WELCOME TO MY “PICK YOUR GENRE” LIST!!
What are you in the mood to read? In the mood for something particular? If you’re looking for something specific, scroll down the list, and click away!
To make “searching” for something to read easier, I’ve compiled a list of all my blog posts “tagged” with whatever particular genre, or “feel” we’re in the mood for. :D!!!

Maryse
This is super fantastic! Thank you so much. Love it. I’m sure will spend lots of time just browsing and finding out that I probably already own many of the books that look good. Really appreciate this. Thanks
Absolutely my pleasure you guys. It helps me find more books too!! When I’m in the mood for something, it’s nice to have a list ready to pull from.
And one for demons! 😀
Demons!! YES!!
Hi! Love, love, LoVE this list!!!! How about second chance HEA? And More Mature (aka Older! Lol) HEAs?
Your blog is the greatest! I have found so many great reads, new authors, new series from you.
Trina YES!!! SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE!! That is an obvious must have on this list. Thank you for reminding me!!
I’m book marking this post! I think you’ve got all my favs covered. The only thing I wouldn’t mind being added is around location. Like stories that take place in Italy, NYC or London. I’m heading to NYC this weekend and would love a story where they go to a lot of the city’s hot spots.
Great idea JR!!! I’m adding those to my “to do list”
I also miss the summer beach reads post and can’t wait for the end of year fav posts.
What a smashing idea! This will be great for rediscovering amazing reads I’ve forgotten about. Thanks, and keep up the brilliant work.
Have you considered a Bully list?
I love the “knew each other as kids and meet again as adults”, like Danika Dark’s Seven Years. I think it’s Danika…..
Hi, i would love it if there are some Hallmark christmas books. I just finished Lauren Layne an ex for christmas. It was great!!! And
I couldend stop reading. 🙂 🙂
P.s I love your list, if I don’t know what i’m in the mood for, i check out your list 🙂

(and I also linked it up a Christmas book recommendations list from a year or so ago)
How about books where they fall via text, email or letters like Dear Aaron or Let’s Get Textual
People always overlook inter racial romance! Can we please have a bit more representation up in here 🙁
Hi LestaGirl!
Great idea. I’m on it. 🙂 I’ll make us a list!! Do you have any favorites you’d like to recommend? I have a few of my own already that I’m going to add in.
Men who are artists!!!
