Top Ten Tuesday – Some of My Favorite Friendships in Books
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is Favorite Character Relationships (These can be platonic or not. Romantic relationships, parent/child, siblings, family bonds, friendships, found families, pet/human, etc.). I decided it would be fun to share some of my favorite friendships in books that I’ve read. I love friendships that feel like family and I think most of these fit that bill. They might tease and give each other hell, but when it comes down to it, they always have each other’s back.
Some of My Favorite Friendships in Books
THE BOYS FROM THE BROMANCE BOOK CLUB SERIES
FINLAY & VERO FROM THE FINLAY DONOVAN SERIES

Ahh, the boys from the Bromance Book Club! I literally laugh out loud at some of their shenanigans, which I hardly ever do while reading!
I do too. They are so hilarious together!
Ryland and Rocky! I love them together. Also Pen and Eloise is a good one😁

I think Pen and Eloise’s friendship is my favorite part of that whole series.
Ryland and Rocky are a great pick! I loved their friendship.

That was one of my favorite parts of that book. 🙂
The friend group in the ACOTAR series… yes!! They were absolute squad goals. 🙂

Right? I would re-read that whole series just to experience that friend group again.
Definitely agree with Finlay and Vero, and the whole Ren Faire family from Well Met! Great picks!

Thank you! 🙂
The bromance in Bromance book club is fantastic! I loved seeing all those men bond and show their softer sides.
Same here. I loved how they would raz each other relentlessly but when it came down to it, they really were each other’s biggest supporters.
So many good ones here! I love seeing the Bromance guys, the Raven Boys, and the Well Met crew.

It really is a fun series.
I love the friendships in the Harry Potter series! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
They really are the best.
What great picks. As soon as I started reading this post, Finlay and Vero popped into my mind. I recognize 6 of these and totally agree.
Finlay and Vero were the first ones I thought of as well. 🙂
While I enjoyed the banter between Finlay and Vero, I just couldn’t get into the story.

Their friendship is probably my favorite part of that series.
Rocky and Ryland have been on lots of lists this week and no wonder, their friendship is something special. Same with Harry and Ron. Great picks!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
