Readers, I am on the verge of giving up on the romance genre. I need people to recommend books that I won't hate.

Please, I'm dying. I just wanna read cute stories about love without a bunch of regressive gender stereotypes or just straight-up abuse. Is that really so much to ask??? Anyway I'm gonna list things I love and hate about the genre and perhaps some of you kind people could make some suggestions based on that?

Romances I've liked: Emily Henry's Happy Place (I actually cried at this one!); Talia Hibbert's Get a Life, Chloe Brown; Evie Dunmore's A League of Extraordinary Women series; Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material; Casey MacQuiston's Red White and Royal Blue (although the politics in this one really turned me off the first time I read it); Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries series (a classic); Sangu Mandanna's The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (I love a romance that has a lovable cast of supporting characters and some other elements going on beyond the love story!); Jen Wang's The Prince & the Dressmaker

Stuff I hate in romance: Most enemies to lovers (cause the most recent wave of this trope is primarily men abusing women in some way, but if you've got a suggestion that isn't that, please tell me), when Being Tall is treated as a entire personality for men, generally men being So Large and women being So Smol cause it almost always leans into weird gender shit that makes me uncomfortable, super innocent virginal girls who are almost childlike being "corrupted" by mean fuckboys, the entire dark romance genre (are you seeing the trend about things I hate... lol), Instalove (Chanel Cleeton's Next Year in Havana was SO guilty of this)

Romances I disliked/DNF'd: Abby Jimenez's Part of Your World (the female lead was insufferable!); Jasmine Guillory's The Wedding Date (some of the character work was interesting but I just got bored with the story tbh); Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan's The Royal We (just SO boring but that's what I get for reading Will & Kate fanfiction); anything that started as R*ylo fic cause they, and Twilight before them, are basically the blueprint for what I find fundamentally un-romantic about a lot of romance (I might be willing to give something by Ali H*zlewood a try, as a few Booktubers I trust have said her writing has gotten better with each new book she's published BUT the word steminist is the most cringe thing I've ever heard so maybe not)

Romances that sound interesting but I've been burned so much I just don't know: Helen Hoang's the Kiss Quotient; Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare; Lyssa Kay Adams' The Bromance Book Club; Olivia Waite's The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics, India Holton's Dangerous Damsels series, Nisha Sharma's Dating Dr. Dil

Heeeelp.

hi! how are you? i wanted to know some things about yoni animal compatibility. i was wondering what nakshatras should i consider? i read only the moon nakshatra but i can't find a lot of info about that. i'm sorry if this is stupid lol, i was also curious about how accurate that method of compatibility calculation is, and i wanted to know if it is exclusive for sexual compatibility, because that's what i read too. again sorry if this is dumb or you don't feel like answering. thank you either way 🤍

i dont believe in yoni consorts being good for each other but thats a personal opinion (like 2 tiger yonis being good together or 2 rat yonis being besties or whatever)

it was largely intended for sexual compatibility tbh. in india when a hindu couple get married, their families get their birth charts read/compared to see if they're compatible. i am inclined to believe the origins of yoni animal compatibility is tied to the arranged marriage system. if you're marrying a stranger, you might as well know whatever you can about their sexual nature/behaviour before hand lol as there is no other way to find out.

my parents have snake yoni and mongoose yoni respectively and let me just say that it pretty accurately sums up their relationship lmfao

i think yoni animals are good for determining the overall nature/vibe of individuals. people who have larger yoni animals tend to be more assertive, dominating, they kind of have a strong✨presence✨if that makes sense, people with smaller yoni animals tend to be very prone to anxiety, self-doubt, or be introverted in general. i do think there are variables but from what ive seen someone with a small yoni animal almost always feels intimidated by/less than someone with a large one, like you feel uneasy around them?? even in friendships ive noticed that you tend to be friends with people who are in the same-ish category, like i had a friend who would bully me but she was super sweet to my other friend and they both had predator yoni animals so i feel like they had mutual respect bc they were in the same league but i was not lol, i think we subconsciously treat some people a certain way or like they're beneath us because we sense their yoni animal's inferiority with respect to ours but other people invoke awe or terror in us for seemingly no reason and i think it might be because we sense the superiority of their yoni animal with respect to ours

I was just on Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland and thought, “a pirate romance would be great right about now.” Any recs? Thank you!

