Day 17: Favorite Book Tropes

 Let's see favorite book tropes. I do really enjoy books about people who are broken in some way (ex. abusive past, parents died in a horrible tragedy, etc.) and they learn to deal with whatever happened and fall in love and such. Not sure why I love it, but when done right I do. I just love reading that overcoming something terrible and becoming an amazing person thing. Probably because I don't really feel like I have ever experienced something like that so I like to see other people triumph over whatever happened. These stories can be really gut wrenching and just devastating to read, but I love it.

I also love depressing stories that don't have happy endings. I don't find them too often, but the really devastating, soul crushing stories I love. Like Hubert Selby Jr. His books are such downers I love it. I am a happy person in general, so I love depressing stories. Sometimes I just like to offset my happy positive life with super dark sadness.

I also love tattooed boys. Tattooed alpha males and just tattoos in general. Tattoos and piercings and brightly colored hair and yeah. Rule by Jay Crownover is my favorite tattooed boy. Love love love him and his look. I don't know what it is, but tattooed boys get me.

That is all I can think of that I generally usually enjoy in a story. Really if you are a great author you can write about things that I normally hate and make me love it. Those of the ones that I really love. The books that I should hate, but somehow the author made me love instead. It is amazing when I find one of those, when I have a story and I am like I can tell you what it is about but it will sound terrible, but somehow it is amazing! I really just love great books.

Today is the day!!!   Love Hacked  is out now!!! You should all go get it. Even if you don't know Penny Reid's other books, go get this one. Get the others as well, but seriously go one click this one! It is amazing and I loved every moment of it. In fact I might have read it multiple times already... I just couldn't put it down! Amazing.  Love Hacked: A reluctant romance (Knitting in the City) Synopsis: There are three things you need to know about Sandra Fielding: 1) She makes all her first dates cry, 2) She hasn't been kissed in over two years, and 3) She knows how to knit. Sandra has difficulty removing her psychotherapist hat. Of her last 30 dates, 29 have ended the same way: the man sobbing uncontrollably. After one such disaster, Sandra--near desperation and maybe a little tipsy--gives in to a seemingly harmless encounter with her hot waiter, Alex. Argumentative, secretive, and hostile Alex may be the opposite of everything Sandra knows i

Best of 2019

If any of you are following along then you may have noticed that 2019 was not the most consistent year for me. I have been posting less and less and I finally came to the conclusion that I need a break. A break from writing reviews. A break from reading things I have to read to review. A break from being on a schedule and blogging, at least for a bit. I will still update my Goodreads with ratings for books I read, maybe a line or two about the book, but I need a break. I need to not have the stress of getting things read and posted and all of that. It has become something I don't enjoy so if I am ever going to get back on the blogging train I need a break. So I am not sure I will be posting in 2020. I will see how it goes. Life got super crazy (in a good way!) in 2019 so I also haven't had or wanted to carve out the time to blog. I am still reading books by authors I love, but this way I also can fit in more books by new to me authors. Or read what I feel like, what I am in the
