  • mlm versus wlw romances in terms of popularity

    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?

    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.

  • Favorite books of 2025?

    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.
