Hi! I know mental health is rarely represented in romance (and other genres too tbh), but I was wondering if you know any romances with OCD MCs (bonus points if SHE'S the one with OCD)

i'm someone who loves reading physically but whenever i'm a little bored with what's going on, i skim for "just a few pages!" to see what's next and then suddenly i'm at the end of the book and i've spoiled the ending for myself. this most recently happened with Sunrise On The Reaping and House of Earth and Blood. but i don't mark those books as finished cause i technically didn't read the whole thing, and then for some reason i want to skip ahead and reread my favorite parts even though... if i actually read the book i'll be rereading them anyway?!?!? which in turn makes my reading process 2-3x longer

this has been a bad reading habit of mine for years, so it'll be pretty damn hard to break, but i'm determined to- i'm so tired of spoiling books for myself 😫 one thing i've noticed is that i won't do this for audiobooks cuz it's too annoying, but i like reading & listening. i have tried immersive reading but my eyes want to read faster than the narrator and there is no one speed that works for me. i have the same skipping problem with ebooks too. i've also tried reading while doing something with my hands (like playing with putty) which does help a lot, but my family makes fun of me for it...

has anyone else had this issue and broken free of it? i'm desperate, i will try anything!

edit: adding that i am ADHD-inattentive because that might help contextualize it a little bit.

So I was reading reviews of this book on Goodreads since it has more reviews there and there was a review marked as non-spoilery but as I got to the end there was a quote from the end of the book (like towards the end)😑 What bothered me is that it was a huge revelation and plot twist, which makes it a spoiler😩 I haven't read the whole quote, I only caught a glimpse of it and escaped but it was enough to spoil some of the conflict resolution for me😭😭 Am I overreacting or am I justified to be upset? Would you feel the same? What do you think of this issue?

I was made aware today that we reached the cap limit for books (100), actually we passed it. 🥹

I’m no longer in charge of this quest, but it was amazing, I love movies and I love books, so it was a dream to me to be able to take care of it for the time I did.

Hopefully good things will come for this quest. ☺️ I’ll continue to be here!

Much Love Miawgical. ✨💜

As you’ve likely noticed there’s a lot of YA/Adult Novels & Novellas included in this quest and a few outliers here and there. I want to discuss what kind of books you want to see in the future. Keep in mind there will be no more than 100 books added to this quest in the totality of it’s existence (we’ll be working our way up to there starting at 40 books and adding an average of 5 books every 3 months (ideally)) Here’s what’s up for discussion:

Horror Erotica: Do you want to see it in the quest? It would certainly open up our horizons and options more but if no one wants any, it doesn’t have to be included. We already have a few horror romance options in the quest so I don’t think it would be a big deal to add horror erotica but I know those books can be a little harder to come by. I was thinking of adding somewhere between 1-5 in the mix.

Horror Manga: As you can likely tell, I haven’t included any quite yet but I wanted to see if anyone has any explicit interest in it. An example would be The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol 1 in which I would only add the first volume because there’s no need to flood the quest with one manga series. I was thinking somewhere around 3-5.

Horror Graphic Novels & Comics: I will be including Graphic Novels in this quest but I wanted to discuss if we also wanted horror comics including: An example would be House of Slaughter, Vol. 1: The Butcher’s Mark. I also wanted to discuss how many GNs we would like to see in this quest. I was thinking, eventually, around 15 GNs and/or comics in the mix but that benchmark could be moved up or done depending on feedback.

Middle Grade/Children’s Horror: Do we want to see more of it? I know there’s already a LGBTQ+ Middle Grade quest so there could be a small bit of overlap but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Please feel free to discuss anything else you might want to see more/less of in this quest. I’m very passionate about this quest but I’ll always want some sort of input from y’all. Thank you in advance for sharing your opinions with me. 🫶🏽

Can't help but feel like this is missing something. The writing isn't bad and I like the storyline so far, but I just don't care enough. Maybe I should read the french edition instead...
