Sorry for the delay <3

I had a lot more books on my list but after checking different retailers I thought these would be the best option because I cant justify spending 12€ on an Ebook :D

The Maidens
Babel, or The Necessity of Violence:An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
Frankenstein: The 1818 Text
Bunny
Catherine House
The Starless Sea

I finished Book Lovers in one day and I really enjoyed my reading time.
I found the characters and their story really interesting. I was a little bit annoyed by the Drama at the end because I knew the solution right away but that's life :D

Overall I gave 4,5 stars and I would definitely read it again.

Disqualified books because of specific reasons:

First of all, I would like to state my opinion of Colleen Hoover and why I decided to disqualify her books. This is only my opinion and you can still like her if you want but I don't feel comfortable reading her books in this book club. I think that her books are kinda glorifying abusive and toxic relationships and also I don't like it that she actively decides to not include trigger warnings in her books, even tho multiple people begged for them. There are some other points why I choose to disqualify her books but these are the main reasons and I hope you can understand that.


Ugly Love
disqualified: see above

Under One Roof
disqualified: sadly too short and currently only available as an Ebook and Audiobook

It Ends with Us
disqualified: see above

Afterlove
disqualified: supernatural stuff (but still a great suggestion. Maybe this will fit another theme)

History Is All You Left Me
disqualified: I have the feeling that this is more a novel about grief than romance.

One Last Stop
disqualified: supernatural stuff like time loops

Eleanor & Park
disqualified: huge debate about the fetishization of East Asian and the Racism in the book (just google the title and problematic and you will find some articles)

November 9
disqualified: see above

Layla
disqualified: see above

All Boys Aren't Blue
disqualified: this is more a memoir than a romance book but still thank you for the rec.
