Mr & Mrs: Who are your favorite book couples?
YOU. YES, YOU.
Sound familiar? Yes, one of my favorite book couples of all time is Jessica Darling and Marcus Flutie, from Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling series. Honestly, I think it's pretty much impossible to dislike this couple. (I LOVE THEM. No, seriously.) Or Marcus. I mean, really. Marcus is...perfection - every girl's dream (it's guaranteed that you'll swoon, no lie.). I couldn't get enough of him; I always wanted more. I could babble on and on about him, but I'll just throw a few quotes in here.
"IN OTHER WORDS, MARCUS, WE WERE PERFECT IN OUR IMPERFECTION."
"GONE FOR A WHILE
HOPING, ALWAYS, TO RETURN
IF YOU WILL LET ME"
Another favorite book couple of mine is Suze and Jesse from Meg Cabot's Mediator series. I know. Old school, right? But how can you not love that forbidden human/ghost relationship? They're one of the first couples I really fell in love with.
And, of course, I cannot leave out Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, from the Harry Potter series. They're both absolutely precious. Between his curious quirks, her tough lovin' and their combined compassion, they're a super couple always ready to bring relief.
These are just a few of my beloved book couples. I could go on, but that would take forever! (Plus I'd have a hard time getting myself to stop fawning over Mr. Flutie...)

My Follow Friday
I keep seeing the Jessica Darling series popping up everywhere! I think it's a sign that I need to read them.
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Have a great weekend!
I've only read the first three books of the Jessica Darling series, but Marcus and Jessica's relationship put hearts in my eyes. Marcus Flutie is really something special. Great picks!

I loved Megan McCafferty's Series :)
I hope I can be half the loving couple as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley when I'm all grown up! They are so perfect. I love how when you've been together forever you are simply content to be.
ReplyDeleteAw, I love Mr and Mrs Weasley! Somewhat overlooked as a couple I think, but they're completely amazing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat choices, especially the Weasleys!!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read Jessica Darling and the Mediator series already! I have them! I just need to read them!! Great list :)
ReplyDeleteTGIF!!
Jess @ Gone with the Words
The Mediator series! I remember that :). I still have it, I think, might re-read it now that you've reminded me! I loved Jesse and Suze. And of course, Mr and Mrs Weasley are a hilarious pair. Nice choices!
ReplyDeleteHi, new follower! Love your choices, especially Mr. and Mrs. Weasley! That is so funny! Check out my TGIF post on my blog! Happy Friday :)

I'm hopping by to tell you that I've got a wonderful giveaway going on at my blog, Readerbuzz. It's international! During the Readerbuzz July Giveaway I'll be giving away a $25 Amazon gift card! I'd love to have you stop in and throw your name in the hat to win!
ReplyDeleteMr and Mrs Weasley made my shortlist too, they are lovely, the right balance of humour and heartwarming. I haven't read the other books you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI need to read the Jessica Darling books because they sound amazing. Also, love the Weasleys. I picked some Weasleys, too, just not the parents. :)

Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm stopping by because I wanted to personally invite you to the 2011 Declare Your Independence Indie Author Giveaway Carnival at my blog, What Book is That?. A different indie author will be featured every day in July and new giveaways are going live almost daily- today's giveaway is for a $25 Amazon gift card!
I love, love, love the Jessica Darling series! I would literally laugh out loud when I was reading. And then I was jumping up and down when they finally got together! Great answer! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteCrystal @ Elegantly Bound Books
Hah! I totally thought about including Mr. and Mrs. Weasley!! Such a great couple <3
ReplyDeleteHopping through. Great that you thought of the Weasleys. They show how opposites not only attract but can work well together. And Ron and Hermione repeated that.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Suze and Jesse are quite popular. I almost want to add them to my list b/c all your blogs reminded me of how cute their romance was! Darn, I'm going to have to buy those books...
ReplyDeleteHappy hop!
