Recs if you like Bad Words...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

Book titles that could ostensibly fit the cadence of a string of words your Grandmother utters when she's trying not to swear. (Yes this is the stupidest list idea I've ever had) (Inspired by my late grandfather-in-law, who once uttered "Jiminy Christmas!" when his flabbers were ghasted, a phrase I will not soon forget.)

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

All the 2026 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

another trend I've noticed lately - bisected & dual color covers

AKA: I love you almost as much as I love books

Romances and rom-coms with at least one main character who works in/around/with books (editor, publisher, author, seller, librarian, professor, etc)

Always open to suggestions!

I'm on a quest to find adult romance books that feature Asian protagonists. Placing all my findings here :)

All the Illumicrate, Afterlight, Evernight, Starbright, etc. picks for 2026

The title speaks for itself 🤝

Will be updated as the year goes on ✨ open to comments ✨

With How Good They Were!

Female Asian Americans & Asian-coded protagonists in fiction (also Asian diaspora beyond America)

We haven't read these, but if we somehow find time to read 18 books in October, these will be those books.

He is not the love of your life! He is literally just a guy! Hit him with your car!

Otherwise entertaining romance books ruined by toxic MMCs. The girls deserve so much better.

Asian (including Asian-coded) MMC love interests in romance books including both M/F romance and Reverse Harems (aka Why Choose)

Romances for devil goats. You know a corporate office is a downright erotic setting to you.

Irish writers & books set in Ireland

i’m walkin’ here!

Books that take place in NYC and New York
