Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event created by The Broke and the Bookish, where book bloggers everywhere form Top 10 Lists based on some pretty interesting bookish prompts.

This week's prompt is:

Top Ten Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught Epic Ships 101

---

Welcome everyone, to Epic Ships 101. This course will be focused on teaching students how to define a ship, identify all possible ships, as well as to encourage students to start shipping characters regularly as they read. To help with this goal, I've composed a syllabus that includes some of the greatest ships of all times, from several different genres and age groups - most, however, are Young Adult reads. These ships incorporate a wide variety of circumstances and characters, which will expose readers to a diversity of shipping opportunities readers may not have experienced before. Overachievers, beware of binge-reading the course materials early, as you may end up with a book hangover that might never end. Keeping that in mind, here is the required reading.

For more info on these books:

• Persuasion by Jane Austen
• Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice by Stacy King, Po Tse, and Jane Austen
• Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck
• Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

• Harry Potter &c. by J.K. Rowling
• Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
• The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

• Heist Society by Ally Carter
• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
• Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
