Recs if you like My Mechanical Romance...

These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author

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!

Women are unrepresented in STEM. Based on the numbers from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, women account for only 29.3% of STEM federal workers.

This is a small, very niche, list of romance novels that feature women in male dominated fields! Please share any other romance novels featuring women in a STEM field, I would be honored to add them to the list!

RAHHH FILO PRIDE 🦅🦅🦅

This list is full of women who solve problems, break rules, run experiments, ask inconvenient questions, and generally refuse to stay in the lanes they were assigned. Fiction and non-fiction, from romance to history. Welcome to the nerdy, brilliant chaos.

So often scientist characters in fiction are hard to find, portrayed in a way that’s scientifically inaccurate, or prone to stereotypes.

Think evil mad scientists, characters with zero social awareness, or people who don’t have interests or hobbies outside of being obsessed with their work.

This list is for books with characters who feel like real people, and just happen to be scientists. Huge nerds with equally huge personalities.

(Will accept fantasy characters who are scientist coded)

I hope this doesn’t find you by Ann Liang introduced me to the rivals to lovers trope so these are the books I found while desperately trying to fill the hole in my heart! (Some of these books contain spice and some of them don’t, so make sure you check whether they do or don’t according to your preference)

Fiction books about women who are smart, capable and really into science.

Heated competition of BRAINS, Witty banter, Nerdy romance through and through.

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.

I’ve learned that I like when a YA romance book has characters with hobbies or talents that they’re obsessed with (& it’s basically their whole personality lol). I learn a lot of random facts while also appreciating people who actually pursue these interests. 😌

What it says on the tin. A work in progress, too.

Cozy ‘the D&D party’s journey between the adventures’, Retired Adventurers, Western Isekai?, and Contemporary Nerd Romance Recs involving Online RPG, TTG, and Girls in STEM.
