Hello book bees! For this post, I’ll be listing just some of the tropes, plots, and elements of a book that will always automatically entice me! This means I might add this book to my TBR, purchase it if on hand, or rent it from Kindle Unlimited or the library.
- Vampires: I will always be interested in a story about vampires
- Unique witchcraft
- Incorporation of my favorite myths (Hawaiian folklore, Egyptian folklore, Scandinavian folklore, Atlantis stories)
- Queer female characters (especially bisexual ones!)
- A character whose narrative voice I really enjoy
- Pirates
- Anything sea related honestly
- Villains with super complex motivations
- Interesting takes on dragons and draconic magic
- Retellings of Beauty and the Beast
- Dark twists on fairy tales
- Alternatively: happy twists on really sad fairy tales
- Lots of women; if the full cast of characters are women (or women with some non-binary or gender fluid characters) I’m in
- Well written erotic scenes
- Weirdly insightful social commentary
There you have it book bees! Not a long post by any means, but I wonder what kind of insight this list gives into the kinds of books I review on this blog…
