all time and Alana and Marko are also the ONLY adult couple on this list which is crazy. Just shows which genre I read the most of… Alana and Marko have been through so much together, but they love each other so fiercely. Brb, just going to go and cry in a corner…

Ronan and Adam in The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! MAGGIE HAS RELEASED THE COVER AND TITLE FOR THE DREAMER TRILOGY AND I’M SO EXCITED! Ronan is one of those characters that I love so much. And even though Adam had his moments where I really didn’t like him, these two are just too precious.

Lou and Robert in A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood

These two are probably one of the more unknown couples but anyone who has read A Sky Painted Gold will understand why I ship these two so hard. They are caring, and they listen to each others problems and even though they are such an unlikely couple, I really do love them together.
