Okay legit question: what is up with all the romance books that are just retellings of fairytales or classic myths? Why is this specific trend so prominent? It’s not inherently bad or anything I just don’t see enough of the appeal for it to be as popular as it is.
#do people just have an attachment to fairytales that i don’t?#stuff like that has always been background noise for me i guess#i loved Greek mythology growing up#but i was more into the weird monsters than the stories themselves#as for rehashes of classic literature#no#Why would i read the 50 millionth version of pride and prejudice#when the original is a) right there and b) better than pretty much every imitator#and it’s always classic romance novels#Mix it up#The Great Gatsby#dracula#moby dick#‘But blade’#’how am i supposed to set something like moby dick in the modern day or a sexy fantasy world’#figure it out#man still has hubris and nature still humbles#blade’s romance reading quest
