Recs if you like Unhinged...

If I had a nickle for every time a book about milk and minotaurs ended up on my TBR because of book social media, I’d have 2 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

This is dedicated to the weird AF romance/erotic books I’ve come across.

erotic ≠ smutty (necessarily) it just may be erotically charged (ie Lobster)

submissions welcome

//PLEASE CHECK TW BEFORE READING ANY OF THESE BOOKS - READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION//

When tree lovers get loved back by the objects of their affection. These smutty selections include tree shifters, dryads, puppets, doors, and more! As long as it's made of wood, we're good.

sentient erotica/romance (Original Sentient List Curator) you know you wanna know about it 😉 (if it's a series, only book 1 will be added)

Proof that romance novels are for everyone...even your furniture? DISCLAIMER: These are not for the weak of heart and are usually pretty spicy... and very strange.

I am not responsible for what happens while reading these 🙃

who says you need another person to have a good, sexy time? strange, spicy, and often humorous these books will take you into the niche genre of SOR (Sentient Object Romance). if you like playing Date Everything, these books might just be for you.

please, please send me all your unhinged recs!!!

For those with exquisite taste

Begging required, kneeling and tears optional

thank you to @joycebari and @vasilissa inspiring the list to be created! we listen and we are indeed casting judgment. Books that your loved ones will never see you read....readers be aware

a collection of the "smut of the month" books featured on the Reading Smut podcast hosted by Brea Grant and Mallory O'Meara. "a show about spicy books and the people who love them!"

All the books covered on the monthly deep-dive episodes of the Reading Smut podcast. More will be added as episodes drop.

For those of you who subscribe to newlynova on either YouTube or TikTok, I have compiled a list of books that she has mentioned in her videos

Romance books or Erotica that are on the weirder side or really unconventual. I'm talking bunny aliens, sentient objects and more. You have been warned. (recommend other weirder romances for me to read and add to the list especially if you just wanna know what happens without having to read it lol)

Here's a list of a bunch of books with sentient beings, from doors, to pillows, to candy! All of these are probably very very smutty, because why else would someone write about being in love with a sentient pumpkin? I also haven't read all of these, so don't be too sure that they're good! Enjoy 🤗🔥🚪🍬🧸 PS: Holly Wilde is insane for these

Literally!

I haven’t read any of these, I’m just fascinated by their existence

(I have seen accounts of people actually enjoying these, so they’re worth a shot!)

Books that have been read and discussed on the Podcast "Reading Smut" hosted by Brea Grant and Mallory O’Meara.

I started listening to this podcast in June of 2024, and by October I started actually reading some of the books they cover on the podcast. This list is for me to keep track of which books I have and have not read from their podcast.

If you like romance this podcast is for you, they cover it all, and if they haven't covered your niche yet, i know it is coming in the future.

tried to get all their books from regular shows and the live show & patreon episodes on here - if i’ve forgotten any of them, please lmk!!

Tentacles, tails, scales and every inhuman thing inbetween!

Sentient object romances that YOU need to read

For the lovers of Date Everything, here is a collection of sentient object romances to make you look at the door a little differently or at least give you a good laugh! These were suggested to me so if some don't quite belong here I will be editing the list!

A collection of unhinged tales that are remarkably delightful.

Why you ask? I say, why not.

(It was a rabbit hole I fell into instead of doing chores... You're welcome...I think.)

Updating!

The only smut I've ever liked left me thinking "what the FUCK was that?". Parasites, priests becoming vegetables, shrek...the world is your oyster
