Top 5 Wednesday: "Favourite" Character Tropes

It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is "favourite" character tropes. Although it is meant to be tropes that you like I thought I would put a spin on the topic and do my sarcastically favourite tropes. I am sorry if this week's topic seems like I am ranting. To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the goodreads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey. So let’s get started…

Number 5: Love Triangles

 Image result for shatter meAlthough I do like love triangles to an extent, I do find them very unrealistic in the sense that they never happen in real life. I dislike them most in dystopian novels because instead of trying to save the world they pine over which boy they want.






Number 4: When the main character falls in love with the best friend

 Image result for city of bonesAgain I do like this trope to an extent but again this is very unrealistic. Most of us are friends with boys but never do we pursue or get romantic feelings for our friend. I was talking about this before and I said that I would love to write a book when the character has a strong relationship with her best friend but they have no romantic feelings because that is more realistic to life. 




Number 3: Strong Female Character

 Image result for hunger games bookAlright, Alright I don't hate this trope but I do think that it has flaws. I don't think that the strong female character trope should be a thing because all women are strong but in different ways and the word "strong" itself is quite difficult to define. You also don't see male characters being labelled as strong because they are expected to be so already. 





Number 2: The likable villain 

 Image result for grisha trilogyEverytime that this trope comes up in a book, I don't like the villain but everyone else seems to love them. Whether it be Warner from Shatter Me or the Darkling from the Grisha trilogy people fall in love with the villain and I just don't...







Number 1: Beautiful Girl thinks she is ugly 

 Image result for delirium bookThis is my number one hated character trope as the girls are typically beautiful and just hate the way they look even though they are the typical petite, skinny YA stereotypical just because they have never had a boyfriend. Futhermore, is when they only think they are beautiful when they have a boy tell them.  





What are our favourite or "favourite" character tropes? Leave them in the comments below. 

 See you soon,

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit a...

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

* I have received this book for review from Readers First but this in no way affects my review * Title: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares Author: Krystal Sutherland Source: From Readers First Publisher: Hot Key Books Rating: 5/5 stars ( Goodreads | Amazon ) Book Summary from Goodreads: Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.  Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...
