Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

have you ever thought about what a prehensile tail might be able to do? well, you’re in luck because these authors have and let me tail you, it’s a tail yeah for me.

this is a list of books that have tail play in some way, whether it’s just a lil play or full on penetration, the tails have it.

Books with weird, strange, absurd, or just hilarious titles Please comment your own suggestions

a list of sci-fi books containing aliens

Alien Romances

Black girls deserve their happily ever after as well!

Why settle when you can have a monster obsessed with you.

Monster, Mermen, Alien, Entity, Demons, Vampires, Wolf, Orc, ect.

Horror, Fantasy, Romance, and Smut.

Straight & queer

Standalone & series Only first books in series were added because why would you read a second book if you didn't like the first.

I went through all the books in the romance quest tab and here are all the ones where at least one of leads is in a relationship that is not "man and woman falling in love with each other." F/F, M/M, F/NBi, M/NBi, NBi/NBi, etc. Largely motivated by wanting to figure out which romance book quests I had a chance of getting the badges for. If I missed any, let me know. Quest specific info in the pinned comment.

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

who doesn’t love a throuple romance? so long as there’s three people, no matter the configuration, and it’s at least a little gay, i’m putting it on this list. if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

a collection of the "smut of the month" books featured on the Reading Smut podcast hosted by Brea Grant and Mallory O'Meara. "a show about spicy books and the people who love them!"

Book Attic

Fiction with big cats! This year I kept running into big cats in the books I was reading and now I have enough to make a list (plus the lion witch and the wardrobe)

Dinosaur fiction for adults.

Living, non-anthropomorphised dinos only (i.e. not just bones and no beasties having a chat). Only the first book in a series unless subsequent books are iconic (like Jurassic Park and The Lost World).

May include spice, gore, bad words, and other fun adulty stuff.

All the books covered on the monthly deep-dive episodes of the Reading Smut podcast. More will be added as episodes drop.
