To explain a little about what this post will be about, every Trope Tuesday post starts with the same introduction. In every romance book you read there are tropes or archetypes you find inside its pages. You can also see them in shows, movies, plays, etc. Every type of entertainment and media. Romantic tropes are everywhere, and they are fabulous. I adore them and I always tend to find my favorite ones in romance books so I can enjoy them even more. Trope Tuesday is a weekly column where I share books that I know people will enjoy with a specific central trope.
What is a trope? Urban Dictionary explains it best: “Despite the erroneous definitions already published here, trope on the interwebs really refers to an often overused plot device. It can also be described as another variation on the same theme. TV shows, movies, comics, games, anime’, & books are full of tropes & many rabid fan-sites now name & track said tropes with self-explanatory title for each one.” We can name a few: accidental pregnancy, best friends to lovers, sibling’s best friend, marriage of convenience, and so many more. Your favorite couples? They probably got a trope too! It’s always so nice to realize or find out your favorite romance trope and keep searching for books with the same theme. So really? I’m just helping you find that new favorite book of yours. If ever you want a post on a trope I haven’t done yet, do drop me a tweet at @thebookvoyagers and let me know!
I really like this type of couple where one of them is very, very tall and the other one is super short. The short one almost always has to look up constantly at the tall one and the tall one has to bend their knees in order to actually listen to something the short one is saying. I don’t know, I just find this characteristic very cute when it comes to romance. Other instances where you see how the height plays into the situations is when the tall one puts their head on top of the short one’s head or shoulder, the tall one has to put the short one on top of the counter to kiss them because their necks would hurt so badly if they continue that way, or when they hug and the short one only reaches the chest. It’s just so cute to see and read and I eat it up.
