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...
Ooo, I'd forgotten about Jane Steele. That was one YA novel I had planned to read and never got around to picking up a copy. I'll have to do that soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know most of these but Dirty Red sounds good, I clicked over to Goodreads because I liked the cover. Sounds intense.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with these myself, but will take your word for it! LOL!

I really need to up my Tarryn Fisher game. And I own all of her books too!!!! Joe was such a great villain from You. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI read the Morganville books years ago and remember hating the villain! Great list!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
Haha...definitely ever Tarryn villian makes my list!
ReplyDeleteHa ha I love these! Sometimes it really is hard not to fall in love with the bad guys. ;)
ReplyDeleteSeeing you give the Morganville Vampires some love has me all kinds of happy. :) And there were so many different villains to choose from. What I loved is that it could change from book to book. Oliver was almost always awful - and yet he could also be decent. Same with Amelie. Bishop was always horrible, though. Total villain.
ReplyDeleteFantastic list! I have Joe from You on my list as well!!
ReplyDeleteNice--some different ones. P &P! Goldfinch I keep meaning to read. Maybe soon.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/top-10-bad-guys-and-gals/
Ahhh Joe kind of freaked me out lol!

Yes to Joe! He gave me the creeps but he's the best villain.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm a huge Pride and Prejudice fan so love seeing that one on there. I still need to read Jane Steele though so thanks for reminding me about that book :)
ReplyDeleteI love to hate Leah! I hated her but I loved her book because she was so fucked up and the author didn't hold back. Joe was so mentally fucked up, he was a good villain too!
