Recs if you like Captive Prince (Captive Prince, #1)...

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!

Books where one of the main character(s) pretends to be someone they’re not—literally. Always open to suggestions!

Books with obsessive and/or codependent queer relationships (relationship doesn't have to be canon but the vibes™ should be there)

This list is dedicated to the couples who crossed the line only after they actively tried to murder each other. The stakes here are life-or-death, not simple "rivalry" or "bullying". When I say enemies, I mean literally lethal. I'm always looking to add more bodies to this pile - please feel free to share your hit lists with me!

MLM enemies to lovers (please suggest more I need them haha)

your 2016 book blog called it misses you

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

And Sci-fi. These are mostly sapphic, though. Open to recs

Secret plots, political moves, and pursuits of power all within imperial, royal, or noble courts. Feedback and recs welcome!

Again, just wanted to make this list because I haven't seen one like it! Leave suggestions if you have some :D

"Her fierce creature of a mind: sleek and sharp-clawed and utterly unwilling to be caught." from The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski

Science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the land down under. A mix of old faves and fresh blood.

I've been reading genre romance for going-on-30 years now and I wanted to highlight some of the books that I've enjoyedbut that have either faded into obscurity or never made it big to begin with. Be Aware! Some of these books are going to be pretty dated! Please check the original publishing dates so you know what you're getting into. I'm also happy to provide any CWs/TWs/heat levels for any book listed if you ask in the comments! (Note: I've also included some romantic fantasy/scifi in this list.)

For when attraction feels indistinguishable from vengeance. Achillean romances built on rivalry, old wounds, forbidden desire, obsession, political or familial loyalties, and the kind of hatred that has become far too intimate to be simple hate. Bonus points for princes, power imbalances, doomed devotion, and men who can’t decide whether they want to kiss each other or ruin each other’s lives.

The list of LGBTQ books used as an excuse for political prosecution. After the office of a publishing house was searched by the police, a list made by that publishing house surfaced online. It contained several LGBTQ titles published previously and a request for booksellers to dispose of them. The list made clear a reason behind the search – selling LGBTQ content (that is labeled extremist in Russia). It was later confirmed by newly started lawsuit against the staff of the publishing house

Two nobles arranged in marriage, magical worlds, fragile political alliances, kingdoms at stake... what could go wrong?

Some marriages will flourish, some are simply convenient, and some won't end happily ever after ❤️‍🔥

curated list of my fave fiction that have authentic and in-depth portrayals of the bi+ experience—often through intersections with gender expansiveness and the aromantic/asexual spectrums—as attraction that transcends gender, and/or the unique simultaneous embodiment of homosexuality and heterosexuality.
