A slight twist on the pregnancy trope in fictional romance where one of the characters is either pregnant or recently gave birth to not his/their baby and they are along for the ride.

Open to recs

Books where you just know the end of the book will go 💥 BOOM💥

well written, no notes

Romance reads across genres with childfree characters/storylines. This shows up in different ways. Its either a given, not a part of the plot or a conclusion. That said, it doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any child characters in the story. If you need details and I'll dig into my memory to verify. I'm open to recs, but I want to be really clear about the nature of their childfree status, so any explanation you can provide would be great.

Chaotic people being sassy af Bold,unashamed and unapologetic menaces

Not a list of good disability and neurodivergent representation in the apocalypse (though some of them absolutely are!), but, rather, we exist in these apocalyptic situations, as a big enough part of the story that I feel it qualifies!

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome!

I have come to realise I am driven to stories which have a big focus on trauma. Here is a list of what I have already finished and enjoyed with a big focus on trauma either directly or indirectly through metaphors. Some of theses will be more intense than others, please do read the description of each one for content warnings. I will try to keep this updated as I read more, you can mention recommendations in the comments but I won't add anything unless I have read it myself xD

IN PROGRESS AS OF MAY 2026 (I'm rewatching it and trying to put everything in chronological order of the show T.T) - Every single book directly mentioned, referenced in a joke, or clearly seen in the show Gilmore Girls, because I'm obsessed and challenging myself to read them all. I'm also including if they mentioned a movie that's based on a book.

titles that are literally censored not to be confused with banned books.

this is a curated list. avoiding self help and business type content.

suggestions welcome but will be vetted.

All of these are from the 850 books long list that Texas lawmaker Matt Krause in October of 2021 tried and in many cases succeeded to get banned from classrooms and school libraries. There are quite a few interesting and odd choices in there which is part of why I wanted to share this list on here. It will obviously take me a while to get anywhere near the complete list but I will try

i see soooo many books these days where the titles are just song lyrics or titles so here is a list of them. i am ONLY including books that were influenced by a song, not the other way around (example: wuthering heights by kate bush was inspired by the book, so wuthering heights the book will not be on this list).

I would like to read more romance but I end up hating most of the books I pick up - whether that's due to me being too picky or the books being trash is up for discussion. Anyway, here is a list of love stories I actually did enjoy; not all of these are strictly 'romance' as a genre but the love story is a main feature of the story. All of these have good writing, realistic and/or likeable characters, and an interesting plot. If you have recommendations that check these boxes, PLEASE comment.

sapphic books that i don't see people talk about that often and that deserve more attention!! most of these books have 1000, oftentimes under 500 ratings
