How Do I Love Thee?

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a Top Ten topic for you to create your list, then you share it on their post so others can find you. :)

Gansey & Blue ~ The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater


The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle, #1)

So, yeah. That's nine. For some reason that's all I got. I have wracked my brain into submission and it refuses to think of more. I keep telling it that it will be okay if it thinks more, but it's balking at the idea of more work, apparently. So I guess I'm ending it at nine, not ten. And I imagine there are tons more out there that I've read and fallen in love with so it's kind of depressing that I'm ending it. :(  Such is life. 

What romances have you loved? I'm sure as I'm visiting others I'll see some I wish I had added. So to those couples I left off, I apologize. Please forgive and know that I don't love you any less simply because I forgot about you. I promise.

Smiles,
B

  1. I didn't include Hazel and Augustus because they make me cry... but I keep seeing them on lists and now I wish I'd included them! I loved that book so much. Dash & Lily too! Great list!

    1. Yes, I can't imagine my life if I *hadn't* read The Fault in Our Stars. Hazel & Augustus should make everyone cry. At least once. ;)

      Thanks for stopping by!

    1. I am most definitely anxious to see what Lauren Oliver does with the Lena/Alex/Julian thing that is a triangle with Requiem! :)

  4. I was debating about whether I should have included Gansey & Blue on my list! Remy and Dexter were such a cute couple! They're my second favourite Dessen couple (Wes&Macy being my first!). I still need to read a lot of the books on your list, but now I'm excited about the romance in them :)

    1. Oh yes - Macy & Wes! *sigh* So many out there however can we remember them all! lol ;) The problem with adding Gansey and Blue is that they aren't quite a couple... yet.

  5. I wrote a favorite couple thing on my blog and really thought about adding Gansey and Blue but didn't, since they aren't together yet. But I LOVED that book. Raven Boys. It totally captivated me. Loved the characters so much that I spent two days depressed when i was done reading it. haha.

    And I really like your other choices as well. I haven't read all these books but I can tell by your list that we have really similar taste, so I'm gonna have to add a lot of these to my TBR list!

    1. Have you seen on Maggie Stiefvater's blog that she posted the cover and title for Raven Cycle #2? If not, you should check it out! :) I *still* think about Raven Boys nearly every day, so don't feel bad! :)

      Thanks for stopping by!

  6. I love Clary and Jace! I love them so much I can hardly explain it. And Augustus and Hazel are probably my favorite couple out of any I've read. Great list!
