Stabby Justice ๐ช ๐
Thanks to Madhoney for giving me the title. These are some of the books I love where women decide to rid the world of scum in creative and not so gentle ways.

Denial is a river in Egypt
A list where the MC is in denial about something at some point, and we'd probably all be better off if they just admitted it !
This is based on my take of the MCs, but I'm open to critique and discussion about the books chosen to be part of the list, and always open to suggestions.
I'd also like to note that, although we might judge a little, we do not shame people who are in denial, nor dismiss whatever hardships they're going through.

Itโs (hand)cuffing season
When books turn knotty naughty and one of the characters gets tied up. ๐คญ๐
โCause I might be bad, but Iโm perfectly good at itโฆ ๐ถ
Nothing like some bondage scene to spice things up. From shibari to handcuffs, from tentacles to cowboys who really know how to use a lasso, and wether the FMC or MMC is the one restrained, there is a little bit of everything in here.
I havenโt read every book here, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. Suggestions are always very welcum ๐ฆ

The audiobook is twice as fun!
Of the many audiobooks I have listened, these are the ones that add so much to the reading experience. To miss out on these narrations would be an utter shame. These are recitations. These are performances!
