Recs if you like Cold Sweat...

If I had a nickle for every time a book about milk and minotaurs ended up on my TBR because of book social media, I’d have 2 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

This is dedicated to the weird AF romance/erotic books I’ve come across.

erotic ≠ smutty (necessarily) it just may be erotically charged (ie Lobster)

submissions welcome

//PLEASE CHECK TW BEFORE READING ANY OF THESE BOOKS - READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION//

for those of us who watched beauty and the beast and saw the beast fight off those wolves and said “please sir may I have some more” this is your more. requirements: at least one isn’t a human open to suggestions!!

sentient erotica/romance (Original Sentient List Curator) you know you wanna know about it 😉 (if it's a series, only book 1 will be added)

Proof that romance novels are for everyone...even your furniture? DISCLAIMER: These are not for the weak of heart and are usually pretty spicy... and very strange.

I am not responsible for what happens while reading these 🙃

who says you need another person to have a good, sexy time? strange, spicy, and often humorous these books will take you into the niche genre of SOR (Sentient Object Romance). if you like playing Date Everything, these books might just be for you.

please, please send me all your unhinged recs!!!

depending on where you live it’s either winter or summer and the weather outside is probably weather, so here is a list of books with weather related titles

taking suggestions!!

when your food wants to fuck.

All the books covered on the monthly deep-dive episodes of the Reading Smut podcast. More will be added as episodes drop.

For those of you who subscribe to newlynova on either YouTube or TikTok, I have compiled a list of books that she has mentioned in her videos

Romance books or Erotica that are on the weirder side or really unconventual. I'm talking bunny aliens, sentient objects and more. You have been warned. (recommend other weirder romances for me to read and add to the list especially if you just wanna know what happens without having to read it lol)

Here's a list of a bunch of books with sentient beings, from doors, to pillows, to candy! All of these are probably very very smutty, because why else would someone write about being in love with a sentient pumpkin? I also haven't read all of these, so don't be too sure that they're good! Enjoy 🤗🔥🚪🍬🧸 PS: Holly Wilde is insane for these

Literally!

I haven’t read any of these, I’m just fascinated by their existence

(I have seen accounts of people actually enjoying these, so they’re worth a shot!)

Books that have been read and discussed on the Podcast "Reading Smut" hosted by Brea Grant and Mallory O’Meara.

I started listening to this podcast in June of 2024, and by October I started actually reading some of the books they cover on the podcast. This list is for me to keep track of which books I have and have not read from their podcast.

If you like romance this podcast is for you, they cover it all, and if they haven't covered your niche yet, i know it is coming in the future.

All kinds of taboo Standalones or first in the series only. Feel free to suggest others, I'm open to any and only ask that it not involve graphic triggers with children.

A collection of unhinged tales that are remarkably delightful.

Why you ask? I say, why not.

(It was a rabbit hole I fell into instead of doing chores... You're welcome...I think.)

Updating!
