My Favorite Bookish Couples

It's almost Valentine's Day!
No doubt your local Walmart has already decked itself out in pink and red hearts, flowers are on sale, and there is a lot of chocolate going around. Valentine’s probably one of my favorite holidays based on aesthetic alone. *throws pink glitter in the air*

I watch chick flicks and rom-coms and cheesy Hallmark movies but I'm not a huge fan of reading strictly romance genre books. But I do adore a story with a good romance as a subplot - you know the ones that have you screaming “I SHIP IT!!!” every time the characters are on the pages together?
Yes. I love it all.

So in honor of this love-struck holiday, I have curated a list of couples in books that I “ship” AKA hope against hope they end up together. (Because you asked for such a list of course. *wink wink*)

The couples I love:

Jack + Olivia (Olivia Twist)

Jenny + Gilan (Ranger’s Apprentice Series)

Taichi + Evalina (Within These Lines)

Natsya + Zash (Romanov)

Sage + Imogen (The Ascendance Trilogy)

January + Samuel (The Ten Thousand Doors of January)

Delia + Aidan (Rogue Princess)

The couples I would actually die for:

Sofie + Keefe (Keeper of the Lost Cities Series)*
Elisabeth + Nathaniel (Sorcery of Thorns)
Parvin + Solomon (A Time To Die Trilogy)**
Gifford + Jane (My Lady Jane)

BONUS: The couple I am expecting to love:
Cress + Thorne (Lunar Chronicles)***

I also majorly ship my own characters because whatever I write is canon. *insert maniacal author laughter here* I love my job. Someday I will share them with you and you can ship them too! ;) 

Who are some of your favorite bookish couples? I didn’t include TV or movie couples in this list but feel free to share those with me too! 

Sorry for a short post today but I hope you all have a lovely week and a great Valentine’s Day!
Until next time!

*Sofie + Keefe are not an official couple yet but it’s a ship that I am praying Shannon Messenger climbs aboard ;)
**I haven’t read the last book in the Out of Time series so pleeeaaase don’t spoil anything for me!!
***I have yet to read Cress but from what I’ve read about Thorne and what I know about Cress so far, I adore them. I wanted to put them on the list anyway *shrugs*
