I’m always fascinated by the story elements that make readers say, “Okay, just one more chapter…” and suddenly it’s midnight.

Maybe it’s a friends-to-lovers romance, a second-chance story, a little family drama, a mystery hiding in the past, or a character who discovers that the life they thought they wanted isn’t quite the life they need.

We all have those tropes that will make us pick up a book without even reading the full description!

So tell me: What’s your favorite story trope? And which trope will always get you to add a book to your reading list?

Happy National Read a Book Day! 📚 Coffee is poured, and my current read is officially keeping me company on the road.

I’ve been doing a lot of driving lately, which means I’m fully immersed in audiobook land. Right now, I am listening to The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett (author of The Help), and y`all, it is out of this world. The narrators are absolutely FABULOUS and bring this incredible cast of characters in 1930s Mississippi to life. I’m calling it early: this might be sneaking into my top ten favorite books of all time!

Now it`s your turn to fill up my TBR pile. What books are currently on your nightstand (or in your headphones), or what series do you think everyone needs to shout out today?
