Well, you have options
Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what๐
(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know๐คญ)

Books about food, either non-fiction or foodie fiction

BL/Yaoi Manga on Libby
I read so much BL manga on Libby. I thought it might be handy for people to have a list of what I've found. This includes explicit and non-explicit titles, and for series I only put in vol 1. Note that just because it's on Libby doesn't mean any specific library will have it, but you can pick "notify me" to let the library know you are interested, and they may acquire it! This list is only titles that (as far as I know) are from Japan and available in English (does not include manhua or manhwa).






Let's Eat! - Food Manga
These are all manga where food is a major focus or the 'point' of the story. Only vol. 1 of a series will be listed. Recommendations always welcome






Josei Manga/Manhwa (PB community list)
List inspired by @Lady_of_the_Library's club post. Recommendations provided by the PB community! These stories are intended for adult readers (18+) and often feature realistic, mature romantic relationships, complex emotional situations, and sometimes explicit content.






Old Man Yaoi
A depressingly short list of old man yaoi. Both characters need to be 40+, or at least darn close to 40 - not just one old man x one younger man age gap romance (not that I don't love that too, but it's not old man yaoi imho). No, 40+ isn't "old" by any objective measure, but even finding stories like that is hard, if we make it actual old man yaoi, it'll be even harder.






Involving Food and Cozy Vibes ๐๐ฃโ






Hunger Strikes
This list is the result of all the recs I got from amazing Pagebound people. The books are related to food, that have beautiful recipes or descriptions, or anything related to food.
