In fact, if you did still want to join up (not that you have to at ALL, it's only IF)--you could totally put up a late post and just leave your link in a comment. I wouldn't mind in the least. :) But I'm really glad you enjoyed them all! :D<br /><br />I just read Wayne Thomas Batson's post about that yesterday! I had no idea he'd even been planning to write a sequel. O.O But it's about Cat and Anne so OBVIOUSLY I need to read it. Thanks so much for thinking about me, girl! <3<br /><br />*cries happy tears over Beast and Rose* (And I belatedly realized that Teague and Meridian completely deserve a spot on this list too.

I feel awful I never joined up with this DELIGHTFUL linkup series of yours, or remembered to comment, but I did enjoy reading them! :D So much fuuuun. ^_^ <br /><br />And I am mostly popping over here because did you know that there's another sequel to Isle of Swords and Isle of Fire??? I read Isle of Swords forever ago and oddly am having a difficult time remembering it myself (so you're not alone!) and I'm still dying to get my hands on Isle of Fire, buuut I saw some friends today adding a book on Goodreads which is a short sequel thingamy to the first two books and is called Isle of Stars and it JUST came out, so on the off chance that you didn't know about it yet, I just needed to tell you about it, especially as it is free on Kindle! :D *shares link* http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CIUFRC0/<br /><br />Anyways, loverly post, loverly couples, and BEAST AND ROSEEEEE!!!! <3 *loves them so much*Deborah O'Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969896655321575875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-64638559904277651502016-03-01T15:52:57.824-06:002016-03-01T15:52:57.824-06:00Isn't it splendid?

Hooray for DIOM and P&P!<br /><br />I really debated including Katniss and Peeta, but because I'm a *little* bit torn in regards to Gale, I didn't. XD I know Peeta's gentleness brings out the best in her, but I always felt sorry for how Gale ended up.

That is ...True, we all do it from time to time. :)<br /><br />That is an AMAZING deal. o.o I just went to the website now. With shipping, it would cost me $7.50 for one book. Phooey. That's still a better price than in a bookstore, but still. Anyway, I'm thrilled that you got so many of the books for such a great price! :D You'll have to tell me what you think of them!<br /><br />Too many books, not enough time. :)<br /><br />Aw, that's good.

(Like in my original comment on this post, I wrote "not" instead of "now." :P)<br /><br />I ordered all the ones that were on sale for 99 cents (2, 4, 5, 6) and book #1 because I wanted to be able to actually start reading them. I wish I could have gotten book 3 because I know once I start reading them that I'll be hooked. But ya know, I don't want to be TOTALLY broke so...<br /><br />I run into the same problem. I always want to reread books, but I have like a million new books that I want to read so it takes me forever to get back to my favorites. But I've read Isle of Swords three times and Isle of Fire twice because I love them so much. :)<br /><br />Aww, thanks, dearie! I'm feeling a little bit better now so that should hopefully make it easier to finish my homework.m a r y l i zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505343613442203117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-88776522025574890442016-02-21T17:02:32.198-06:002016-02-21T17:02:32.198-06:00Not to worry! ^_^

And oops, I realized I misspelled Marcelle's name by putting an A instead of an E at the end. :P<br /><br />O.O YOU DID? That's awesome! Which ones did you order?<br /><br />Cool. :) I need to read those yet.<br /><br />D'awww. Yet another series I'd love to reread one day. (I hardly ever reread books. There are just so many good new ones... But I miss all my old favorites.)<br /><br />Fun, fun! Looking forward to that! But oh, my Mary has a cold?

Walter and Ashley and Adrian and Marcelle are my two favorites, but I love them all. ^_^<br />Oh really? Haha, well you're welcome!<br /><br />I know, isn't it horrible?? I JUST received the books in the mail like 15 minutes ago, and I've been drooling over them because they look SO PWETTY.<br /><br />You're not alone! I've read all of the books (including the novellas) except the newest one, Deluge, which I just received for Christmas. (Oh, that was two months ago, wasn't it? Boy, does time fly >.>) <br /><br />Agreed! I re-read the ending to that book yesterday because I like it so much. XD<br /><br />Okay, good. I'm hoping to publish my couples edition sometime this weekend, although we'll see how that works out what with my cold and loads of geometry homework. THIS time I WILL use the picture, though!

Rich worldbuilding, intensely lovable characters, and beautiful allegory (not the kind that jumps around yelling, "Look at me, look at me, can you guess what I mean?" but the really GOOD kind).Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-16786840093341201432016-02-15T17:42:25.504-06:002016-02-15T17:42:25.504-06:00Totally agree!

But of course, I adore basically ALL her characters, and every book seems to equal or even outshine the last.<br /><br />I haven't read about any of those, sadly (except for Eanrin and Imraldera, of course), but I've been meaning to buy Five Enchanted Roses. I hear some of the couples in there are splendiferous. :DTracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-15733522546999017752016-02-15T11:45:02.804-06:002016-02-15T11:45:02.804-06:00It would be hard NOT to love Dragon and Rose!
YE...It would be hard NOT to love Dragon and Rose! <br /><br />YES. Oh yes, Eanrin forever! He's so awesome, Anne Elisabeth should write another book about him and Imraldera :D. <br /><br />Favorite literary couples, hmm ... well, I really like Makilien and Sirion from Molly Evangeline's 'Makilien Trilogy', and of course, as aforementioned, Eanrin and Imraldera. And then there's Bet and Corwin from Savannah Jezowski's novella. Oh! and Pepin and Cecilia from Kaycee Browning's 'Esprit De La Rose' (I don't know if you would quite call them a couple but ...). I could go on :D.

