Six for Sunday is a weekly book tag created in June 2017 by Steph at A Little But a Lot.
This week’s prompt is: Overdone tropes
First up let me just stay that just because I am saying these are overdone tropes doesn’t mean I hate them. Actually everything on this list, besides #6, are tropes that I enjoy and read frequently.
- Insta-Love
- Fated Mates
- Enemies to Lovers
- Undiscovered Power
- Dead parents
- Love Triangles
Red-Haired Ash Reads 
I hate Instalove and Love Triangles, but even though ‘dead parents’ is definitely a trope it’s a reality for many people so I don’t mind it. Cool list! 🙂

I actually do not read a lot of love triangle books…lol. The shifter/fated mates is kind of hard to get away from in the paranormal world. I am getting tired of the reverse harem books, especially when the girls are 16 years old. Ick.

I avoid reverse harem anymore. I read a few but didn’t love them. Especially since they seemed to be really young like you said. I love fated mates romances.

I love your list! Not a huge fan of love triangles, but I do like the fated mates and undiscovered power. Even better if they’re in the same book. lol

I always avoid love triangles because it usually instantly ruins the book for me. I have seen a lot of books with it lately though.

I absolutely adore Enemies to Lovers and Love Triangles.
And I’ll always think insta-love is better than the alternative: all the dramatic fighting relationships that you see in so much mainstream romance (50 Shades, After, etc). And people in really life really do just instantly like each other sometimes. I think it’s fine. It’s a beautiful, sweet, realistic portrayal of love, instead of all the fight-fuck-fight-fuck-fight-fuck circles you see in most romance/erotica.

That’s very true. I love instalove because of that as well. Don’t like love triangles though because I always get irritated by them, especially if it just pops up halfways through a series.
