Top Five Wednesday: Favorite Side Ships

My top favorite book coupling that’s not with the protagonist.

1.    Genya and David from The Grisha trilogy.  I have always enjoyed watching and reading about couples where the pretty girl is in love with the nerdy scientist who is socially awkward.  Genya is a Grisha and one of her powers is to alter your physical appearance, and David is a Grisha who only understands metal.  It’s when Genya is seriously injured by the Darkling and there’s a war going on, and when Genya accuses him of only noticing her because she’s not beautiful anymore, that’s when he kisses her for the first.  They had so cute together, and I like how it’s the beautiful who’s in love with the nerdy guy, not the other way around.
2.    Giles and Jenny from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.   It was so sad what happened to Jenny first time, and I wished this couple had more screen time.  This is another romance trope I like, when the one half of pairing came into the other’s life undercover, and fall in love.  I also like how just like the previous couple Jenny and Giles are complete opposites.  Jenny is computer aficionada and Giles is the shy bookman.  They are another cute couple that I enjoyed watching with what screen time they did have.
3.    Simon Lewis and Isabelle Lightwood from Mortal Instruments.  These two are so cute and like how Izzy is this sexy badass Shadowhunter and she falls for Simon, who is a bit of a nerd, though it helps that he become a vampire.  You can tell she loves him by the end of the series, and Simon as an individual character totally comes into his own by the end.  
4.    Alice and Jasper from The Twilight series.  Like Simon and Izzy these two are complete opposites.  Alice is very bubbly, sweet, and extroverted while Jasper is quiet, thoughtful, and introverted.  They balanced out and bring out the best in each other. They also have a great support system within each other.
Link and Ridley.  I don’t know if I’ll get around to the spin-off series, but these two are another cute couple.  As you can see, my favorite side ships are people who are complete opposites of each other, but balance each other out nicely.  I like how Link still loves Ridley and never gives up on her even though she’s a Dark Caster and does horrible things.  Ridley shows moments where she does care about him, like with Lena, when she tries to push him away, because she knows she’s too much of a dark

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3. ...

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like...
