Booking through Thursday
Here's today's Booking Through Thursday. See the BTT site (here) for the full explanation and for other people's responses.
Name a favorite literary couple and tell me why they are a favorite. If you cannot choose just one, that is okay too. Name as many as you like--sometimes narrowing down a list can be extremely difficult and painful. Or maybe that's just me.Hummm, this is fun. And I know that with my first entry I'm beginning to sound like a broken record!
- Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy -- just because!
- Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane -- because I like the way their relationship developed.
- Roarke and Eve Dallas -- maybe because they need each other.
- Amanda Peabody and Radcliff Emerson -- because I love reading about them.
- Claire and Jamie Fraser -- need I say more?
- Sookie Stackhouse and Bill the Vampire -- because I seem to keep coming back for more.

I have never heard of any of them...
I must admit, other than the first, I'm in the dark too.
Eve and Roarke... **sigh**...
I may be the only non-fan of "Outlander" in the entire world, though. I bet Jaime and Clare show up more than once!
Thanks for visiting.
"Outlander" has been on my TBR list forever, just can't seem to get around to them...
I only recognize one of your couples.
Fun choices! Lord Peter Whimsey - I had forgotten about him!
And I forgot Peabody and Emerson!
Well, my comment was going to be the same as everyone else's in that I only recognize a couple of them! Which, is a bad thing, because now I want to go and read all about the ones I don't know. And I can't add to the TBR at all right now! I'm seriously suffocating! :)
Elizabeth and Darcy are from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Lord Peter and Harriet are from a series of mystery books by Dorothy Sayers.
Roarke and Eve Dallas are also from a mystery series -- by J. D. Robb.
Amanda Peabody and Emerson are from a mystery series by Elizabeth Peters.
Claire and Jamie Fraser are from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
Sookie and Bill are from a series by Charlaine Harris. These are basically mysteries and take place in Louisiana in modern times.
Oh I forgot about Claire and Jamie - how could I??
ohhhhhhh ... I really want to read the Outlander series.
Great list!

I don't know who they are...but I am sure they are great! I'll have to check out those books :)
happy thursday!
I am getting so many good ideas from these lists. I'm adding the Outlander series because I haven't heard of them before. I love Peabody and Emerson - I have to go find their books now because that's just the type of book I need right now.
Hahah, Wimsey and Harriet! I forgot about them too; I'll have to add them to my 'other worthy mentionables' list =]
I haven't read the southern vampire series, but i know the couple from the show First Blood...and so far, you are the first person i've come across to say sookie and bill. I always love finding new picks on the blogs!! :)

Ooohhh I forgot about Sookie!! I love that series. I have seen Pride and Prejudice show up on more than one list - I am probably the only person in the universe that hasn't read that book or seen the movie - I have got to change that!!!
I'm glad you said where they were from, because I only recognized Elizabeth and Darcy!
