Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fab ladies at The Broke and the Bookish!
I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting. Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations! I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters! I know there are a ton...
Oh my goodness. Zoey Fools Around...I remember reading that book! Your list has made me feel really nostalgic! Great choices. :-) My TTT.
ReplyDeleteI loved that series -- it made me want to go to Maine! I wish it were out on kindle, I really want to re-read it now!!
DeleteOohhh...I think I read some Elizabeth books when I was in middle school! That cover is SO ringing some bells! Obviously I didn't keep them, because once I found my paranormal books, I stopped reading contemps, but I so read that one for a time or two!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

It was amazing -- Elizabeth ran away and moved to London where she became a scullery maid!
DeleteI never read the Sweet Valley High books, but I remember the TV show a little bit, my sisters used to watch it all the time! I used to read a lot of super girly books too, my reading tastes have changed so much over the years! Happy Reading! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I looooved R.L. Stine, but I never made it past his Goosebumps books. I wish I would've read more!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I never read Sweet Valley High but I loooooooved SVU! Nick and Jessica! Lila and Bruce (I think that's his name). And Liz and Tom! OMG I read alll those books. Goosebumps was another favorite and Aliens Ate My Homework.
ReplyDeleteI remembered you loved SVU too -- I never read any Sweet Valley High but loved SVU and the series after, Elizabeth, where she ran away to London and became a maid! I would seriously re-read them all!!
DeleteI seriously loved the Goosebumps books! My siblings and I all shared them when we were on long road trips!

I grew up on Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Judy Plume, C.S. Lewis, and Anne of Green Gables
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I vaguely remember Sleepover Friends, I feel like I may have read a few of those. One of my friends was obsessed with Sweet Valley (Twins, High, AND U) but I could never get into them, though I read a few. And my brother LOVED Goosebumps! GREAT list, this is such a blast from the past!

Omg, I feel like I must've missed out on some great childhood reads here! I don't even think I read a single one when I was little. >_< Thanks for stopping by my list!
ReplyDeleteI almost put the Fear Street books on my list. I'm not sure why I was so obsessed with them in middle school since I'm a huge wimp when it comes to horror. And yeah for Bunnicula!
