Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is Books With Your Favorite Trope/Theme (Submitted by Raincheckandread.com and Sara Beth @ Life, Love, Writing).

Hello Readers! I’ve talked A LOT recently about my favorite books, and I felt like I would be repeating myself here. So I decided to talk about books with my favorite tropes on my to-be-read list. It’s never hard to find a new book to talk about when my tbr grows every day. 😉

I love tropes, and there are only a few that I’m not typically a huge fan of (but would still read) like the Royalty, Celebrity, and Billionaire tropes. A perfect example of this is The Bodyguard by Katherine Center (available this summer), which is about a celebrity and ended up being my favorite book of last year. So, I try not to rule anything out.

One of my favorite posts ever on the blog was about tropes. It’s also one of the posts I worked the hardest on, so it’s always a fun one to revisit. I matched songs with books based on my favorite tropes in My Book Soundtrack ~ Love Song Edition: Tropes. I decided to use the same (12) tropes I chose for that post, with the exception of #6 and #11, which I substituted with two of my newest favorite tropes.

Let’s see what I picked!

(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)

1. Fake Relationships – This May End Badly by Samantha Markum – One of my next reads, this fake-dating YA romance set at a boarding school will be available next month.
2. Enemies to Lovers – Love On the Brain by Ali Hazelwood – Okay, so technically I still haven’t read anything by Hazelwood, but I’m trusting the hype.
3. Second Chance Romance – The Kingmaker (All the King’s Men, #1) by Kennedy Ryan – I’ve only read one other book by Ryan, but this one gets recommended a lot, despite the fact it appears to have one heck of a cliffhanger.
4. Friends to Lovers – Maybe Someday (Maybe, #1) by Colleen Hoover – I love romances about music, and this one has been on my tbr for years.
5. The Triangle – Dream On by Angie Hockman – I know most readers detest this trope, but I don’t have a problem with it when it’s done well. This did-I-dream-you-into-life romance sounds absolutely charming and different.
6. Forced Proximity – Stirring Up Love (Taste of Love, #2) by Chandra Blumberg – I enjoyed the first book in this romance series set around food, and the follow up sounds yummy!
7. Opposites Attract – Read Between the Lines (Ms. Right, #1) by Rachel Lacey – An opposites attract, enemies to lovers bookish romance?! Yes, please!
8. Road Trip Romance – A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrisssey – One of my favorite tropes, I couldn’t resist this sweet-sounding road trip romance between ex-friends.
9. Workplace Romance – Tweet Cute by Emma Lord – So many of you love this romance about two warring family-owned businesses, and it’s waiting on my shelf to be read!
10. Slow Burn Romance – All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata – I think any of Zapata’s books could probably go here (and many other tropes, as well), but one of her most recent books set in a small town in the mountains sounds like the perfect romance to immerse myself in.
11. Grumpy/Sunshine – The Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn – I’m a sucker for romances set in Scotland, and this one sounds adorable.
12. Secret Identity – Well Played (Well Met, #2) by Jen DeLuca – I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the first book in this series set at a Renaissance Faire, so the follow up is a must read!
