It is a way to get to know your follow bloggers & get more traffic on your own blog! If you have a book blog, you can definitely participate! If not, you can still post your answers below in the comments!

This Week's Top Ten Tuesday Topic is:

Top Ten Book Romances That You Think Would Make It In The Real World (outside the book)

I'm guessing this topic is referring to the top ten couples that would make it in the real world, outside of the world in the book. i.e. Jace & Clary making it in the real world outside of the world of shadowhunters, faeries, werewolves, vampires, etc. or Ron & Hermione making it in the real world outside of the magical world of witches and wizards. So here are the top couples I think would make it in the world if they were real people:

1. Jace & Clary--Mortal Instruments

2. Ron & Hermione--Harry Potter

3. Lena & Alex--Delirium

4. Ian & Wanderer--The Host

5. Tobias & Tris--Divergent

6. Adam & Juliette--Shatter Me

7. Jared & Melanie--The Host

8. Liz & Owen--Elsewhere

9. Will & Ronnie--The Last Song

10. Josh & Emma--The Future of Us

Ship Sunday--Hunger Games

This week's book or series:

                        The Hunger Games

                       By: Suzanne Collins

My favorite couple from The Hunger Games:

Peeta & Katniss

I love Peeta and Katniss together. I wanted them to get together since the very beginning of the first book. Opposites attract. They are so different from each other, yet so perfect for each other. They both experienced two games of the Hunger Games. They were both willing to die for the other multiple times during both games. Not many people who experience the Hunger Games are willing to die for another person in it. They were truly the only two people each trusted. Katniss only completely trusted Peeta and Peeta only completely trusted Katniss. I really love the two of them together. They are definitely one of my favorite fictional couples ever.

                                                  My Favorite Couple from Matched:
                                                                Xander & Cassia

My favorite ship from Matched is the one least likely to end up together: Xander & Cassia. It's not that I don't like Ky, I do like Ky. I also don't like Xander that much more than Ky (I like both guys), it's just that I like the whole "ending up with your best friend" type of thing. It's what I want in real life. I want a guy who becomes my best friend to become my boyfriend, and then we end up married. I think that sounds so cute.

This week's book or book series:

Delirium

By Lauren Oliver 

                     

            

                   

                                                     My favorite ship from Delirium:

                                                                Alex & Lena


I love Alex & Lena together. I knew almost instantly that Alex was going to be the one she ended up with as soon as Lena saw him in the lab when she was getting tested. They are really good together. Alex has helped Lena so much in learning that love is not a disease. If it weren't for him, she would still be in Portland, cured, & stoic. I definitely think that the two of them will end up together at the end of Requiem. I can't wait to read that book!

Ship Sunday--June 3, 2012

Ship Sunday is a new weekly blog hop hosted & created by Emily @ Emily Hearts Books. Each week a book or a book series will be listed & I will discuss my favorite "ship" from that book or book series. I'm not referring to your typical ship on water type of thing.  So what ship am I referring to? According to Urban Dictionary, a "ship" can be a noun or a verb. 


Noun: Short for relationship, popularized in fanfiction circles.
Verb: To endorse a romantic relationship


So in other words, a ship is fictional couple in which you support in a book or series. For example, (noun) I love the Ron and Hermione ship OR (verb) I ship Ron and Hermione. 


It's as easy as that. But, if you are still confused check out the Wikipedia page for "shipping (fandom)". Whoever created that page did a great job.


This week's book or book series:
            

           

 Harry Potter by JK Rowling 


My favorite Potter ship:

Ron & Hermione

Ron & Hermione were the first fictional couple I ever shipped & I shipped them hard. I remember years ago before I read book 4, my brother telling me that Ron had a crush on Hermione & being completely shocked! When I read it, I never caught on to the fact that Ron did like Hermione. I didn't read in between the lines. I don't remember when I finally realized it, but suddenly I became a huge Ron & Hermione shipper. When waiting for book 6, I read Ron & Hermione fanfiction like it was my job. I read it a lot. So much, that my mom told me to stop reading them! I truly was obsessed. I remember wondering if they were going to get together in book 6 or 7, wanting them to get together in book 6, but thinking that they wouldn't get together until book 7 (which of course they didn't get together till book 7). I continued reading fan fiction & coming up with my own in my head after reading book 6 wondering when in book 7 that they would finally get together. I predicted that they would get together at Bill & Fleur's wedding, but I was wrong. I remember getting a little upset when they didn't get together right away while reading the book. Chapter after chapter after chapter. Then, finally, on page 625, they kissed! I was so happy! I started doing cartwheels around my living room. Yes, I was that happy. 


I still like Ron & Hermione together. I think they are cute. I used to say that they are the best fictional couple ever. However, now, after reading several other books, it would be hard for me to pick one ship/couple that I prefer over the other.

Fictional Couples

As some of you may or may not know, I love romance! Romance is probably my favorite element of a good book. However, in some books, the romance doesn't work (at least not for me), but that's a different story. In this post I will list fictional couples that I prefer. Some I obviously like more than others (the ones in red are the ones that I LOVE, those in bold but aren't red are ones I like but don't love obsessively, & the ones in that aren't either are the ones that I'm okay with--if they end up together, great! If not, who cares?).  I'm also not going to discuss whether or not these couples actually end up together or not (some don't). In some cases (those of which have more sequels coming out) nobody knows if these couples will end up together in the end.

Divergent

Tobias & Tris

Harry Potter

Ron & Hermione

Harry & Cho OR Harry & Luna

Luna & Neville

The Hunger Games

Katniss & Peeta

Gale & Madge (kind of)

Finnick & Annie

Delirium

Alex & Lena

The Insider Series

Riley & Trella

Scorpio Races

Sean & Puck

Matched

Cassia & Ky OR Cassia & Xander

These are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I will post another list at the end of the summer after I read more books.

                         The end of the series! Literally the last page of Mockingjay.

Of course, I love ALL of the romance between Katniss and Peeta but the ending was the best part! I was a little disappointed though that Katniss didn't pick Peeta till the very end and that it didn't go into very much detail. It just gave a brief explanation as to why she chose him over Gale. I would have had it be a more detailed scene. Hopefully it will be better in the last film, but who knows? Oh, well. Just as long as she ended up with him. That's all that matters.

PS-I don't know if I will have time to discuss the movie until this summer. We'll have to wait and see.
