Recs if you like The Next Best Fling...

Romance books where at least one of the main characters is curvy/plus-sized! Because there truly is more to love <3

you can enter a space. you are a regular guy, you can enter a room. you are a regular guy, you can do that transaction. you are a regular guy, you know how to answer the phone. you are a regular guy, you know what sleep is. you are a regular guy, you know what it means to be you.

all of these books have regular people as the protagonist doing all sorts of things, from kissing to killing!

as always, open to all suggestions!

romances across genres where at least one of the main characters works as a librarian

AMOR❤️ A collection of romance books by Latinx authors. Includes all types of romance (fantasy, gothic, YA, adult, contemporary, lgbtq+, etc.).

I chose not to display multiple books from the same author and also picked the first in the "series" (if applicable) only. This is to introduce you to the author and the series, that way you can look into each further if you'd like! 🥰

These are more of the popular ones I found from my research so I am always open to suggestions!

Spicy romance books with cute, illustrated covers that don't look nearly as spicy as they are 🌸

This list is based on the covers featured here, so it may be a little biased. Recommendations are welcome!💌

NB: Includes different spice levels and some LGBTQ+ romances❤️‍🔥

Books where one of the MCs is a plus size king/queen!

Romance novels with fat people living their lives, being hot, and not obsessing about their body size.

If dad-jokes were book titles, it would be pretty punny.

Romance novels with a MMC in a larger body—dadbod, chubby, plus size, fat, etc.

Please tell me your 5-star plus size reads! AND whether the story is mainly about being bigger (eg: Mile High) or if the character is repping for the curvy but focused on other aspects of their life (eg: Next Best Fling).

Books about books, bookstores, libraries, and human nature. All genres and ages

As a dark skin Pacific Islander who was raised internationally and in the USA, I have a lifelong yearning for BIPOC stories. This list focuses on the characters, cos I do enjoy my favorite writers lending their skills to celebrate our awesomeness.

This is one of a few lists I'm making to help me organize my ideas for HRCYED 3.0. Feel free to take inspiration or comment with more ideas.
