    You can't go wrong with any of Jane Austen's pairs! I only left them off my list of favorite pairs because I couldn't choose a favorite among them. :)

    All these Austen couple made me so happy. I'm also a big fan of Ari and Dante. Wonder if we'll ever get that movie.

      I think I should reread the book. It has been a lot of years since I read it and many of the details have faded.

    Love all the Austen picks! Cath and Levi are faves of mine as well, and Katniss/ Peeta as well. Fun list!

      I love the character of Levi in Fangirl. He is not your typical boyfriend from YA lit and that make him refreshing.

    We shared Jack + Ennis, Anne + Gilbert, and Ari + Dante. I can't believe I forgot Eleanor and Park! Augustus and Hazel are another good one. And of course, all the Austen. *sigh* I just had to go look up Where the Crawdads sing and add it to my TBR. For some reason, Raven Boys didn't do much for me. I am obsessively fond of Scorpio Races but haven't been able to get into any other Stiefvater books at all.

    Our CYBILS judging is DONE so now we are just eagerly waiting announcement day! Woo-hoo!

    Your list is sheer perfection! I'm so not a rebel, so I stuck with 10, but Lizzie and Darcy are an epic best choice (my would be #11), and Ennis and Jack are utterly, beautifully tragic, their love story haunts me.
    Thanks for stopping by my list:)

      Number 10, Eleanor and Park broke my heart. Park's parents were such good role models for relationships, too.

    Oh, #16 and #17 for me. I haven't finished "Where the Crawdad Sings" so that one was a bit of a spoiler. :)

    *Swoon* SO many favorites. I do love all the Jane Austen couples. They're always perfect together. Hazel and Gus are memorable as is also Anne and Gilbert, of course. :)

    Thanks so much for the visit last week, Anne; apologies for the delay in visiting your post.
