we found arousal in an inconvenient place
for when you need to juggle acting normal, giving in to your bodys reaction, and not giving yourself away ๐
getting a boner in a public space just at the thought of someone, unexpected sexy time at a restaurant, public remote play, getting aroused when you know its wrong, a brush of a hand or a butt and oops! im horny: all of these plus more!
the aim of the game is dont let anyone โจknowโจ

if the cast of Dropout.tv were a book, theyโd beโฆ
Alternatively, these are books Iโd recommend to each Dropout cast member if given the opportunity to do so! Iโll be including a legend in the comments to clarify which book goes with each person. I know Iโm missing people, so if you have a good suggestion for a book recommendation that goes with someone I havenโt already mentioned, please share!

Feel good romance books
Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Books about library workers and libraries
Does what it says on the tin (or the back of the book?). This list is specifically about the people who make libraries work as well as libraries as a concept, but not books that only use the library as a setting for a novel (there are other amazing lists that already do that!).
4
Slow and Steady
Romance books with characters and a romance that feels mature. There is no or very low drama in the romance itself. It's often a slowburn, sometimes medium burn and feels very natural. The characters are either emotionally aware, possess a decent level of emotional intelligence, or are actively trying to communicate even if it's hard. Aside from the romance there is ample time for the characters to have growth on their own.
Keywords; Mature, slow/med burn, no drama, steady, emotional security.

Soft books to help my seasonal depression
sunny settings, or books that feel sunny and offer escapism from the winter blues in an eclectic blend of genres.
Editing to add: okay some of these books are SAD, my dudes, just like my seasonal affective disorder. But at the same time, they are soft and kind and a safe place for the big sad, if that makes sense?

A main character walks into a bar...
Bartenders, sommeliers, and distillers in love. Recommendations enthusiastically accepted, especially for queer romance!

My love language is when he makes her food
If the male character takes the time to cook or feed her, I WILL BE ON MY KNEES! That is the kind of care and thoughtfulness that I just eat up. It's not necessarily golden retriever energy. It's proactive and nuturing. Pls pls pls drop recs in the comments.
