my fave couples of the year & inkcrush buttons

Okay ~ here's a quick impromptu post inspired by the lovely Alexa (of Not Enough Bookshelves) who is currently running her annual couples Christmas countdown ~ where she features all her fave couples of the year (and also hosts many guest posts chatting about their fave couples, etc)

Who are my favourite literary couples I met this year?

First, I am going to limit my choices to boy + girl couples. Also, going with my gut and first choices (if not I tend to over think these things)

Nico and Brooklyn from Chasing Brooklyn. You guys, they broke my heart. Such a pitch perfect building of their relationship. + Nico = simply gorgeous, one of my fave male characters of the year.





Oh, you know I can't go past Leigh and Nathan from Psych Major Syndrome. This is a ditzy Sophie Kinsella style new adult book, and I loved it so much. I know a lot of my love for it has to do with Nathan...







One of my FAVOURITE literary depictions ever of a guy and girl best friend all tangled up and unsure about making it something more. Grace and Eric from God is in the Pancakes really had me feeling the ache and tension.

For best sexual tension and sexy moments of the year ~ you've got to give it to Harper and Jake from Saving June. These guys were great together. Antagonistic, fun and smouldering, haha.

For general YA brilliance, swoon and fab relationship moments, I'm thinking EVERYONE who has read unearthly cannot go past Tucker and Clara in Unearthly and Hallowed <3

Rodden and Zeraphina - they were so much fun to watch in this paranormal fantasy (Blood Song). I grinned (and smirked) my way through this one and cannot wait to see more of them in the sequel (coming out next year).

Catcher is my fave of Ryan's boys ~ so I really loved watching Catcher and Annah in this instalment  Theirs is a complicated and messy relationship ~ fitting of the post-apocalyptic world they live in.

For some adult romantic suspense, Cameron and Jack had me grinning in the usual antagonistic-chemistry style showdown. This couple really heat up the pages ~ fun times.

And in the Christian fictoin scene. Woah ~ give it up for Salmone and Rahab. These guys are complicted, feisty, all jumbled up, gorgeous, heart-breaking and all round brilliant. LOVED them to pieces.





Okay, so I really have to stop here ~ these were the first ten that jumped out at me ~ below are a couple more books (but some of the couples are a surprise... so no spoilers) that had me grinning and cheering on. I really do suck at making lists :)

Who is your favourite literary couple you met this year? 

And...it's a few months off my 2nd blogoversary and I finally made a couple of buttons. I don't know why it took me so long to get with the program *grins sheepishly*

I made a few so you can choose whichever one you prefer, if you're interested in using my button that is...

Instead of me creating an html code thingy, please just copy and paste, and link my blog to the button/picture :)

I don't have anyone's buttons on my site yet (actually, it's not something I tend to pay attention to when I visit blogs, if there is a button or not... [great syntax, there]) BUT if you have a button, and would like me to feature it ~ PLEASE leave me a comment (and a link if necessary). I'll work on getting a page of blog buttons up :) It's on the Great Blogging To Do List ;)
