Big Kids Club π Older women in their 30s+
There's a lot to be said about your 20s, but life afterwards is just as sweet! Here is a list of books where the FMC is age 30+ so you can enjoy a little more maturity and a totally different POV on life. This one is dedicated to my fellow millennials π«Ά I'll update as I continue to read. Please share any suggestions you have for our friends in the comments.

Friends-to-lovers starter pack <3
My absolute fav trope in the world!!! because nothing hits harder than the slow burn, the pining, the βweβve always been just friendsβ until suddenly one touch changes everything ππ Likeβ¦ the history, the comfort, the way they already know each otherβs hearts, it just makes the romance 10x more swoony.

if books were a season: fall edition
books iβve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall
no rhyme or reason, just β¨vibesβ¨
**iβm including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc
