    🤯 i believe retellings are just a hit or miss... it really depends on how well the author develops the story and that new, original aspect they bring to it.

    • @MelReads

      absolutely yes!! i've read some fantastic retellings and some... more questionable ones, but there's tons of potential within the trope/genre

    I love retelligs but I hated Into the Neverwoods by Aiden thomas. I was super hyped when I got it but every 15 pages I would literally fall aspleep!!

    Not genre but trope. Depending on the summary I don’t like the stepsibling trope UNLESS they meet for the very first time. Like it’s weird if they catch feelings after they have grown up together or even are family for a couple/few years and then catch feelings. But considering I’ve only read one trilogy with a straight couple, now I want to read one between two stepsisters or two stepbrothers😂😅

    1) I love fanatsy but I didn't like the atlas six. The writing was giving wattpad. All of the characters were very planned out which made them plain but somehow also annoying
    2) I rarely read Scify but before the coffee gets cold is such a good book. I enjoyed it so much
    3) I love fake dating (yes, I am serious) but the love hypothesis was an experience that I did not enjoy. Questionable and cringy
    4) grumpy and sunshine - it's so beyond annoying but Hani and Ishues guide to fake dating was chef's kiss.
    5) I love Rick Riordan's book. Almost all of them are my personality. Except for the trials of Apollo. (I definitely agree with your take on Elizabeth Acevedo)
    6) Poet X. I didn't like with the fire on high but poet x made me feel so seen as a latina and boy can Elizabeth Acevedo write!
    7) Cinder by Marissa Meyer (not the American cover god forbid) the german cover is stunning. But I didn't like it, sadly
    8) the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I wouldn't have this if book social media hadn't been screaming at me for months. I'm so glad I did but the cover is a no.
