Recs if you like You, Me, & the Conspiracy...

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

For the readers who watched The X-Files and thought, “Okay, but what if I want the monster?”

A weird little list of paranormal rom-coms, cryptid crushes, alien encounters, werewolf nonsense, Loch Ness longing, conspiracy chaos, and supernatural love interests who are probably bad for your blood pressure but excellent for the plot.

Bring snacks, suspend disbelief, and please do not flirt with Bigfoot unsupervised.

characters on the hunt for hidden treasure!

Professor kink and professor-kink adjacent romances

usually over caffeinated + often underpaid + maybe (definitely) in love = academic romance! These books are specifically about characters who work in the world of academia (professors, post-docs, etc.), not just students in a university setting.

recs are welcome and appreciated!
