Police officers, detectives, investigators. Will they find out who stole their heart?

Mostly achillean/mm romance

This is still a work in progress.

A lot of people ask me where to start with reading comics. This list will feature plenty of standalone series and one-offs. But anything from a serialized series will feature a good jumping on point.

I'm going to try and not have any repetition with creators, just to keep things broad.

Competent FMCs who start off badass instead of helpless, no training montage needed. (Disclaimer: maybe some need a little bit of training 🤏 but the mentality is already there.)

Recs welcome.

Trilogies. Trilogies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some I've simply come across. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put all books in a trilogy in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Non-fiction works about women who went to space or worked for NASA/ESA/JAXA/Roscosmos/etc. Also (in a rarity for me) includes children's books.

middle grade adventures! recs welcome :)

there’s a special place in my heart for middle grade novels. i think they have the hardest audience—they’re written for a group defined by transition, bridging the gap between childhood and adolescence by creating space in the in-between. when done well, their universal themes (like change!) and prose make the books translatable to any age. since it feels like that should be impossible, i’m convinced authors of this age group are geniuses.

Books that open so well the rest has no choice but to deliver.

Book couples where one is type A, neurotic, a stickler for the rules (or their own personal code), and has their shit together (or is trying REALLY hard), while the other is a gremlin, chaotic, messy, ocassionally unhinged, and makes their own rules. They seem diametrically opposed but secretly admire the other’s way of moving through the world.

Please drop more recs in the comments if you have them because I will be eating this shit up every time!!!
