Recs if you like To All the Boys I've Loved Before...

Books with short chapters!!! I started a challenge where I read a super long book a chapter-a-day and annotate it using a study guide! I found that annotating short chapters is super accessible and not overwhelming at all for me, so I wanted to share this list with anyone that wants to start over-analyzing their books :) I included a variety of stories because HOW you read is as important (if not more) than WHAT you read!!!!

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

A roundup of YA books that were popular back in the days of us baby millennials. For anyone feeling nostalgic for the 2010’s. Draw a little mustache on your finger because you’re so quirky and get reading like you already finished your homework for the night!

A small selection of the over 2000+ banned books recently brought to the attention of Texas' Lt. Gov and a conservative organization for their for "vulgar" material 🙄 including topics of history, race, LGBTQ+, gender identity, feminism, mental health, and sex education as well as romance, horror, science fiction, memoirs, YA, and classic genres. Aka my new reading list 💅 **Includes all the books I've read/on my TBR and other popular books, comment others if you want!!

All books are closed door romance, only kisses or references!

They may not all be fully romance, but the side-plots are soo swoon-worthy!

The first book in a series.

a collection of recommendations from the Made for the Movies forum

all books that have been adapted to another medium. mostly film and TV but other adaptations might get mixed in.

Female Asian Americans & Asian-coded protagonists in fiction (also Asian diaspora beyond America)

a list about those peak years (2010's decade) and (most) of the books that introduced me (us) to reading

*** disclaimer **** I'm deliberately leaving some of the books out of this list because I don't feel like supporting them putting their books here (if I missed someone who shoulnd't be here let me know!!)

^^ a walk down memory lane for anyone who might’ve been making collages from images found on photobucket and weheartit in the 2000s ^^

Do you sometimes just want to wind down and forget about the world around you? Same! That's one of the great things about reading, it gives you the opportunity to live other lives and experience different things that you might not ever be able to in real life! But sometimes there will be heavy/depressing books that will be hard to get out of a slump from☹️. And that's what this list is for! These are low stakes, easy/comfortable reads that just let your emotions be for awhile. Enjoy! 😉

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

Books where the protagonist is mixed-race/biracial/multiracial or has multiple cultures based on the circumstances of their upbringing. This adds a layer to characters that I find myself drawn to reading about, having mixed heritage myself. Recs welcome!

a bunch of warm cute YA romances that can be read in a few sittings

books that make you yearn for the high school sweetheart you've never had

Romance stories where the main characters pretend to date each other.
