do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

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

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

This list features book covers illustrated by Utah-based artist Brittany Keller. Her art features delicate textures, soft shadows, and gorgeous character work. She is also the designer of a gorgeous tarot set titled Lovely Ladies! You can find her art on Etsy 😌

Romance books where the MMC has a mustache. Mustache rides may or may not be included 🤭

From mistletoe moments to midnight kisses, these romances capture the magic of the season across all kinds of celebrations. Curl up with a cozy drink and fall in love with the holidays.

yes exactly what the title says. Ghost f*cking indeed

No, I haven't read all 50 books, but after reading dozens of popular but disappointing Christmas romances, I did my research. I'm sharing them here! They're well-rated on most sites, even if some don’t have their ratings on PB yet. I hope you make some new discoveries! 🎄 There's something for everyone. 🎁

Cute, cozy and festive for the nice. Spicy with a side of creative use of fairy lights for the naughty. Regardless if you want some ho-ho-wholesome or ho-ho-horny or a little bit of both, there is a holiday read for you.

kind of struggling with books where the MC's instantly get together or hook up, so here are some book recs where the couple waits until at least 50% of the book to get together

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!

Romances for any and all holidays. Come for the festivities, stay for the romance - or vice versa!
