First of
all I want to say Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. Here in Brazil we
celebrate this Holliday on June 12º.
But aside
from being Valentine’s Day, today is also Tuesday and what do we do on
Tuesdays? Yep, that’s right. IS MEME DAY!!!!!
Today
Cambria is giving us something romantic to babble about and I had a great time
coming up with this post.
I hope you
like it.
Who are
your favorite book couples?
Oh, my
gosh. I loved this question cose I’m a
sucker for book romance. Wait, let me take a breather first cose I’m kind of
hyperventilated with excitement here.
Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Ok, I’m a little better.
Lets get
this post going then.
My first
couple is Cathy and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. *Sigh*
They are so
in love and my eyes get tears just remembering their fate. Vengeance, love,
hate, torment. I love my romance the same way I love my drinks: Fiery, strong,
addictive and that leaves me with a bittersweet aftertaste that makes me want
more and more. For those that don’t know
the story, Heathcliff was a little boy that Cathy’s dad picked out of the
street. He fell for Cathy and their life was anything other than a turmoil from
start. They lose each other in midst of rage and misunderstanding. Can you feel the love? The tragic, stormy love
that leave you crying, broken and asking for more? Yep, I sure do.
My second
couple is Vlad and Mina from Dracula.
He
travelled oceans of time to be with his true love once more. How can anyone
resist such an undying love from an undying man? He is evil, ruthless, a murderer
that I’m unable to resist. I guess
everybody knows this love story, but in case you don’t, Vlad is this really
evil Romany Prince that when retunes home finds his Princess dead. She killed
herself cose she tough he was dead and simply couldn’t live on without him. He
decides to find her no matter what and bind himself with the dark side of the
force. He lives for centuries after her and then, one day, he meets Mina and
she is like a mirrored image of his lost love. I’ll stop here cose I don’t want
to make your life easy if you don’t know this story yet. Go read the boom or
watch the movie cose is sooooo worth it.
My next
loving couple is Kat and Bones from Night Huntress Series. Oh, they are
wonderful together and I love them with all my heart.
Kat is this
half vamp that thinks all vamps are bad and then, one fine night she meets
Bones. Oh, I can still remember her first words to him: “Want to fuck?” So
romantic. LoL
She tries
to kill him, he beats her head open, you know, the classic love story.
The best
thing about them is how they are soooo not perfect. They fight, they don’t get
along all the time, but they love each other so much that they would never try
to change the other. They love every little flaw and every little mistake about
each other.
This is the
kind of stormy, fiery love that makes the life or the undeath worth it. Love them.
For last
but not least. I give you Lara and Yuri from Doctor Zhivago.
I know, I know,
that’s not a book, but is such a heartbreaking love story that I couldn’t left
out of this post.
Zhivago
meets Lara, they feel something and then life happens. The war breaks out and
they keep missing each other. I mean, I was biting my fists for most part of
the movie from the tension. Their lives are constantly brushing each other but
there’s always something happens.
This is
tragic, I’ll not lie to you, but when you finish watching this you’ll have a
whole new way of seeing things. Yep, life changing stuff.
Well, this
was my post. I hope you like it and for more posts from this meme go to cambriahebert.com.

Ok trying again to comment. Great picks you went with some classics one of these days I need to read Wuthering Heights I tried once and didn't get into it. Maybe I was just too young. I knew you would pick Cat and Bones. Oh yes Prince Vlad and his lost princess..."I have crossed oceans to find you..." You are wrong Lila Dr. Zhovago is a book and I managed to read it in high schiool it is terribly long and complex and full of Russian politics but the ending when he has a heart attack on the train as he sees Laura for the last time....Great picks!
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha, oh Night Huntress is a wonderful series, you should read. But Bones is mine, so back off!!! LoL, just kidding,, well, no I'm not LoL,,
ReplyDeleteHi Cambria, you should, but just the series, cose, well, Bones is mine and all... You know how us vamps can be territorials and stuff.
ReplyDeleteAbout the tag,, thanx LoL, sounds a lot of fun. As soon as the Carnaval fever is over i'll post mine share and tag some people too LoL

Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteAbout Wuthering Heights, is kinde of slow in the beginning but as soon as the story, the real story starts it gets really good.After I finish it I reread the beginning and that made me understand things that had passed by me unnoticed in the first time I've read. Ilove this story and I had to read for my literature class, the literary circles. My friends were making fun of me cose I looked like Heathcliff's lawyer or something.Everyone say that he was evil and crazy and I kept defending him.My grade was high so I must had some really good points LoL
About Zhivago,I know there's the book, but it was soooooooo boring that I gave up.So my post speaks only about the movie. That's way I felt like cheating mentioning them. LoL
Some day I'll try to read it again, or not cose is really too detailed for my taste.
I want to read Anna Karenina, this one is calling me soooooooo much and I started, but faith keeps tearing us apart LoL
