Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is buzzwords — words attributed to a book that make you want to read it. With a little tweaking of the topic, I am bringing to you books that might appeal to you if you are looking for a specific trope or plot device. There are 5 buzzwords but 10 books of a variety of genres! I hope my list achieves its goal to make you want to read them immediately! 😉
For more book buzzwords, please visit That Artsy Reader Girl.
Top Bookish Buzzwords and The Books That Go with Them
Enemies to Lovers — Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble and Last to Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn
Marriage of Convenience — Indigo Heiress by Laura Frantz and The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper Basham
Opposites Attract — The Meet-Cute Manuscript by Kimberly Duffy and Memory Lane by Becky Wade
Second Chance at Love — Lost Hours by Susan Sleeman and The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese
Unreliable Narrator — The Curse of Crow Hollow by Billy Coffey and Queen of Hearts by Heather Day Gilbert
Unreliable narrators are so much fun to read about.
Another good book for that is The Girl Upstairs by Jessica R. Patch.
Oh I recently discovered I enjoy the marriage of convenience trope but I haven’t read enough books with this yet..it might be a future buzzword for me lol. I love how you put examples of books for each buzzword!

Thanks! I made this post before I read The Girl Upstairs. So good! And so unreliable! 😂

I’m not a super fan of these tropes, but I enjoy them occasionally. I don’t have specific tropes that instantly make me pick up a specific book.

I don’t love the marriage of convenience trope, but I’m a fan of all these other ones. I like that you included reading recs, too.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
