For Day 5 of Book Couples Countdown, I’ll be gushing about Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl! I actually didn’t read these books until I was in college, and I ADORED them. Although I love a few of the couples from Riordan’s world (Leo and Calypso are another of my fav pairs), Percy and Annabeth got me from the very beginning!

Their loyalty to each other, at a young age, is one of the things I love about “Percabeth.” I don’t want to spoil much, just in case, but there are two particular scenes I can never get over. One at the end of The Last Olympian, and one at the end of The Mark of Athena. Also all of The House of Hades. If you’ve read them, you’ll know exactly which ones I’m referring to! I love these moments for a variety of reasons, but they all demonstrate Percy and Annabeth’s undying (literally) dedication to each other.

Their story spans multiple series, and even still we’re getting little tidbits through the newest books! And I’m so glad, because this is one of those book couples I just can’t get enough of! read more
