Recs if you like We Free the Stars...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

books where sisters’ love, hatred, or general angst towards each other is a main factor in [making you cry]/furthering the plot. Including classics/popular fiction, but particularly taking recc’s for standalone/underrepresented genres/nonfiction!!

Lets give our brothers and sisters who write fiction the platform they deserve ☀️

when the cover is absolutely doing its job correctly

(gorgeous, funny, and uniquely fitting covers, all in one)

The two love interests are forced to get cozy sharing one saddle for part of their journey to their dismay and our absolute delight.

This list is for all spice levels. As a note this may not necessarily be a big part of the book as this is a microtrope. Recs welcome!

for when you dont want too much commitment

These can be contemporary, fantasy or science fiction.

Also NO Zionist authors. If any of these authors are Zionists pls tell me so i can remove their books.

(More like popular books i want to read but I'm terrified to start because i fear I'll be disappointed But yeah they don't have spice i checked trigger warnings.)

mena fantasy, romantasy, mythology master list

What it says on the tin. I've heard truly excellent things about all of these, so maybe give them a try if you haven't yet?

Books with Muslim characters/ settings or by Muslims from across the globe.

well written, no notes

because two is company and some stories are complete in pairs

my low cringe tolerance can't take anymore 1-2 star books. I refuse to get into another reading slump

fantasy books that end after book 2

I'm trying to read more diverse books / authors and omg you miss so much if you don't.

Any books that have magical masquerades/ ball scenes (with romance!!) that sweep you off your feet and make you forget they’re just words on a page. Any recommendations are welcome!!