I dooo--these aren't really true-blue Golden Age of Piracy PIRATE PIRATE recs because a lot of those are *quite* old and *quite* problematic even by my standards... And I mean, that era of piracy is kind of inherently rough because piracy like, directly intersected with the slave trade, among other things, etc.

If you're open to something more magical and whimsical, I would absolutely recommend India Holton's The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels and The League of Gentlewoman Witches. They're set in a Victorian world populated by thieves and witches and pirates who fly like, airships. They're SO funny and sexy and romantic, but they still hav stakes, too. I actually find the heroes of both books very piratey. One is like, a charmer sort of like, borderline himbo, and the other is one of the slickest heroes I've ever read. Both are great, Gentlewoman Witches edges out the first for me juuust a little because of how the sex in that one works. She's just like "I am very stressed" and he's like "I have a solution". At one point they're just jacking/fingering each other while steering the ship lmao.

Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt OF COURSE. Charming Mickey O'Connor (one of the greatest hero names of all time sorry) is a river pirate. He's very successful, very dangerous, and has an incredibly OTT accent that Elizabeth Hoyt sells because it's Elizabeth Hoyt and she can sell almost anything. His heroine is a Quaker widow who ends up trapped on his ship because he, GET THIS, left his bastard infant daughter on her orphanage doorstep, and a year later, after she's fallen in love with this baby, shows up like "SO YEAH WE'RE IN DANGER AND I CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE USING SHIT AGAINST ME SO I WANT THAT BABY BACK EVEN THO IDGAF ABOUT IT". And Silence is like well if you're taking the baby you're taking ME too. And so he does.

The Hawk by Monica McCarty has a medieval hero who's like, a lord and shit, but also very much a self-acknowledged pirate. He's always swimming naked and using his piratical ways to do spy shit for Robert the Bruce. His heroine is an uptight Irish noblewoman he literally fishes out of the sea. This is indeed the "they fuck on a raft in the middle of a storm because the storm makes her anxious" book.

How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne Long has a hero who's a privateer, which is BASICALLY THE SAME THING LBR. The action doesn't really take place on the ship, because he and the heroine end up in the same room at this boarding house during a once in a lifetime storm (it's like a bottle episode romance, it's really fascinating) but he's still got that pirate charm. She's a spinster and has kinda missed out on life. At one point they play this weird old-timey game to pass the time and it gets oddly sexual, which is such a Julie Anne Long thing.

Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale. Allegreto is, while also being an assassin and political mover and shaker, a pirate on the side. Part of the book does take place on a ship, I believe, and the interesting thing is that it also takes place, in part, in VENICE, so you get the whole canal life. Allegreto is legit crazy. TW: noncon for the first encounter, one of those forced consummation things because he needs the heroine to marry him as a part of his Evil Plot.

(Sidebar: I always find this scene so interesting, because it is very obviously noncon, but in a way that I think is period-accurate she sort of is like more mad about her virginity being gone? Because she needs that for marital and political reasons? And she also realizes that he SUPER got off on her biting him, and he's shaken because she really wasn't supposed to know that he was into that, and SHE begins to connect the dotes re: his sexual inclinations, in that he wants her to dominate him, which is a major weakness of his.)

Lord of Temptation by Lorraine Heath. The hero's brother basically sold him--he was willing--to piratey types when they were young teens because they were on the run from their evil uncle. So he grew up and became this well known captain/pirate. Now he's sort of integrated back into polite society, but he doesn't want it, so he goes out to sea and ends up escorting the heroine when she's on the way to see her fiancee. Cue sex on a boat. This one is really fun because it gives major ILLICIT AFFAIRS.

Any Duke in a Storm by Amalie Howard. Arguably the most traditional piratey one here. The heroine is actually a spy, but she has this pirate identity and is very cold and fierce. The hero (who naturally is both piratey and a duke) becomes her first mate (or something like that) and she actually thinks he's a part of the illegal operation she's trying to bust. HOWEVER, things get complicated because he's wildly attracted to her and trying to get into her pants. There is indeed a fight where she ends up on top of him and realizes he's massively hard and there are like 12 pirates watching.

