Books I read for my master's degree and some that would have fit the curriculum.

October is a time for spook, but it's also a time for the long tradition of Kinktober - prompt events focused on making kinky fan and original creations! I run Kinks-Your-Tober, a prompt-a-day event, on various platforms, and I'm also a kink writer, so I proposed that Duck Prints Press's group of recommendation-makers put together a list of our favorite queer reads with explicit content, and here we are!

Some Monster Romances that I have personally enjoyed or have interested me. Some of these don't have a lot of pages so they're good for introducing yourself to the genre. Don't worry if it seems they are part of a series as they are just interlinked universes. Have fun!

A list of manga/manga-style books with a Black character(s) as the lead/main character.

This list is currently a work in progress.

A collection of stories where books, manuscripts, texts, diaries, letters, and other written works become central to the story—revealing secrets, deepening mysteries, connecting characters, or changing the course of their lives. For readers who love stories where the written word is more than just words on a page. 📖✨

It can be funny, or heartwarming, or just pretty 💝 Breaking the stereotype that picture books are only for children, people of all ages can enjoy them too! I like to use picture books to get out a reading slump, and they’re a great choice when all you’re in the mood for is a bit of light reading. Only picture books marketed for children are included in this list

Let’s get this trauma worked through!
