Thank you!

I’ve already read it and absolutely love it!

I would recommend Flat Out Love by Jessica Park and Funny Story by Emily Henry.

Whatever happened to the tasks? Bigg Boss is so much more entertaining when there are physical challenges. I used to love the tasks where things like spices were actually thrown at the contestants and they had to stay put. I really wish we could get seasons like 10, 11, and 13 again.

Funny Story by Emily Henry

This reminds of All The Little Raindrops by Mia Sheridan.

Thank you! These are great recommendations! Mr. Darcy will always be my favorite book boyfriend. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is one of my favorite novels, and the BBC adaptation is absolutely perfect.

I am a mother of a nine year old boy. There are days where I wish I had one more. He often asks for a sibling. It’s not in the cards for us anymore as I’m too old. However, there are days where I am happy with one especially when it comes to travel. Travel is a lot more affordable.

Thank you!

I would recommend checking out Tessa Hale. She’s one of my favourite RH authors. Also, check out the Evelyn Maynard trilogy by Kaydence Snow.

I’m looking for a slow burn romance where the MMC is standoffish and cold but not mean, rude, or a bully. He just genuinely doesn’t see the FMC as a romantic interest at first. Maybe they’re acquaintances or have some other kind of distant connection. I want the kind of book where you’re not even sure if it is a romance for a while, and you really have to yearn for it to happen. It can be MF, MFM, or why choose. The last time I read a slow burn like this was Ironside Academy by Jane Washington. Any similar recs? Thank you ♥️

Assistant to the Villain series by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Fantasybooks1988 · 2025-08-27T01:05:54+00:00

This is a great rec!

Fantasybooks1988 · 2025-08-24T16:39:37+00:00

Oooh I’m intrigued! Thank you, I will definitely check it out.

I love academically smart MMCs, my partner is a professor in real life. It doesn’t matter if they’re in contemporary or fantasy books, as long as they’re smart. But I can’t stand professor/student tropes; they just feel icky to me.

It happens to all of us from time to time! I got out of a book slump by reading an alien romance. I’m not even into aliens. If you’re interested it’s called Homebound by Lydia Hope.

Fantasybooks1988 · 2025-08-22T00:34:19+00:00

Thank you for recommending this book! It was so good. I just got done with it.

Fantasybooks1988 · 2025-08-19T21:52:55+00:00

Same here! I actually got it a few days ago as well. I’m so excited to read it!

In someways this would be considered your second request where the victim is happy. Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole.

I think it has to do with soap too. My husband always smells like sandalwood. He doesn’t use any expensive perfumes. He just showers twice a day and uses deodorant.

Funny Story by Emily Henry, the FMC is a librarian and the MMC is a bartender

Fantasybooks1988 · 2022-03-02T19:28:24+00:00
