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...
So, I have to admit, I have only read one... BUT I also really liked it! (The Smell of Other People's Houses) and I definitely plan to read a LOT more from your list! Glad to hear that TRK went so well too! The best book I have read so far this year was The Serpent King, hands down. I feel like I had a LOT of wins at the start of the year and things are... slowing a bit haha. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, so happy to to see Undecided on here and I really liked The Smell of Other People's Houses too and I'm halfway through Every Exquisite Thing and it's really good! I haven't had many favorites this year but the ones I have had have been really good.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read Jane Steele -- have you reviewed it?
ReplyDeleteYep - here ! ♥
DeleteI have wanted to read Modern Girls since I first heard about it. I'm so glad to see it on your list for this week!
ReplyDeleteI mist admit, I've read none of these. I've been dying to read The Smell of Other People's Houses, and The Raven Boys quartet is next on my to-buy list.
ReplyDeleteGREAT LIST! Have a lovely week.

I can't recommend The Raven Cycle enough -- my all time favorite series!!
DeleteOOh nice! I've gotta get caught up in Anne Bishop's series!! Still need to read book 3!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Haven't really looked at any of these recently. I wanted to start The Raven Cycle series, just haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteUndecided and The Unexpected Everything made my list too! I really can't wait to read Every Exquisite Thing, The Smell of Other People's Houses and I Almost Forgot About You. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the unexpected everything as well, and I can't wait until I finally get around to the raven king! I also bought jane steele and can't wait to read it as well! great list, eva!
ReplyDeletehere's my TTT!
Dear Fang, With Love is a book I had not even heard before this week, but I think your blog is the third time I've seen it on these top lists and now I really want to read it!
ReplyDeleteI loved both The Unexpected Everything and The Smell of Other People's Houses. The Smell of Other People's Houses also has one of the prettiest covers I've ever seen.
Thanks for sharing these and happy reading! :)
So of these I've read and couldn't agree more with!
ReplyDeleteMarked in Flesh made my list as well. I love that entire series so much. I am seeing The Smell of Other People's Houses on quite a few lists so it must be a pretty good read. Thanks for sharing your faves!
ReplyDeleteThe Raven King and The Smell of Other People's Houses made my list as well. I loved The Unexpected Everything as well and I've heard good things about Jane Steele. Great list!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
I haven't read any of these, but this is the third list I have seen Jane Steele on this week. I think I need to go check it out :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Geez, I haven't read a single one from your list. What am I doing with my life? LOL I do have Dear Fang With Love out from the library right now. Very hopeful that I'll get to it before it's due back. And I have a couple friend who have been raving about Undecided. I really need to go ahead and download that one.
ReplyDeleteYou will LOVE Undecided, seriously!!
DeleteI really, really need to read The Raven King. Great list, I might have to look into some of these books.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: Marie @ Pages to Explore
I was so on the fence about buying The Smell of Other People's Houses. Now that I've seen it on 75% of the lists I've visited I wish I had!
ReplyDeleteI've added almost all of your list to my TBR stack, but there just isn't enough time. I would love to read Unexpected Everything and have seen it on a few lists today. I wasn't a fan of Jane Steele, though.
ReplyDeleteI almost DNF'd after the first 30% but then it took off for me! I know Rachel didn't like it either
DeleteThe only one of these I've read is The Raven King, but I loved it!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/21/top-ten-tuesday-62/
I haven´t read any of the books that made your list but I want to read Maggie Stieb¿fvater series.
ReplyDeleteHere is My Top 10 Tuesday
Undecided! *flails* A million times yes! It was so so good! I haven't read the rest of the books you have so I obviously need to fix this somehow.
ReplyDeleteAhhh I'm so excited to see The Smell of Other People's houses on your list too! THAT BOOK WAS AMAZING AND I BASICALLY WANT TO HUG IT FOREVER. Also The Raven King was endlessly glorious. <333 But then Maggie Stiefvater can basically do no wrong. XD
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
I don't know why, but I STILL haven't read Jane Steele! It's definitely on my TBR list though. Great list :D
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
There's so many on here that I want to read! Like Jane Steele and Undecided. And I loved TRK of course. Nice list!! 😀😀
ReplyDeleteUndecided was so great. I love seeing it on so many people's lists. I can't wait to try Anne Bishop's series!
ReplyDeleteI so need to read more Maggie Stiefvater! :-)
ReplyDeleteI really want to start The Others series - it sounds exactly like something up my alley! :)
ReplyDeleteUndecided was on my list, too. I loved that one. Thank you for the recommendation. :)
