  • “Realistic” Class Difference Romance

    Hello everyone!

    There is a line from a manhwa that really stays with me: “The 50,000 won you spend on me could never be as precious as the 50,000 won I spend on you.” (One-Room TA by Jibung)

    It makes me really interested to read something similar to this line. Does anyone has any recs for class difference romance that also explores the characters’ class disparity and how it affects their relationship? Not romance but friendship/siblinghood is also ok :) I typically read queer romance but I’m open to all type of recs!

    Also on the side note: what is the “proper” name for this trope? Class difference romance? Class divide romance? I have also seen people using cross-class romance, but honestly I’m not sure what is the “correct” one.

    Thank you so much in advance!!!

  • 26 in 2026 - List Creation

    I love booktok/booktube/etc or book content in general including looking at everyone's 26 in 26 lists. It made me curious, if you're taking part, how did you make your list? Top books you wanted to read going into the year, so they were already released? Did you look at the list of upcoming books at the beginning of the year and make your list? But then what do you do when a new book gets released mid year? Do you have a running list you just add to throughout the year?

    Drop your 26 books too if you'd like to share!

    Seeing Wonwoo being quoted in the Praise section makes me feel like the Tiffany Pollard BEYONCÉ? meme, lol. Like no it’s fine I just didn’t expect to see Wonwoo 😭😭😭

    This book is doing a great job of shitting on both tradwife/nuclear family values and also the career woman. Both ends of the spectrum seem terrible kudos to this author for keeping it real
