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.

This week's book or book series:
  


                                     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.

This week's book or book series:

               
                                                  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.
