weird romance/erotic books
If I had a nickle for every time a book about milk and minotaurs ended up on my TBR because of book social media, I’d have 2 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.
This is dedicated to the weird AF romance/erotic books I’ve come across.
erotic ≠ smutty (necessarily) it just may be erotically charged (ie Lobster)
submissions welcome
