Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish. Book bloggers create their own lists based on the chosen topics and post links to our lists. It’s a way of all sharing our thoughts and our love of books. And who doesn’t love lists??
So this week’s challenge was to list the top ten books that make me swoon… The problem? I’m not really much of a swooner… So these may not be swoon-worthy so much as great love stories.
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak – Rudy & Liesel, young, innocent love…
- The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger – Clare & Henry throughout time…
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – Scarlett & Rhett – frankly my dear…
- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald – Daisy & Gatsby, poor, poor Gatsby…
- Fault in our Stars by John Green – Hazel & Augustus, so sweet & so sad…
- Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell – in all their quirky teenage wonderfulness…
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy – And her doomed love for Count Vronsky…
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte – Catherine & Heathcliff wandering the moors…
- The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein – The tree & the boy…
- Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare – Not my favorite, but how can it not be on the list???
