"I will go down with this ship, I won't put my hands up and surrender."

"Shipping" is something that happens in pretty much every single fandom, whether it's friendly or romantic, shipping happens everywhere these days. (I'm going to admit that as much as i hate the term shipping i can't help wanting certain people to be together.) So I figured that I'd talk about some of the "ships" I have from books.

Jace and Alec - The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
This is one of the ships that I'm going to mention that isn't a romantic one. I love the brotherly friendship that Jace and Alec have, Alec might be in love with him (and I could kind of get on board with that) but these boys would die for each other. They're my two favourite characters in this series and I just love them. (Just in case you're wondering I decently romantically shop Jace with me ;] )

Anna and Seth - The Winter Trilogy
Ugh I love Anna and Seth more than basically every other couple ever. They're so wonderful and great together, and A Witch in Love kills me a little bit. Can I be Anna? Or can I just have a Seth? Thanks.

Katniss and Peeta - The Hunger Games
If you don't read this trilogy wanting these two to get together in the end - you confuse me. They go through so much together and they make each other better people and I just think that if any two people were to ever be together in the end of a book series it should definitely be these two. 

Hazel and Augustus - The Fault in Our Stars
Oh come on who doesn't ship this? Most perfectly written book/love story/characters ever. 

Light and L. - Death Note
I don't care, I want them to just be locked in that hotel room and just let them get on with stuff. Just saying that I would read that book...

Ethan and Lena - Beautiful Creatures 
Eeep. I just kind of love them together okay? They're a pretty adorable couple and I love Ethan a whole lot and just yeah I love them a lot together. 

Ron and Hermione - Harry Potter Series
The worlds most wonderful couple award goes to... I just love these two together. I love their whole story, and come on who didn't cheer a little bit when they finally kissed?! The best and most wonderful couple to ever come out of a book series. 

Harry and Luna - Harry Potter Series
(Please don't kill me for this one?) I just love them, Harry was really the only one who saw how nice/wonderful/cool Luna was and I just think they would have been a great couple. 

And finally, because why not throw out a completely different one?

Harry and Draco - Harry Potter Series
I'm pretty sure these two have more fanfic written about them than any other couple ever? And honestly I just ship Draco with me (along with Jace obviously...) but I think everyone has that one 'ship' that they have buried deep down that they're not quite sure why they ship it or when they started but they've kind if just accepted it - that's Drarry for me...

"Maybe okay can be our always?" "Okay."

The Fault in Our Stars
John Green

As is custom with John Green books, The Fault in Our Stars is composed of beautiful language, wonderful characters, and the ability to make you laugh and cry on demand.
I thought that reading another book about a girl with cancer would leave me underwhelmed as there’s only so much you can do with that storyline. Oh how wrong I was. All the characters in this book made me feel something and the relationships between Hazel and the people in her life are all written so perfectly that it makes you feel…well it makes you feel everything that Hazel does.
Hazel Grace and Augustus have one of the most beautiful written and heart breakingly wonderful relationships that I have read in a long time. Everything about their relationship is honest, emotional, funny, and their story is definitely one that no matter how many times I go back and read it will leave me feeling happy, sad, and basically feeling everything.
John Green is undoubtedly one of my favourite authors, and this book cements the reasons why he should be considered one of the greatest authors we have.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading, and everyone with a love of language. Great read. DFTBA.