Me, makes a post about how weird it is that there's "Hitler Ice Cream" in India and just the general weirdness of countries with very few Jews (now or ever) being super antisemitic.

some total weirdo goblin in the comments:

first off if you come in dismissing antisemitism Jews anywhere (or any when) in the world face by some weirdo statement about Israel, guess what you're making Zionists good job.

now to the insanity "higher elite Northern European Jews in Israel"... does this person think that there's a cabal of Swedish Jews that run Israel? what?

any ways this next is a common misconception, the US did not establish Israel. The US was largely not involved, and indeed until the 1970s had at best a lukewarm relationship with America.

The Zionist movement, a modern secular interpretation of Jewish religious longing for the land of Israel (its worth saying every generation or so there would be a mass movement of Jews to Eretz Yisrael in hope of the Messiah) started in the 1880s, these were largely Jews from Eastern Europe, the Russian empire, at the same time an unrelated wave of Yemenite Jews came to the land about 10% of Yemen's Jews came to Palestine between the 1880s and 1914.

Any ways by WWI many thousands of Jews had settled in the Ottoman Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. When the war broke out many were jailed as enemy aliens for having originated in Russia (though they were fleeing Russia and had no love at all for the Tsar) Both the Germans and the British hoped to court the Zionists as allies, but the Germans were tied by their alliance with the Ottomans. In 1917 the British foreign minster issued a letter, The Balfour Declaration, which declared:

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

When the First World War ended the Ottoman Empire was carved up between the British and French. Technically these new colonies were supposed to be "Mandates" from the new League of Nations and the new colonial masters were meant to be readying them for independence, but they were colonies by another name. The British enshrined the Balfour Declaration in the founding of The Mandate of Palestine at its founding in 1923.

Starting even before the Mandate, with the first Zionist Congress in 1897, but accelerating greatly after 1920, the Yishuv organized itself, forming a shadow government, and military, the Haganah.

In the aftermath of the 1930s Arab uprising, the 1939 British closing of Jewish immigration to Palestine, and the Holocaust the Yishuv became in open warfare with the British colonial administration, particularly since there were hundreds of thousands of holocaust survivors in "displaced persons camps" in many cases the same concentration camps the Germans had kept them in months earlier. The Zionists wanted these people to be allowed to come to Palestine, the British still said no.

Under international pressure, and effectively broke after the War in 1947 the British turned to the new UN and effective said they were leaving in 1948 and the UN could figure it out before then or not they did not care. So in November 1947 the UN voted for Resolution 181. Which would have split the land of mandate Palestine between Arabs and Jews with an area around Jerusalem as an international zone. Ten years earlier the British had also floated splitting the land with an international Jerusalem.

Any ways the 700,000 Jews of Palestine said "yes" under David Ben-Gurion, and on May 14th 1948 declared independence as "The State of Israel" the day the British Mandate ended and the last British Solider left. There was some debate around the name, and they almost picked "Palestine" as the official name of the state in Arabic, but last minute decided against it. The Arabs were much less united and organized however the Arab Higher Committee and the Arab League rejected 181 and nearly at once started the Palestine Civil War (November 1947-May 1948) The Yishuv's military the Haganah fought and won this civil war against the Arabs without outside help and indeed while being in conflict with the British who deeply resented them and were looking to better their relations with the Arabs. Indeed British officers lead the Jordanian military.

After Israel declared statehood it was invaded by all the Arab states around it, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon with a large force of Iraqis joining through Syria and Jordan and symbolic forces from countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

The US under Harry Truman was the first to recognize Israel, but other than that the US did very little for Israel during the war and indeed Truman's State Department kept trying to get him to take back recognition. The UN never tried to take control of Jerusalem in line with the 181 plan and as I mentioned British officers played a key role in Jordan's taking of the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the war.

All a long explanation to say Israel founded itself, it was not imposed by an outside army. The Arab states at the time, and in later years thought that a war with the Zionists would be easy, a matter of just marching was a phrase used. When in fact it was not easy they often would fall back on the idea that really they had not lost a war to the Zionist Jews but to America, the UN, the UK, who ever, losing to a Superpower is not humiliating after all. Likewise Leftist theory about colonial Israel and how a national liberation might happen needs Israel to be a colony, a colony has a mother country that both supports it but more important is a place where its population might go if the settler colonial state is wrapped up. So Israel is reduced to a "military outpost of the United States!" which takes an old Arab idea that there "is no Israeli state only an Israeli Army" Of course this is untrue, Israel is not a colony of the US or any one else, its citizens have no other home and would not willingly give up theirs.

feel however you want about all this, but know the history before making statements.

tagged by the incomparable @briarhips to post nine book recs <3 sorry so many of these are classics im going thru smth

Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen: This is MY Austen of choice. I'm doing a reread atm and it's very Emma in it's social commentary but this is THEE eldest daughter book of all time. Maybe I just like when characters are super repressed but if you want to see a woman (who has spent 200 pages being soooo hinged) have the most cathartic breakdown about it......

