Side Ships/ Top 5 Wednesday

Side Ships/ Top 5 Wednesday- June 14th 

Top 5 Wednesday is a group created by Lainey of Ginger Reads Lainey on Booktube and is now hosted by Sam of Thoughts on Tomes on Booktube. Here is a link to the group on Goodreads if you are interested in joining:
This is a post fully on relationships in books so this may contain some spoilers from books you may have not read yet. If you have not read any of these books before and don't want to know any of the side relationships in them do not read about the book.

140505.) Gomez and Clarise from The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenger: 

These are two of the best friends that Henry and Claire have in the book. I always liked their relationship and both of the characters themselves. They were always great friends to Henry and Claire and were there for everything for them.

4.) Molly and Arthur Weasley from the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
15881The Weasley family in Harry Potter and their relationship with Harry throughout each of the books is one of the best things about the books. Molly and Arthur were always so sweet together and their love for each other and their kids makes them such powerful figures in the book. The Weasleys become a family for Harry with Molly and Arthur becoming parental figures for Harry as he grows up. Their relationship has always been important to me and they made this list because they are one of the best relationships period in a book let alone side relationships. 

3.) Finn and Toby from Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt:
17162148
This is a couple we do not see too much of within the book and most of what we learn about their relationship is from what Toby tells our narrator. I loved this relationship in the book. We see what happens to Toby after the death of his love and how he has to deal with life without him. This is just as much his story as it is June's. 


2.) The Pillar and Fabola from The Insanity series by Cameron Jace: 
18910286So this is a relationship that is somewhat hinted at through many of the books though we really never get many answers to what their relationship fully is. (I have not read the seventh book yet so I do not know if there is any of this in that book). This is one of my favorite series and I really like the hate relationship that they both have but there seems to be much more to it than what we have seen so far.


1.) Mother Goose and Merlin from The Land of Stories series
24968392This made it so high on my list because it just makes me laugh thinking about them, not in a bad way. I really adore these characters so much. We are first introduced to Mother Goose in Chris Colfer's second novel in The Land of Stories series (again if you have not read the series this may spoil plot points for you.) First of all Mother Goose hands down is one of my favorite characters in Chris's series and also just one of my favorite characters. Her humor and cleverness is something I admire and just the scope of how awesome she is as a female character. She may be a nursery rhyme spotting off drunk who has been around in many different events in history. Her character is a joy to read about and is just hilarious in every scene. 

" 'Mother Goose! It's so good to see your face!' He (Connor) was in hysterics. 'If I had a gold coin for every time someone said that, I would be in debt,' she (Mother Goose) cracked."- Chris Colfer The Land of Stories: A Grimm Warning. 

In the fourth book, Mother Goose meets Merlin in a King Arthur book and they hit it off. This relationship is not in the book too much but I enjoyed their interactions together and it made me laugh out loud a few times. Also, Merlin is one of my favorite literary characters of all time so it was great to see him in the series.
