To explain a little about what this post will be about, I’m taking the intro I did for the last one: In every romance book you read there are tropes or archetypes. You can also see them in shows, movies, plays, etc. 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 more. I decided to do a sort of Trope Tuesday piece where I will be talking about many tropes and recommend you all some of my favorites that fit.
What is a trope? Urban Dictionary explains it best I think: “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 a 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 for sure. 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.
Books are such a fundamental part of my life. They always have been, now more than ever. I find a safe place there whenever I feel sad or any kind of emotion. Specifically in romance books, I know I will find a happy ending that will make my day with its sweet and romantic love story. In the next books I’m going to mention, we will find characters that work with books and have a life with them. Be it librarians, bookshop owners, authors, etc. I’m highlighting every single one! Books are my other half so it seems rather nice to feature characters that also work with them and find their own HEAs. Are you ready?
