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
Most of these books are new to me :) Good choices, though!

Pride & Prejudice is one I've re-read multiple times myself. It's such a great book and with every read, I feel like I discover a new nuance. I'm hoping to read The Raven Boys series this year once the last book comes out. I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteI'm re-reading the Raven Boys RIGHT NOW. <3 Aahhh it's even BETTER the second time round because omg I'm already picking up a TON of foreshadowing. *squeaks* I very rarely reread, but I'm beginning to appreciate doing it more. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
It is so funny because I don't reread books ever! I do want to read Flat Out Love and possible Pride & Prejudice.
ReplyDeleteOh nice topic choice! I don't re-read these days anymore! Never any time with all the new books I need to read! Great topic!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I really need to read The Raven Boys! I've yet to read anything by that author. The only book I like to re-read every year is The Picture of Dorian Gray since it's my fave novel. Unfortunately, last year I didn't get to read it. So I'll have to for sure this year!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I see a few books I need to add to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I have quite a few books I re-read every year, too ;)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
YAY! Great choice of topic this week. I always love freebie week as people always do such amazing topics! I love rereading myself, I reread a few favourites each year. I really want to read The Opportunist myself, I have heard amazing things.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post if you want to check it out. I picked non-book romances I would love to see get book adaptations.
OMG, I'm reading Flat-Out Love right now!!!! I've heard a lot of great stuff about it so I'm pretty excited! I re-read A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and Along For the Ride and The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, every year and I never get tired of it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice for TTT! I might have to steal your topic at a future date. :) Thanks for stopping by!

I have heard such good things about the Raven Boys. I am hoping to read it soon!

I love that you chose this topic! I have a problem with rereading actually and haven't reread many books (I really should, but I find that I have no time reading my TBR to reread any books) Anyway, it's such a dedication to read The Raven Boys series every year. Im currently reading the first book for the first time and LOVING it so much!
ReplyDeleteGreat list♥
Here's My TTT if you'd like to check it out :)♥

PS, I'm a new follower of yours :)
I love Pride and Prejudice. It's such a great story and always a good read. I can see why you read it every year. I haven't read any of the other books on your list, but I've heard good things about most of them. This is such a fun topic. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out Dying to Please by Linda Howard if you re-read it every year! I finished Overload and loved it. Perfect, fun short story. Sometimes I just want a quick romance fix. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually read any of these books! But I've been meaning to read Pride and Prejudice for years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me!
I've read three on your list, The Opportunist, Flat-out Love, and Pride and Prejudice. You are so right that they are re-read worthy! All are excellent books to re-read.
ReplyDeleteVery fun take on the freebie! I have read and enjoyed The Raven Boys, but I haven't read the rest. Books I reread every year? The Hunger Games. I mean, more than every year, because I have read the series ten times, but I think I have like, an actual problem that requires some sort of intervention ;)
ReplyDeleteI reread Raven Boys every year, as well, to get ready for the next book in the series - I'm planning a series reread now before the last novel comes out. One novel I read every year is The Catcher in the Rye - I just love that book! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I need to cave and read The Opportunist because so many people love it. Great list.
ReplyDeleteIs it sad that I haven't read any of these? *hides in shame* I own the first two Raven Cycle books so I'll hopefully be getting to them this year, and I need to read Pride & Prejudice because I just saw the move and *flails* IT WAS AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteNOt surprised at all to see TO on this list. Basically any Rachel Gibson or Jennifer Crusie is part of my annual re-reads :)
