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

                                     Divergent

                 My Favorite Couple From Divergent

                                 Tris & Tobias

I really like Tobias and Tris together. They are really cute. In Divergent, I liked how their feelings for one another developed slowly and surely. I think the romance between the two of them is the best part in both Divergent and Insurgent, and I cannot to see what happens to the two of them in the next book! I especially like how their relationship feels real. They don't always get along perfectly and they are not always lovey-dovey to each other. They fight, they get into arguments, and they experience real things that real couples go through. I love that. Those parts only make me enjoy the lovey-dovey parts even more than I think I would have without the arguments. The thing I especially like about their relationship is that Tobias does not feel the need to protect Tris. He knows that she can take care of herself, and that she is strong. He respects her for that. 


What's your favorite ship from Divergent? Comment below, or if you have a blog, post your link!

This week's Top 10 Topic is:

Top 10 Books Written In The Past 10 Years That I Hope Are Still Being Read In 30 Years

This is a hard one! I've only become a massive reader in the past 12 months, so I haven't read as much as I would like to admit. I definitely have read books before I became an obsessive reader, like Harry Potter & The Clique Series though. With that said, I'm only going to list 5 books that I hope are still being read 30 years from now.

Here is my list:

1. Harry Potter Series

I've always thought that the Harry Potter books would one day become classics. If they don't already (and I'm sure some do), schools will one day require their students to read two or three of them. The Harry Potter series is the type of series you don't see more than once in a lifetime. Harry Potter is truly original and I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon even though the books and movies are now done. If I ever have kids, I'm definitely going to make them read at least the first book.

2. The Hunger Games

Nobody should be two surprised by this. I love The Hunger Games. I'm not listing them just because they are extremely popular or because I love them so much, I'm listing them because I truly believe that 30 years from now, people will still be reading them. They hold an important message about society, and since they take place in the future, they won't really be outdated 30 years from now.

3. Divergent

Like The Hunger Games, I believe that the Divergent books have a very important message to them. Also, like The Hunger Games, they cannot become outdated ever because they take place in the future. Besides that, the books are amazing & I highly recommend them. 

4. Delirium

I am repeating myself over and over again for each book, but Delirium has an important message to it that I believe future generations should know about. The whole concept of a country without love is very mind boggling, and an interesting topic to talk about. Not only that, but this book is so beautifully written, I would be surprised if this book isn't still read 30 years from now.

5. The Maze Runner

I seriously am being repetitive, but I mean it every time. This book is so original and so unique. I also don't think it will be outdated either. By the way, I haven't read the last two books yet, so SHHH! don't write about them in the comments, PLEASE!!
