Road Trip Wednesday

 

YA Highway's ROAD TRIP WEDNESDAY TOPIC: favorite literary couples. you know -- the ones you like apart, but LOVE together!

First and always: Pride and Prejudice ...I just love smart girls and the reformed bad boys they learn to love.

The DUFF (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) ...and a cynic with a misunderstood bad boy.



So Yesterday ...Then there's a cool magnet with the just plain cool...a good combo.

Losing Faith And no slightly rebellious girl should underestimate the appeal of a shy guy.

Then there's two academics uncovering a historical
literary romance...what's not to love.
Possession 

Finally, I head back to the strong-willed heroine and her bad boy with a heart of gold...

Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1) Ah, romance...I love, love, love it!

What About you? Who are your favorite couples?

  2. Wow, I haven't read many of the books on your list. I've only heard amazing things about The DUFF, so that's in my TBR pile. And Wicked Lovely is on my must-read list. But now I'm adding So Yesterday and Losing Faith, too. Thanks!

  5. Elizabeth and Darcy are definitely #1! I've never read Possession, but I think I need to. That cover (and your mini description) are swoon-worthy!

  18. For all those interested, POSSESSION is a fantastic read.

    And so glad there are other SO YESTERDAY fans out there. I enjoyed that book almost as much as his UGLIES series.

  19. Seth is such a hottie!!! My fave Austen couple is Emma and Mr. Knightly. I love the BFFs-turned-lovers aspect of their relationship. :)
