We never truly outgrow the fairy tales; we just start finding them in the fiction section. Wishing a very Happy World Folklore Day to the dreamers, storykeepers, and the authors that keep the magic alive!

Of course I had to put a romance-reader spin on this one! 🌲✨

For my trip into the folklore woods, I turned some of my favorite romance tropes into their own little fairy tale elements—from friends-to-lovers wandering through The Forest 🌲 to fated mates finding their story written in The Stars ✨.

Because really, what are romance tropes if not our grown-up version of once upon a time and happily ever after? 💕📖

Swipe through to see which books I chose for each trope!

QOTD: If you could only choose ONE romance trope to get your happily ever after, which would you pick? ✨
