so many romantasy misses lately please let this be good

this kind of feels like a fever dream but also i might just have a cold

one thing about me is if i walk into your house and see a problematic book displayed like you’re proud of it i will turn around and walk out. you will never hear from me again ❤️

“‘What have you done to me?’ he’d asked her. He still didn’t know the answer. All he knew was she’d been a bright, dazzling light in his dark world. Not a remote, beautiful creature to put on a pedestal, but an equal. A second self. If he wanted her, he was going to have to win her.
And he wanted her like mad.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

it’s giving Mr and Mrs Smith in the best possible way

been having crazy luck with random historical romance books i find at the library so hopefully this will be another banger

does anyone know a gender swapped beauty and the beast retelling??? 😭 like mf but the beast is a woman and the beauty is a man 🙏

people that only started to hate ICE after they killed a white woman are part of the problem

please tell me the sex scenes are few and far apart because i literally just got cooties from that… so far this feels like a typical male fantasy (like The Will of the Many) but it’s written by a woman so i am holding out 🙏

it’s my personal mission to read books with as cringe a title & cover as possible.

crazy luck at the library today

ok the whole epidemic came out of nowhere 😭

thanking my love for xianxia/wuxia danmei because it’s adding some context i would’ve otherwise missed

the last thing this man needs is more trauma 😭

MY DAD JUST TALKED ABOUT HEATED RIVALRY. “very popular with the ladies. there’s a lot of penis.” WHO TOLD MY DAD??? WHO??????

why don’t they just… stay married??

it’s always books with a cover like this that contain surprising emotional depth. wdym this isn’t smut but rather a story about healing from trauma?????? i beg your pardon???

Tadek if you insult Evemer one more goddamn time i’m kicking your teeth in. SHUT UPPPPP GO AWAYYYYYYYYY

actually, maybe Rowland is the problem? why have a royal dynasty if you cannot write the character dynamics in one? do not make Evemer go ooc just so you can attempt to make Tadek likeable. fuck no. if this gets more frustrating i’m just going to DNF

the way i would’ve thrown Tadek out of the palace. he’s so fucking stupid jfc. and i’m so frustrated with Kadou for letting him get away with this shit…

“It had been as if he’d been standing on a street corner, watching the crowds pass by, and sensed a presence at his shoulder, and turned—and there he was. There he was, familiar and comfortable. Like his heart, or whatever part of him it was that yearned for someone worthy to serve, had recognized the person he was meant to follow. There he was. Well. All right, then.”

i would like to say, if you tried to coach my through a panic attack, i would yell or completely shut down. if you tried to touch me, i would bite your hand. do not use a romance novel as a manual for how to help when someone has a panic attack! :D waiting for the day i get some panic disorder representation where its UGLY. recs please ‼️‼️

i hate tadek…. do NOT insult my king Evemer. i want to drag him by his hair and throw him out. GO AWAY! PEST! BE GONE, HARLOT!!!!!

WOW… i might end up liking this more than Yield Under Great Persuasion

“‘Did—did you choose me?’
An emaciated hand reached out as if to stroke my face. ‘Of course. Did you think it was a coincidence that we found each other?’”

i need the-one-who-hungers so bad bro im not even joking 😫 why couldn’t they be the love interest i don’t want Eric 💔

…why is he trying to escape? he signed himself up for this. and if he runs away, they’ll catch his dad and make him work instead. which would defeat the whole purpose of him serving his fathers sentence 😭 i’ll try not to think to hard i guess

beauty and the beast retelling but the castle is a casino… one of the more original ideas definitely

note: the concept of being nonbinary isn’t new. at all. differs from culture to culture. also, intersex isn’t new either? that’s literally a sex. so it’s been around as long as humans have been. (this is about virgin blood being male, female, nonbinary [not a sex], and intersex being introduced to the old gods.) haha old gods old joke but it doesn’t make sense if you think about it 💔