Identitti, Mithu Sanyal: For fans of Kuang's Yellowface who want a bit more of an academic lens! Our main character, a 2nd gen Indian-German woman, spends years of her life in the trenches of postcolonial study under a seemingly Indian woman who is then exposed as white. It doesn't give you any easy answers but it provides a lot of scholarly resources and leaves a lot of space to come to your own conclusions. Read it on a plane. Kinda fire.

Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson: We all know Carson. But I'm picking a nonfiction essay instead of Autobiography of Red or her translations mostly because this one takes you behind the curtain of a lot of her famous translations when it comes to the aspect of love. I'm not really nonfiction girl in general but this was worth it

Chain Gang All Stars, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah: Speculative abolitionist fiction! Set in a near future where prisoners can compete in death matches to try and win their freedom. I've honestly read nothing like this...ever, like it's in a league of it's own but if you're a fan of the way footnotes were used in something like Babel you're gonna wanna check this out. Multiple povs (really interesting pov switching from a craft perspective actually) overlap to paint a stark and realistic depiction of American prisons.

The Devourers, Indrapramit Das: This was described to me as "IWTV but with werewolves and in Mughal India and actually really good" and while that's a pretty comprehensive plot summary it does not even begin to cover the shit this novel goes through. This is a book about transformation and stories and what letting a story live in you can do for you. The werewolves are kinda obviously a genderqueer allegory as well (as they often are in sff lmao) but when the interviewer himself starts talking about gender in his experiences you can see how that changes the story he's transcribing and it's just very cool. Heavy trigger warnings on this one though. Don't read if you can't handle a bit of piss (they are wolves). Writing style wise feels very similar to the magical realism of The Hungry Tide if that's ur bag

The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot: In the way that s&s is my Austen, this is MY Eliot. A classic story about women of this era who cannot fit into the boxes society lays out for them. A failed romance brands the main character an outcast in their town in a way that is. Hear me out. Fucking Utenaesque. Follow for some classic tragedy and themes of water....I would compare this more with like Dickens Bleak House than Austen though.

Villette, Charlotte Bronte: Once again. MY Bronte. Maybe it's just cause I read this before Jane Eyre but literally I do not understand why Miss Eyre gets so much more love than my girl Lucy. In broad strokes the story is about an English girl who ends up having to support herself by moving to France and becoming an English teacher at a girls boarding school. She's also plagued by a terrifying apparition of a nun, because this is Charlotte we're talking about and there's a bit of Catholic v Protestant thing going on. I read this during the very early pandemic and let me tell you some of the descriptions of isolation and loneliness are soooooo. yeah.

Monstrous Regiment, Terry Pratchett: Listen. Like, listen. It's that good. I wouldn't put a discworld novel up against fucking chain gang all stars unless it was THAT good. This is a classic 'girl dresses up as a boy and goes to war to find her brother' story. It definitely started as a commentary on folk songs/stories but it is at it's heart a novel long criticism of imperialism, nationalism, and organized religion (there's jokes though it's funny). Also not to be that guy when it comes to LGBTQ book recs but the thing came out in 2002 and it's surprisingly thoughtful when it comes to both gender and sexuality. You do not have to be a fantasy fan or a discworld fan to read this. If you gave Pratchett a try and didn't like it i STILL insist you give MR a shot. It is in a league of it's own.

Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell: Do not be scared off by the sheer length of this one. It's fucking silly. This is one of my faaaaaaaave 1800s novels about class. We have juxtaposition between Molly's family (her father is a gentleman but a working doctor) and the landed gentry but also this divide between the uneducated Squire and his Cambridge bound sons and another one with the 'new money' gentry. There's also quite a lot of early science and anthropology documented in this (Gaskell and Darwin were besties) if that's interesting to you. WARNING: SHE DIED BEFORE SHE FINISHED THIS. ITS LIKE 99% DONE THOUGH

This was a hard list to narrow down but I have to include (at least as honorable mentions): Ling Ma's Severance/Bliss Orange, Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem and the SFF POC anthology New Suns
