Recs if you like Romantic Comedy...

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!

Each month Reese Witherspoon picks books she loves with a woman at the center of the story.

reese's complete picks- trying to read as many of these as i can... but we shall see

Some people like their male leads to be alpha chads. I'm not one of them. I like them soft. I like them anxious. I like them doing traditionally female jobs and roles and hobbies.

Mostly romance because that's what I read but other genres present.

Usually just adding the first volume in the series unless they are stand-alones or have distinctly different focus/MCs (most romance series).

Womanhood! Contemporary Romance featuring women over the age of 30 & 40! Adults falling in love!

our hearts beat in unison <3 p.s: this is not a personal list. these are recommendations i found myself. enjoy :)

This list features books with covers designed by New York-based, Houston-born designer Cassie Vu. She is a Senior Designer for Penguin Random House's art department. Her covers boast loud, bold lettering and striking colour gradients. Her website features a "cover graveyard", showcasing different iterations of covers that were ultimately chosen, which I highly recommend perusing.

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

The perfect romance reads for reading by the pool, the lake, or your favorite reading spot with the AC cranked! These books feel like sunshine and love!

Books that people have recommended that I’ve confused with another book due to the cover or title (and sometimes both)

not humor books, but still laugh out loud funny

Books that have been made into a TV series or Movie
