Tony Since I’ve mainly started reading this year I’ve got a couple queer Christmas romances I’ll be reading this December.


message 2: by Elle_bow (new)

Elle_bow  🩷 Not at this stage. I can really only read horror books, they’re really the only books I’m interested in reading, Hopefully down the line I’ll want to read other stuff.


message 3: by Suz (new)

Suz It just adds extra pressure (for me). But if I stumble across some I will!


Romancelover910 Sometimes yes and sometimes no, if I stumble on to a really good one or I am ARC reviewing one then yes but I just have so many books in general to get through and it would add so much extra pressure for the month


message 5: by Anna (new)

Anna Cheney Honestly, I don't read Christmas-themed books. But basically, because none had captured my attention. It's not only books but also movies; nothing personal, haha. In addition, most of the time I don't have time enough to read on Christmas, so I just continue with my TBR or the book I'm reading at the moment.

Ronisha ♡ I feel like the vibes in December and Christmas just makes it extra special


Sparkle (Roronoa Zoro’s girl) {in the longest slump🥴} 💜Tortured Reader🤍 It’s a ritual for me. I intentionally avoid Christmas books until December or buy them and keep them till December. Makes me all happy and excited. Counting down already 🥰 Reading Christmas books in December hits differently 💜✨


message 8: by benita (new)

benita Yeah, I do, hopefully I get to read one or two this year, but idk yet since I have a couple of books I want to finish by the end of this year <3


message 9: by S.A (new)

S.A  Reidman I recently reconnected with my reading heart so I'm doing a few Christmas themed books on my romace and cozy mysteries profile not my main one.


message 10: by Mandy (new)

Mandy Partridge My friend David Knijnenberg wrote 'An Australian Christmas Murder' and it's funny as. It's hilarious and hard to work out whodunnit. I reviewed it on my page. Adult and queer friendly.


message 11: by Melissa (new)

Melissa There is absolutely no intentionality other than mood, and what I already have on my shelf. It sounds like a fun idea, but then I'm halfway through binging a book series and don't want to break the pace.

It's why I can't ever vote for The Goodreads Choice Awards. If I bought even half of the nominees to feel justified in voting, I still might not read them for another year.


message 12: by Veronica (new)

Veronica Scully Not a fan of Christmas themed books and so not a fan of Halloween themed books or reading spooky books in October. I'm a mood reader and following a theme feels like forcing a mood.


message 13: by Njeri (new)

Njeri I enjoy reading themed books depending on the time of the year, so I do make the effort, but only as much as I want to and still read other "off-theme" books as well.


message 14: by Sammar (new)

Sammar Fawaz I haven’t read any but would like to. They seem cute🥰


message 15: by Sharon (new)

Sharon I don't celebrate Christmas. :)


message 16: by Kikky (new)

Kikky I haven’t. But i think that’s mostly because i dont know any good Christmas books. Otherwise i definitely would’ve.


message 17: by Nina (new)

Nina I am very much a mood reader… I can’t plan to read anything. I read whatever sounds good at that particular moment. And only what sounds good at that moment. Lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nothing else holds my interest long enough.


message 18: by Karsyn (new)

Karsyn for the most part yes. I'm still a mood reader, but when the festive mood hits, I binge the audiobooks as much as I can until my mood shifts. I think I only read 2 or 3 halloween centered books last month, and so far I've only read 1 christmas centered book (with plans to read several more until I'm sick of it), but I took a pause after the one because I found two books that feature thanksgiving so I gotta hit those quick before that day has come and gone lol. But, I've also got a few christmas centered books that I re-read every year now so I definitely do try to read books with the theme to be festive for the scene.

Meghan Quinn has a lot of fun (and spicy) romcoms on KU! I def recommend her hockey series (my fave is Right Man, Right Time).

How spicy is it do you know of any that are slow burn enmimes to lovers but a romcom


message 22: by Karsyn (last edited Nov 22, 2023 02:05PM) (new)

Karsyn Meghan Quinn’s books are pretty heavy with sex scenes. It’s not dark romance level 5 spice, but I’d say just right below that. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any that are rom-com on KU, but if I do I’ll make sure to drop the link!


message 23: by Olivia (new)

Olivia May Ok or do you know of any good like sad books on ku i read a thousand boy kisses and undernieth the sycamore tree and want some more books like it


message 24: by Karsyn (new)

Karsyn Sad books I am a little more familiar with, not much. One that got me was Deadly Illusion. I was so upset with how that one ended. 😭


message 25: by Olivia (new)

Olivia May I might have to look into it thank you


message 26: by Essey (new)

Essey Of Da Books I'm not huge into watching Christmas themed shows or reading Christmas-themed books. It's just something that has never really interested me. In fact, I really don't like any holiday-themed books or shows. I'm just weird like that.


message 27: by Miss Rose (new)

Miss Rose I like Christmas theme books although I didn't celebrate the holiday. Maybe some cozy rom-com or even mysteries based on.
