Booktalk In PJs discussion

Welcome to the Voting for our June book.

I decided to use the topic we pick for December 2021.

So this month's theme is:
Romance / New Adult

Please consider suggesting only books without a Fantasy part (like Evelyn Hugo or Love Hypothesis). Also, it's not important if the main love story is queer or straight. Just suggest books in the Romance Genre that you want to read this summer.
You can write your books on this topic until the 10th of May.

Disqualified books because of specific reasons:

First of all, I would like to state my opinion of Colleen Hoover and why I decided to disqualify her books. This is only my opinion and you can still like her if you want but I don't feel comfortable reading her books in this book club. I think that her books are kinda glorifying abusive and toxic relationships and also I don't like it that she actively decides to not include trigger warnings in her books, even tho multiple people begged for them. There are some other points why I choose to disqualify her books but these are the main reasons and I hope you can understand that.


Ugly Love
disqualified: see above

Under One Roof
disqualified: sadly too short and currently only available as an Ebook and Audiobook

It Ends with Us
disqualified: see above

Afterlove
disqualified: supernatural stuff (but still a great suggestion. Maybe this will fit another theme)

History Is All You Left Me
disqualified: I have the feeling that this is more a novel about grief than romance.

One Last Stop
disqualified: supernatural stuff like time loops

Eleanor & Park
disqualified: huge debate about the fetishization of East Asian and the Racism in the book (just google the title and problematic and you will find some articles)

November 9
disqualified: see above

Layla
disqualified: see above

All Boys Aren't Blue
disqualified: this is more a memoir than a romance book but still thank you for the rec.

Date Me, Bryson Keller
disqualified: plagiarism

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
disqualified: I think its more a coming off age story than a romance

Disqualified because they are currently not available through Thalia and Amazon, or there isn't the option for an ebook (both in mobi and epub) and a print copy

The Princess Trap
disqualified because: not available as an epub Ebook

Loveless
disqualified: currently not available as a print version through retailers because of the high demand

From Lukov with Love
disqualified: not available on Thalia and as an epub
