This request is from HeatherS: It’s been a while since I’ve seen this topic covered and a lot of books have been published in the meanwhile, so: I’d like a rec league post for romances with at least one bisexual MC, preferably not in a college/university setting (because I’m over 40 and college students are mostly babies at this point). Required: if a bi awakening romance, the MC’s bi awakening does NOT involve cheating (especially … Continue reading The Rec League: Bisexual Romance
Welcome back! Shockingly, only one non-fiction title and three–THREE–romances! I can hardly believe it. Do you have any book recommendations to pass along? Let us know in the comments!
Welcome back! Sometimes Get Rec’d sneaks up on me. The books this week are split between fiction and non-fiction. Two of each! What recommendations would you like to pass along? Let us know in the comments!
Hello and welcome back! In this edition, we have two very different mystery options. There’s also some cozy fantasy and non-fiction. Have any book recommendations you’d like to pass along? Drop them in the comments!
This Rec League request is brought to you, selfishly, by me! I want mafia romances but in a fantasy or sci-fi setting. GET ME OFF THIS PLANET. Elyse: Oh. Now I want that too. Shana: Taken to Kor by Elizabeth Stephens has space pirates. I’m not sure if that counts. It’s a dark romance. I’m not sure how well it would work as a standalone. Susan: Hana Maruko’s Love Gamble With the Mafia is sort-of … Continue reading The Rec League: Fantasy and Sci-Fi Mafia Romances
Welcome back! Surprisingly, there’s only one non-fiction title in today’s bunch. There’s also some horror, a retelling, and a new release that harkens back to some animated movie nostalgia. Want to share any good recommendations? Let us know in the comments!
Welcome back! Most of today’s edition comes with new releases! I think these are all 2026 release, if memory serves from when I put them in the SBTB repo. There are two romances and two non-fiction titles. Want to pass along any recommendations? Leave them in the comments!
This Rec League is from PamG, who is looking for some competence porn in academic settings: I don’t know if this is appropriate for a Rec League, but I have a rather persnickety request. I really like books set in academia, but I have problems with student/professor match-ups. The issue isn’t necessarily the relationship if it’s consensual and the author addresses the power (or age) imbalance between student and teacher in a serious way. However, … Continue reading The Rec League: Academic Romances for Grown Ups
Welcome back! This round of recs came from the bookish people and communities in my life. I love finding new books through friends and colleagues, and it really solidifies the importance of readers to connect with other readers. Do you have any recommendations you’d like to share? Drop them in the comments?
Welcome back! I’m so glad you all enjoyed the last edition, that was full of recommendations from KJ Charles. I wonder if we could do special editions like that from time to time, where we ask an author to recommend four books. What do you all think? As always, share with us some recommendations!
