Recs if you like It's Different This Time...

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 🫶 I'll update as I continue to read. Please share any suggestions you have for our friends in the comments.

cozy no commitment reads for spooky season!

chefs, bakers, baristas, chocolatiers—unite! whether you’re a fan of sweet or savoury, these titles are bound to raise the heat in the kitchen (and the bedroom)

You know what this is

These romances are a love letter in more ways then one...

Just a few cozy romance books to enjoy autumn mood.

A list of romances and romcoms perfect for reading during the autumn/fall season. Grab a cozy blanket, a hot cup of tea, and join me!

As per usual, I am only including the first book for series.

Cozy season

These are the books that were chosen for the longlist for CBC Canada Reads.

Romance books with fall vibes: cozy setting, festive activities, leafy covers or a little bit of something spooky and supernatural!

🍂It's the ber months and I'm sure there are people going crazy over pumpkin spice anything already so may as well add it to your TBR. A mixture of spicy and closed door for all readers, perfect to snuggle up with a hot cup of whatever.🍂

books about actors, artists, dancers, musicians, writers, and other creatives

My absolute fav trope in the world!!! because nothing hits harder than the slow burn, the pining, the “we’ve always been just friends” until suddenly one touch changes everything 😭💌 Like… the history, the comfort, the way they already know each other’s hearts, it just makes the romance 10x more swoony.

Favorite Second Chance Romances

books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall

no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨

**i’m 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

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️
