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...

ReplyDeleteNalini Singh's books... I re-read them :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an impossible question to answer. 2015 was an amazing year for books for me, and I loved so many. But if I have to name just one, I will say Hawthorn by Carol Goodman. It is the final book of the Ravencliff series, and it was amazing. The whole series is one of my absolute favorites. And definitely an underrated one!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a single favorite in 2015. It was a great reading year for me. I did read a few books that I truly loved and would never, under any circumstances lend to anyone (not that I lend my books anyway). One of those was Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop. I love The Others series and this book was no different.
ReplyDeleteThe Deal by Elle Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book of 2015 was Winter. It was the last book that I read, and it was such a great ending to a great series.
