Recs if you like The Poison Daughter...

books featuring older women protagonists, age 30 and up, in sci-fi and fantasy. for books containing multiple povs/protagonists, older fmcs should hold equal weight and presence in the story as other mcs. ideally, aiming for more women centred additions, but open to all suggestions and feedback!

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!

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!

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

Thanks to Madhoney for giving me the title. These are some of the books I love where women decide to rid the world of scum in creative and not so gentle ways.

There’s just something about a love interest washing or braiding someone's hair that gets me every single time 🥹

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!

There's a lot to be said about your 20s, but life afterwards is just as sweet! Here is a list of books where the FMC is age 30+ so you can enjoy a little more maturity and a totally different POV on life. This one is dedicated to my fellow millennials 🫶 I'll update as I continue to read. Please share any suggestions you have for our friends in the comments.

Who knew cardio could be this much fun? 🤭 These books include different levels of primal play scenes. Make sure to check your triggers!

oops! we broke the bed! - probably the characters in the books on this list

books where they break the bed 😈

as always, taking suggestions!!

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

Romantasy standalones from YA to Dark Romance

A collection of adult fantasy romance with mature main characters. This list includes both standalones and the first book in series. Let me know if you have any recs!!

All the 2026 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

Enter a court where stories are not simply told… they are embodied. This collection is reserved for duet and full-cast audiobooks only! Unlike single narration (one voice for all characters) or dual narration (one narrator per chapter or POV), duet narration means both narrators perform together throughout the story, each voicing their character in every scene. Full-cast audiobooks take it even further, with multiple voice actors embodying the entire world.

Romantasy books my favorite Toks are reading...both mainstream and indie

Books where the main character is going through it, (or has gone through it), and dammit they’re dealing with it as best they can. Romantasy, SFR mainly! But a few memoirs and litfic too. ❤️‍🩹 Always open to more suggestions ❤️‍🩹

*Check the TW/CW as some of these books are dark romances. If I’ve left a review, I will usually leave a comment w the info

there are wayyyy too many to keep track of so i’ll leave them here until they go into production/release

A list for people who don't want to be left waiting for the next book release.

• Includes: First books in completed series, standalones and interconnected standalones*

• Subgenres: Fantasy with significant romance plots, Romantasy and Romance in Fantasy Worlds
