Mother Nature (Natural Phenomena on the Cover)
Based on the HRCYED 3.0 prompt! Books with weather or natural disasters/phenomena on the cover (at least one version), including: rain, storms, lightning, clouds, snowfall, fog, sunshine, tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis.
Not an exhaustive list - feel free to suggest titles! I tried to keep it more focused on books that fit the prompt but would be harder to find (i.e. ones that don't have the key words in the title).
Holiday Fake Dating
Fake dating but during the holidays. Thought these deserved their own spot separate to the fake dating list I made :) feel free to comment them
Food and Drinks!
Novels of various genres about food, drinks, or other treats!
Books with puns in the title
If dad-jokes were book titles, it would be pretty punny.
Seasons gReadings!
Festive reads of various genres to put you in the holiday mood!
Suggestions welcome.

Holiday/Winter Romance - RomCom preferred *
Holiday/winter romances that I've read or on TBR. I tend to go for a lighter, romcom feel but might have others in here. Share some recs with meeeeee.
Hanukkah Reads
Holiday Reads
Some are nostaglic feels, others are cheesy. Very silly and very random. Either childish or intense. Classic but maybe steamy. It will make you laugh, cry or cringe. Meh I dunno it's what you expect with holiday novels.
