Top 10 Favorite Book Tropes
Tuesday, August 20, 2019I don't like to say I like a certain genre because I don't think a genre can be summed up into a whole one category. Sure, fantasy is fantasy but what about all the sub categories: urban fantasy and high fantasy and more. I certainly don't like every part of the fantasy genre so how can I say I like the genre itself. Instead, when pointing out favorite books, I discuss what I loved about them and usually it's not the genre, but certain tropes that made me fall in love.

I didn't use to like traveling abroad romances, but the more I read of them the more I do. It's so fun to read about a place I haven't yet been.
ReplyDeleteYeah, cross dressing heroines are super cool.

*Casually adds Jenna and Jonah's Fauxmance to my TBR* And OH MY GOSH, yes to your entire list. Seriously, yes to all of these tropes but especially Fake Relationships. I keep thinking, all right, let's single out some of these tropes on others posts that I didn't think to add but I keep seeing Fake Relationships and start waving a pom-pom around in excitement. Which is like, ah, where did I get a pom-pom from?
