Recs if you like A Merry Little Meet Cute...

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

a collection of the "smut of the month" books featured on the Reading Smut podcast hosted by Brea Grant and Mallory O'Meara. "a show about spicy books and the people who love them!"

Romance books with (at least) 2 bisexual main characters.

Includes all subgenres of romance (contemporary romance, fantasy romance, monster romance, dark romance, etc...). Currently listing only books that I have read.

Romance novels where the MCs are an MF couple that is straight-presenting, but one or both is/are queer

Romance books that i think have nice and cozy vibes. Any recs welcome

Romance novels with fat people living their lives, being hot, and not obsessing about their body size.

All of these books feature a run-down but beloved diner or dive bar that serves as a safe space for our protagonists. Sometimes, it's a conveniently open location to visit in the middle of the night in order to hide from a pursuer, and other times its a beloved neighbourhood staple that just needs a little bit of TLC. The server knows your name, how you like your eggs, and exactly why the girl across the booth from you has a twinkle in her eye.

All the books covered on the monthly deep-dive episodes of the Reading Smut podcast. More will be added as episodes drop.

Books that take place in New England.

All hail our Lorax style mouthpiece Mr. Noah Kahan.

Fat ladies finding love! (The ones worth reading in my opinion)

A sprinkling of different books with plus-size and curvy love interests!

Please tell me your 5-star plus size reads! AND whether the story is mainly about being bigger (eg: Mile High) or if the character is repping for the curvy but focused on other aspects of their life (eg: Next Best Fling).

These are the books I either couldn’t finish or probably should have given up on earlier. Whether it was because they just didn’t click, felt too slow, or didn’t live up to the hype, sometimes books just don’t vibe, and it’s okay to let them go.
