Do you guys have any theories as to why most people seem to prefer mlm over wlw? Especially considering that most romance readers are women and if you are reading gay romances you would be more on the progressive scale so one wouldn't immediately sus you out for misogyny. Any ideas?

What are your YA recs for 2026? I already have a TON of romance planned, so preferably contemporary or speculative please :)
lorbdes finished reading and wrote a review...
I don't think books with a Hallmark plot are for me. The whacky, unrealistic, almost magical/whimsical events really took me out of the immersion, and I found myself not caring for the plot or the characters. It's definitely fun, but I found the book mostly dragged.

What was everyone's favorite Book from this year? I would love recs, but also just really interested. So far, mine has been a tie between Swordheart by T. Kingfisher, The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow and When the Wolf Comes home by Nat Cassidy.

An introduction to the Classics, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.
