Book Recs  
So over at [community profile] fandomtrees, I made a book rec comment for someone, but I don't think I have one here (unless you read my profile),  so I figured I should post it here. I'll probably add to it if I remember any other favorites. They are not ordered in any particular order.

I usually do Romance just FYI, so if you're looking for something "new" (but probably old), check out below!

Queer Love Stories:

  1. 10 Things That Never Happened (Material World, #1) by Alexis Hall
  2. Garnet Run series by Roan Parrish
  3. London Calling Series by Alexis Hall (Boyfriend Material, Husband Material)
  4. Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins (technically book 2, but I think you can read it by itself, I think I read this one first and then book 1)
  5. Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
  6. Going Bicoastal by Dahlia Adler
  7. Mortal Follies (The Mortal Follies, #1) by Alexis Hall

Non-Queer Love Stories:

  1. Dark-Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon (each book could be read on its own, but if you want something that has a lot of tie-ins, this would be a series for you because the characters all mostly appear throughout the series, some more than others - I especially love Night Play)
  2. The Kiss Quotient trilogy by Helen Hoang
  3. Spoiler Alert Series by Olivia Dade
  4. Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn (plus the prequels! and her other series honestly)
  5. Castles Ever After by Tessa Dare (also enjoyed the Girl Meets Duke and Spindle Cove series although I'm still making my way through them)
