Recs if you like Yours Truly ...

If you love a pathetic, down bad, simp of a man… look no further

this is for aesthetics only

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

It’s a cruel irony that taking a sick day means being at home with nothing to do, but very little brain power with which to read.

Enter this list, a collection of books from various genres that don’t require too much brain power but are still GOOD. Accessible prose, storylines that aren’t overly convoluted, and often short chapters or frequent break points. And of course, easy to pick back up after dozing off!

Suggestions welcome!

green flag alert ! dont be fooled, this list is all about MMCs that love their own or their partners pet cat(s)

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

To Whom It May Concern,

Are you ever stuck wishing your 9 to 5 was more exciting? Live vicariously through these stories without risk of getting a call from HR. It’s taboo and against the rules but it’s fiction, so enjoy all you want! Let’s set up a meeting with your next read and hopefully take it offline afterwards ❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Your local spicy romance connoisseur💋

Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Tongue in cheek list inspired by the book titled above, here is a list of all the romance books I have read with my IRL book club!

Having a space that embraces the love story and all tropes/themes/sub genres has been so wonderful and is what got me back into my reading journey, so I hope this does that for you!

These small-town romance are getting organized! It’s not just about falling in love, it’s about taking a stand. Each heroine goes toe-to-toe with the corporate machine, fighting to protect the local businesses and family legacies that make their town home. Who doesn’t love a good romance and a little anti-corporate rebellion?
