  • Adult Clean Romantasy

    I love Romantasy but I'm not a spice person and I feel weird reading only Romantasy about high schoolers. Does anyone have good Adult Clean Romantasy books? I know they are out there.

  • "does it have smut/spice?"—and why this question annoys me

    I might be shitting on a lot of readers and okay, anyone can read whatever they want to. Who cares. But here's my qualm with it, the question annoys me so so so much whenever I see it below marketing posts and reviews. Why is this question so important? Is that the sole marker of your reading list? Not that there's anything wrong with spice but there are specific genres that are catered to your reading preferences so why would you ask that below random books? Especially IF IT'S YA??? THEY ARE TEENAGERS. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT MINORS HAVING SEX??? THAT'S WEIRD. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SARAH J MASS) It gives this narrative that books need to be spicy to have good romance and that's just not true. It's because of this mindset that so many authors who have genuinely good stories with potential feel to need to have smut addded to them UNNECESSARILY because otherwise a lot of readers won't pick it up. THERE IS A WHOLE GENRE FOR YOU — EROTICA. IT'S CALLED EROTICA. Can you please pick up erotica instead of asking that question under posts about random books. PLEASE. LET ME ENJOY MY NON SMUT ROMANCE/THRILLER/FANTASY/MYTERY IN PEACE. I'M BEGGIN YOU Edit: A good example of this was people asking "does it have smut" under a post about The Last Tiger by The Riew Siblings. They'd clearly mentioned in the post that the book was a fictional retelling of their grandparents' very real story AND on top of that it was YA. And then you ask. Does. It. Have. Smut??? Be for real right now please 😭
