Recs if you like Wild Rain...

Every year we pick 10 books that we think rise above the rest. These are the 70 we've picked since 2019.

Updated to include our Best of 2025 picks.

Romance reads across genres with childfree characters/storylines. This shows up in different ways. Its either a given, not a part of the plot or a conclusion. That said, it doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any child characters in the story. If you need details I'll dig into my memory to verify. I'm open to recs, but I want to be really clear about the nature of their childfree status, so any explanation you can provide would be great.

A growing historical romance book list for the weary bookish time traveler. Not limited to the Regency era.

For people who love watching Bridgerton for its diversity and want to read more historical romances that are genuinely diverse

does it rain all the time where you live? or maybe it hardly ever rains where you live? I’m in the latter, it hardly ever rains here, but it did last night and I was inspired to create this list. here is a list of books with rain in the title ☔️

as always, taking any and all suggestions!

Historical romcom books that subvert the genre beyond two cis straight white able bodied people of a similar class. Think the Bridgerton TV Show but even more!

Let me know if you have any recs to add!!

Romances so good that we're jealous of people who haven't read them yet, because we know what they're in for.

These books include couples that do not plan to have children ever. I've also added a few books where they don't even talk about kids and there's no baby in the epilogue.

because unfortunately there is still a painful dearth of happy endings that don’t default to marriage and reproduction, especially in hetero romance. 🫠
