RTW -- Favorite Pairings

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

This Week's Topic:
Who are your favorite literary couples?

It was hard for me to narrow them down, but here are some of my favorite literary couples...

Eric + Britney
This was one of my favorite couples from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I rooted for them through every book and I loved that no matter what happened, they always seemed to end up together again.

Cabel + Jamie
From the Wake series. I cheered for them through all three books. They were perfect for each other and even though their relationship had problems, they worked through them.

Lupin + Tonks
There two are and will always be my favorite Harry Potter pairing. Well...my favorite canon HP pairing anyway... I was always a huge Lupin and Tonks fan and I loved them both even more when they were finally together.

Alanna + George
From Tamora Pierce's Lioness quartet. I loved Jonathan and Liam, but George was always my favorite of Alanna's possible love interests.

Aly + Nawat
From Tamora Pierce's Daughter of the Lioness series. I fell in love with these two from the beginning and never stopped rooting for them.

I don't know most of these, I'll have to fix that! You hit the nail on the head with Lupin and Tonks. A fantastic romance.

I haven't read Tamora Pierce, but I'm adding those books to my need-to-read list.

I haven't read any Tamora Pierce in a long time--I may have to go back and revisit my favorites. :)

And Lupin and Tonks, YES.

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no
