Trope Talk, part 4: The Final Girl A while back, I presented a series on my blog called β€œTrope Talk.” In that series, I explained what tropes are, which tropes are my favorite, and how tropes impact marketing in the book…

#TropeTalk is back, baby! Today, we’re taking a long hard look at the β€œFinal Girl” trope…

Today would have been my mother’s 81st birthday. She was the one who gave me a love of reading and writing. If my parents were still alive, they’d’ve been the first to buy copies of my books. I know they would be proud of me. πŸ’™πŸ“š

Online Used Bookstores to Check OutΒ Today Here at Poor Little Bookish Girl, we love used bookstores...all my homies love used bookstores. However, much like how some communities are in food deserts, some of my readers are in used bookstore deserts...there just simply aren't any in their city. Maybe it's not a big enough town with enough businesses, or no one has recognized the need, or the big box stores are killing off small businesses.

Want to save money on your TBR? Shop for used books at one of the sites in this blog post!
