Books with titles or plots where you begin to suspect the author might have been a musical theatre kid. Gimme them musical theatre recs. We are specifically looking for "the musical came first" here.

A collection of books about heroes who aren't obscenely wealthy.

Romances with ticking clocks and clear time frames, about how this impacts conflict and makes books more breathless, and of course about the books that deploy this strategy perfectly. Inside, you'll find road trips and adventures, vacation romances and romantic suspense, house parties and that classic romance chestnut: "I have 30 days to get pregnant."
