rise & grind
romance books featuring scenes of dry humping / grinding / frottage ⛓️ if you thought this list has anything to do with coffee or getting money, i apologise (kinda)
dry humping as foreplay can be hotter than penetration and these MCs live up to it. bonus points if they get caught or have to stop before things go further 🎠 so, jump on and take a (dry) ride, things are about to heat up (and possibly get wet)






One Book Many Quests
Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?






driving down country roads listening to noah kahan
books that feel like you are driving 60 mph down a country road on a late summer day (leaning closer to a crisp fall day) while feeling complicated, nostalgic, and a little messed up inside 🍂🐛
(posting because i am TOOO excited about the release of noah's new album!! additional recs are more than welcome!)






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!
