this list is not to be confused with mastication
self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.
if you hate the word ‘masturbation’, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax ⛰️ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

no third act breakup!
do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!
greatly inspired by @beanchambers on tiktok

Characteristics of a berserkir 🪓
Romances with Vikings, Barbarians, Berserkers and other warlords as the mmc.
Books where he maybe…invades her country, is a feared warlord in their armies, is given to him as a warprize, or she is put into an arranged marriage with him as part of a alliance or peace negotiations…or maybe he is a alien race that actually goes beserk when he’s angry 🤷♀️.






Thanks, it’s the✨Trauma ✨
Books where the main character is going through it, (or has gone through it), and dammit they’re dealing with it as best they can. Romantasy, SFR mainly! But a few memoirs and litfic too. ❤️🩹 Always open to more suggestions ❤️🩹
*Check the TW/CW as some of these books are dark romances. If I’ve left a review, I will usually leave a comment w the info






Sci-fi/alien romances 👏🏻👏🏻
Alien romances from Kindle Unlimited are the only thing guaranteed to get me out of a reading slump. All are 4-5 stars !

People who love men with odd attachments 😉
