Recs if you like The Dead Romantics...

This collection of romance books are perfect to read this fall season! Stories full of witches, ghosts, and happily ever afters.

I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!

Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have noticed a pattern Adam Driver characters appear in romance novels all the time mostly thinly veiled Reylo ones. If you like this list is also for you but I also hope it’s a place of discussion about this phenomenon . Please correct me if I got a book wrong/ missing one I ALSO WANT TO FIND ONE WHERE HE APPEARS ALONE WITHOUT REY DOES IT EXIST ROMANCE READERS PLEASE TELL ME???? Kylo Ren is haunting the narrative

flying houses, nerdy werewolves, and magical baking shows, oh my!

cozy no commitment reads for spooky season!

books that were better on audio

basically every memoir is also going to be better on audio, especially if the author narrates it, but I have a separate list for those

Clean and closed door romance

AKA: I love you almost as much as I love books

Romances and rom-coms with at least one main character who works in/around/with books (editor, publisher, author, seller, librarian, professor, etc)

Always open to suggestions!

From sweet & swoony to undeniable heat, these books will have you kicking your feet and blushing at all the right moments. Banter, longing, tension, and MMCs who mean it — prepare for maximum squealing.

romances that involve the afterlife with one, or both, of the MCs being ghosts, spirits, or reapers.

no vampires or dark romance, there's other great lists for those recs!

Some people like their male leads to be alpha chads. I'm not one of them. I like them soft. I like them anxious. I like them doing traditionally female jobs and roles and hobbies.

Mostly romance because that's what I read but other genres present.

Usually just adding the first volume in the series unless they are stand-alones or have distinctly different focus/MCs (most romance series).

In which a main character sees ghosts 👻

Book Attic

Closed-door/no spice romance books with ALL.THE.FEELS.

Books that were/are Barnes & Noble Monthly Picks, Books of the year, Hot Coffee Hot Books, or Book Club picks.

I can never resist a quirky story about life on the other side. 👻 Whether it’s a murder mystery, a bubblegum horror, or even a sweet romance, there’s something irresistible about seeing it all from a ghost’s POV. I love how kooky and creative these versions of the afterlife can be and it makes the fight for a second chance even more engaging. If you loved The Good Place, School Spirits or Dead Boy Detectives, you’ll have so much fun with these too!

As a sapphic who can’t stand about 90% of MMCs in straight romances, and can’t stand Straight Nonsense™️ in general, finding a heterosexual romance book that not only I like, but has me swooning, is rare as heck, so I decided to document the ones that have cleared this high bar. This is an ever-growing list, so be sure to check back periodically if you want recommondations :)
