This Rec League comes from Sarahjane: Was listening to (and loving, as usual) the latest podcast and have a bit of a Rec League request. I’d love to find more books that have a plot of “We main characters find ourselves on the fringes of spooky/mysterious/magical/alien shenanigans and must solve the mystery (or defeat the aliens or banish the ghosts, etc.) One of my big favorites is KJ Charles’ Magpie Lord series. I especially love … Continue reading The Rec League: Mysterious, Spooky-Adjacent Romances→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For those who had a long weekend, was it relaxing? One of my best friends was back in town from Los Angeles and I had such a good time seeing her. I also started listening to audiobooks while I game. Shoutout to Agatha of the She Wore Black podcast for inspiring me to give this a try. I tore through a 10hr book in a little under two days. Now … Continue reading Links: Art, Pet Adoptions, & More→

This Rec League is from Clare. Thanks, Clare! So I’m reading another shifter fated mates book and the heroine is all up in arms again that fate is dictating to her. Are there any books with dated mates where a protagonist is just like, oh thank goodness I don’t have to think or wonder or stress, this is just my person and now I don’t have to date anymore? Like, as a person with anxiety, … Continue reading The Rec League: Happy to Be Fated & Mated→

Hear ye! Hear ye! I welcome you all back to Wednesday Links! How has your week been? Mine is incredibly busy and I’m just trying to keep my eyes on Friday. All of hard work will be rewarded with a weekend trip to Maine, which may not be relaxing as I want it to be, but it’ll still be a much-needed break. As I mentioned last week, I was eager for a couple MMORPGs coming … Continue reading Links: Blue Aliens, Crafting, & More→
This Rec League request comes from Claire. Thanks, Claire! I’m looking for a GOOD magical academy/other paranormal school romance. Preferably, but not necessarily, poly. I enjoyed the Cimmerian Cage by Cate Corvin but I felt like it was kind of rushed and I wanted a little more Sarah J. Maas-style SUFFERING before she began to find her power. Also, Corvin set up a *delicious* dynamic with the professor of Discipline but then they only had … Continue reading The Rec League: Sexy, Magical Institutions→

Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Can you tell I’m ready for cooler temperatures and the lead up to Halloween? This edition includes horror and a picture book with a charming ghost. There’s also some non-fiction about the Gilded Age Bone Wars (also a title for a fictional erotic historical romance series, anyone?) and a historical mystery. Get any good book recommendations lately? Have any you want to pass along? Let us know in the comments!
This Rec League comes from Will. Thanks, Will! I’m looking for a recommendation of a queer romance novel (ideally f/f or m/m or trans) with great side characters. I’d love a book with the feeling that the side characters have their own lives and their own stories. Bonus points if they don’t ship the main couple, get bored when the main character talks about their love life or are so occupied with their own problems … Continue reading The Rec League: Queer Communities→
This Rec League comes from Nicole. Thanks, Nicole! I’ve been eyeing shifter romances after not reading them for a while, and I’m not quite sure where to begin! I’ve read the Kate Daniels series and both series by Patricia Briggs, and am looking for some non-wolf shifter romances that SBTB enjoyed? Sarah: Dragon shifters? DRAGON SHIFTERS. If you want bloody, violent, burn it all down stories with dragon shifters, Dragon Actually by GA Aiken (aka … Continue reading The Rec League: Non-Wolf Shifters→
This timely request comes from Tara: A few years ago I gave my father Angels’ Blood by Nalini Singh as a retirement gift, not mentioning that it’s considered a romance. He loved it and has read all of the Guild Hunter and Psy/Changeling series. I’ve also introduced him to Sarah J Maas, Thea Harrison, and he’s currently hooked on Shelly Laurenston. I’m looking to introduce him to another romance author this Father’s Day, any suggestions? … Continue reading The Rec League: A Father’s Day Request→