They're such a cute pair.<br /><br />That's them alright; they're on my list!! Because how could I NOT include the gruffest, saddest Dragon and his unflaggingly bright and magical Rose? <33333 So much love for those too! They deserve to be broadcasted to the world.<br /><br />Oh my goodness, Christine, Shadow Hand is possibly my favorite book of the series so far! You've read the first four, right...up to Starflower?<br /><br />Pshh, that's because some of them are rather obscure. XD But I won't hesitate to throw all those books onto your TBR pile!<br />Ohhh, if you enjoy time travel and romance, you would DEFINITELY like River of Time!

I wasn't particularly trying to go for unique couples, just ones that I loved exceedingly much, but I like that I accomplished originality at the same time. XD<br /><br />*chokes* XD Wellll, it's kinda true in a lot of romances these days! Blegh, apparently not just YA. Seriously, authors, couldn't you take some page-time to develop those relationships realistically? That's why I love Ann and Paul so much. Paul actually takes the time to find out more about Ann before pursuing her. He talks to people who know her, he finds out what she's like, etc., to decide if this is someone he could see himself marrying. Thank you, Dee Henderson!<br /><br />Oh, that'd be wonderful!

XD I'm glad you see it as an excuse for more fangirling, rather than as something redundant.<br /><br />I love Walter and Ashley too! Like I said, I could've made a list of just Bryan Davis characters. Elam and Sapphira, Nathan and Kelly, Adrian and Marcella... the list goes on.<br />It was actually your post that reminded me how much I love Jane and Bingley, so thank you!<br /><br />THEY ARRRRE. <3<br /><br />*gasp* You mean you haven't read any Goldstone Wood books?? MARY HORTON, THIS SITUATION MUST BE FIXED. 99 cents--that's incredible.<br /><br />Yay, I'm not the only one who's read River of Time! Have you read those novellas that come after the trilogy? I haven't gotten my hands on those yet...<br /><br />"Adorable much," indeed! That's got to be one of my favorite endings. ^_^<br /><br />Hey, no problem at all! It's not really a 'rule.'

I think I'm due for a reread of all 12 books this year. :)<br /><br />They are so perfect! It really says something that you love them without having read Burning Thorns. ;D<br /><br />EANRIN FOREVER. He's just one of the best characters ever to exist.<br /><br />Yes, read both series! Isle of Swords/Isle of Fire are awesome books and some of my favorites of Batson's work. River of Time is also excellent, as long as you're cool with romance.<br /><br />Thanks so much, Savannah!

You are a mind reader!! I am not ...This is uncanny. You are a mind reader!! I am not even sort of kidding when I say literally just a couple days ago I was thinking it'd be cool to make a list of my favorite book couples for a blog post. O_____O THIS IS PERFECT. It gets weirder though. As I was wondering who were my favorite couples, Cor and Aravis immediately came to mind, and I thought I should share the very snippet you did from the book. That's my favorite part of the entire Narnia series. It's just so hilarious and great. XD Best couple ever! Lol.<br />But anyways, our brain twin level is getting SCARY. (I love it.)<br /><br />This post is just the best. I could gush over fictional couples for days.<br /><br />So much yes to Billy and Bonnie! You gotta love those precious babies.<br />Mr. Bingley and Jane are ADORBZ. I feel like their romance is always shadowed by Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth's. But I mean, COME ON. Look at them! Mr. Bingley's smiley persona is too adorable, and Jane is just so NICE. Gah! Love 'em!<br /><br />Is that...that...?<br />*falls over and dies*<br />*revives*<br />*blinks*<br />*dies again*<br />THAT IS THE DRAGON AND ROSE. YOU PUT MY DRAGON AND ROSE.<br />*DIIIIIIES*<br />I FEEL SO HONORED I JUST CAN'T. THANK YOOOUUUU!!!!! I'm thrilled you loved the food fight scene! Even after writing an entire novel, it's still to this day my favorite part between those two.<br />YOU'RE JUST SO NICE I CAN'T EVEN. <33333333<br /><br />Eanrin and Imraldera!!! YES. I haven't even read Shadow Hand and I adore those two. I NEED to read the rest of the series. I just love them so much!<br /><br />I'm ashamed to say I haven't read (or even heard of some) of the rest of the books on your list. But these all sound like such great couples! And I've been eyeing the River of Time series for a while now. Is it any good? I've seen mixed reviews, so I can never decide if to give it a shot or not, but that adorable snippet is piquing my interest very much! Did you like the books?<br /><br />Obviously I will HAVE to participate in this! I love it so much. (And I'm totally doing the cover/title one as well!)
