THIS OR THAT? Trope Edition

I saw this tag over at @hades.reads Instagram page, and I thought I would do it too! And anyone is free to do this tag as always. 1. Enemies to lovers or friends to lovers? Friends to lovers of course! Although I do like rivals to lovers as well. In my opinion, it is a superior version of enemies to lovers. 2. Fake dating or age gap? Fake dating. 3. Second chance or best friend's brother? Second chance. 4. Grumpy x sunshine or touch her and die? The grumpy x sunshine dynamic.  5. Spice before or after they fall? Neither! I am not a fan of spicy things in books. If anything remotely spicy does happen, I skim over it. 

THINGS I LOVE IN BOOKS

  I wasn't tagged in this, but I though this tag looked neat. I first saw it over at @hades.reads Instagram page.  As usual, I don't tag anyone. Feel free to do this tag if you see it! So here is everything I realized I love seeing in books: Sassy/funny characters friends to lovers rivals to lovers fake dating dual POV (can be first or third person) mysteries found family Queer characters (anyone underneath the LGBT umbrella!) Disabled characters (physical and nonphysical disabilities!) Ethnically diverse cast of characters self-discovery/self-acceptance stories strong friendships cool magic systems rich worldbuilding cozy settings magical creatures (especially fairies, dragons, and mermaids) likeable characters you want to root for unlikeable characters are unlikable on purpose references to anime/other cartoons witches challenging/questioning societal norms linear storytelling What are your favorite things in books? Do you like any of the ones I just mentioned?
