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!

when “a love for the ages” goes literal, these romances bend time, break rules, and (mostly) spark joy in every timeline.

books about time slips, loops, travel, and alternate realities

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.

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release. These have been announced to be in production but some don’t have a set date for release so don’t hate me if they don’t come out by 2027 😆

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

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.

Books that involve time loops of some kind. These will not include 'normal' time travel, and mostly focus on books that repeat the same stretch of time

A list in progress...books where a span of time is repeated, the story plays with non-linear narratives or jumps through time...

If dad-jokes were book titles, it would be pretty punny.

Magical realism romances

Festive reads of various genres to put you in the holiday mood!

Suggestions welcome.

The following books take place during the winter and would be perfect to read by the fireplace this holiday season!

Books to read before the adaptations come out! (movies and series!)

romance books that have some touch of magic or whimsy that are not fantasy...alternate universes are frequently found here

Christmas/winter is always a fun holiday to wrap yourself up in a warm blanket , with a cup of hot chocolate or tea. I'm not judging you reading a book .

The smell of a new book is such a good smell don't cha think?

Reccomadations welcome

This is mostly romance because that seems to be what is mostly written for xmas-themed books, but if anyone has any other recs I would love that!
