TBR Top Ten Tuesday by A Book Wanderer

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Couples

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is Bookish Characters (these could be readers, writers, authors, librarians, professors, etc.)

Hello Readers! I hope you’re all well and safe. If you caught my Little Life Update, last week wasn’t my best. But I’m feeling much better and just in time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!

I’m not sure if it’s a new trend or one I’m just finally noticing, but I’m loving all the romances with bookish couples and settings. So I’m twisting today’s topic a bit to look at five books with literary couples I’ve read and enjoyed and five waiting on my to-be-read list. Let me know in the comments if you know of others I should add to my tbr! 😉

Let’s see what I picked!

Read and Enjoyed

  1. January and Augustus in Beach Read by Emily Henry – It seems like this is the book that kicked off the latest bookish couple trend, and there’s a reason why. For me it was a perfect book. (My Review)
  2. Athena and Thorne in Blame It on the Brontës by Annie Sereno – I adored this charming bookish romance set in a café! (My Review)
  3. Lucy and Joshua in The Hating Game by Sally Thorne – I just finally read this romance set in the publishing world and I could kick myself for waiting so long to pick it up. So adorable!
  4. Savannah and Will in Meet Me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson – A more recent romance set in the publishing world, this was the sweetest surprise. (My Review)
  5. Wendy and Riven in Home for Christmas by Camilla Isley – These two writers are forced to cohabitate along with their families over Christmas and hijinks ensue. (My Review)

From my TBR

  1. Nora and Charlie in Book Lovers by Emily Henry – I’d had plans to pick up Henry’s latest bookish romance in-store, but thanks to my bad week, I ended up ordering it. It’s supposed to arrive today!
  2. Lanie and Noa in By Any Other Name by Lauren Kate – This romance set in the publishing world about an editor and a writer with writer’s block sounds cute!
  3. Rosie and Jane in Read Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey – One of my Amazon First Reads choices, I have this romance about a bookstore owner falling for her favorite author penciled in to fulfill a Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt.
  4. Katrina and Nathan in The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka – I’m super intrigued by this romance about writers written by a husband and wife writing duo!
  5. Izzy and Beau in By the Book by Jasmine Guillory – I couldn’t help recently adding this one to my tbr after seeing so many of you enjoying it!

Have I included any of your favorite bookish couples? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Wandering!

  2. I haven’t read Beach Read yet but that was one of the first books I thought of for this week’s prompt. So many books on here that I can’t wait to read. Great list, Dedra! 😃

  3. I like the way you broke this up into read and want to read. I have many of these on my list too! I forgot about The Hating Game and Beach Read. I probably could have done a top 20!

  5. If I could think of one way to make a romance better for me, it is for it to involve bookish couples. You know I loved Brontes, and Beach Read, The Hating Game, and By Any Other Name were fabulous for me too. Now I want to scan my shelves for bookish couples.
