Rainy Day Mood Reads
Spring has sprung (pun intended if you ready spicy romantasy/romancy books like us)! This time of year is perfect to cuddle up with some of our fave rainy day reads! All of these are kind of moody, kind of foggy, kind of rainy....🌧 You get the vibes.
Book Recs by Spice Level
🌶️ RECS BY SPICE LEVEL 🌶️ We have recs for our zero heat girlies all the way up to 5 alarm habanero sisters in smut 🚨🥵 The way we do our spice level rankings: ZERO : no mention of 🌶️ 🫑 : mild, can still have romance, but more YA on spice 🌶️ : dipping your toe into spice, polite, sweet 🌶️🌶️ : some shorter open door scenes, not as explicit 🌶️🌶️🌶️ : medium, multiple longer scenes, you are in the room 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ : hot, explicit, graphic, verging on filthy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ : sweating, learning, do not read in public, can include objects, sharing (why choose)
Duologies That Deliver
Sometime we feel like a series, sometimes we don't! A duology is a perfect compromise! Gives you a little more than a standalone but doesn't bog you down. These are some of our top recs (and some not in our personal fave lists, but hey - they might be yours)! Save, share and come back to it if you need to update your TBR in the future. Do you like to know spice, KU and audio avails, complete/incomplete? 💁‍♀️ We. Got. YOU! 💋

Reading is better when it’s all in one place

Your TBR, your reviews, release dates, flipbook guides, fan art, and the readers you follow - all here, not scattered across six different tabs.
