Recs if you like Blood of Hercules...

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Romantasy books to read to escape reality that AREN’T ACOTAR and Fourth Wing.

You don't want to choose? You like several men treating their woman like a queen? Welcome home.

these are pulled from a goodreads list that was published--working on trying to find the link again

there is a sea of audiobook narrators and I know we all have our favorites. I'm starting a series of lists featuring both popular and underrated narrators. consider this the first of many.

let's kick things off with Teddy Hamilton. he does everything romance related, mm romance, shifter romance, alien romance, and more. I tried not to include audible exclusives so that anyone without access to audible can find something from this list.

as always, taking suggestions!!

All the greek mythology I can find out there! There is a lot of Percy Jackson and then quite a bit more. A mixture of more modern retellings and also the books and plays they're derived from.

if you've read a reverse harem and wanted her boyfriends to just kiss already and more, these book recs are for you! Why just share her when they can share each other. 🫦💦

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs

Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

original fantasies INSPIRED by mythology and folklore (Greek, Arthurian, Norse, Buddhist, Slavic, Jewish, Irish, and more!)

why choose or multiple people spicy scenes because why should we choose when we can have it all? 😏😏

Books of the polyamorous sort. Haven't read all of them so I could be wrong on some. Some of these are set in non-monogamous cultures even if the protagonists themselves are not engaging in romance or polyamory.

Big thanks to AthenatheStorier who often finds and recommends these books through instagram or tiktok videos!

Also if you're a lover of polyamorous stories of any kind/medium, let me know. I want to co-write a collaborative analysis of polyamorous stories and you could help!

my favorite "why choose"/reverse harem books/series i've either read so far or are on my TBR (not including omegaverse)

So after reading many reverse harems I wanted to do a list of the ones that actually are worth reading (ofc it’s my personal opinion).

The first book in a series.

Books that either filtered to me directly from or have strong associations with booktok. A lot of dark romance, a lot of smut, some things I would (lovingly) consider "trashy".

Mind, body, spirit, and 🐱, the holy quadrinity needed him

Ongoing

A variety of books recommended by a librarian (appropriate for students aged 11-16 as well).

my complete why choose reading log so far 👀 some of these totally ruined me, some were just okay, but they all live here now. if you’re looking for a giant master list of reverse harem reads to browse, i got you covered.

novels based on mythologies and folklore around the world -- recs welcome!!
