What's a book trope you thought you'd hate but ended up loving?

Real talk... do you actually finish books you're not enjoying, or are we all just pretending we don't DNF?
I know I try to push my way through, but sometimes there are some books that I just CANNOT get through.

Writers: what's the weirdest thing you've researched for a book that probably put you on a watchlist?

Here's another excerpt... sorry I've been slow to start posting again since we got back. I've been super busy.

We're home safe and sound! I wanted to make sure you all know we are officially back in Costa Rica (although not quite home yet… hotel tonight, home tomorrow). 

We had 3 different planes and about 8-ish hours of layovers coming back here so I am EXHAUSTED and need to rest before I make more posts.

On our way back! If I haven't replied to any messages or comments yet then I will be doing so very soon... within the next few days. We do need to arrive there, which is 3 plane flights to get there this time, and get some rest first though.

We're traveling from Costa Rica to the US and should be there for about 2 weeks before we fly back to Costa Rica. I'm scheduling some posts to go out just so my content doesn't disappear for you, but if I'm slow to reply to you, that's why. I will reply ASAP though.
