Do I have any Dark Romance reading mutuals on here? If so, would you be so kind to recommend any current releases you enjoyed?

"Sie meinen, dieses Gerät kann schneller sein, als Licht?"
- "Nein, es kann kleiner sein als Licht."
"Das verstehe ich nicht."
- "Ich, ehrlich gesagt, auch noch nicht so ganz."


Akademikerleben in a nutshell 😂

This book gave me a "close the book, put it down, stare into the void to grasp what just happened" moment and I haven't had one of these in soooo long.

(Page not specified due to spoiler avoidance of said moment)

Funnily enough, so far i've gotten through nights but not this book.

I just know, that I liked the book last time and i didn't particularly liked the ending. Is it fair to just leave it at this? haha

I’m in dire need of some romance recommendations – hard “no”s are pregnancy, infidelity and I can do without miscommunication, but that would be okay. Otherwise, hit me with the cutesy, spicy or properly dark stuff – I don’t mind!
Please help a girl out, I’m a bit lost in the newer releases.

This is still a good book, I just keep getting sidetracked.

Really random thought; currently working on a thesis about recommender systems and one of the datasets I work with is an old extraction from goodreads. In case you might wonder, there once was a user (about 15 years ago) who had 35.000 interactions (aka ratings) with books solely of the romance genre.

Go buy that book, you've still got a lot to read, love. :)

I read this once, but now it's my nightly routine to listen to this.

Turns out it doesn't get better, but more cringey.

Someone please be honest with me - does this get better? So far I've been laughing a lot but not the "haha, this book is funny" kind of way ...

If you've never sent your best friend a video of you bawling your eyes out because of a book they recommended, you need to find better friends to get better recommendations.

Here's to all those who recommend books by saying "this is going to hurt you, you're gonna love it!" - you're the best.

Woah. I did not expect this book to blow me away the way it did.
Also, I did not expect to bawl my eyes out this afternoon, yet ... here we are,

If you see me updating my progress on this one, no you don't.

Ignoring. A. Fucking. Safeword.

Roles reversed, we'd be out here with pitchforks and torches, calling for someone to be cancelled... but it's the dude, so it's fine, right? No.

Currently strongly considering to ditch the whole book. Wtf.

Over 60% in and I still feel as clueless as in the first 6%. Somehow this is the first LG book that feels all over the place, has almost no chemistry so far and a distinct feeling of "huh??" to it.

Lovely people of goodreads, what books should I not be missing out on? Current or otherwise. I'm lost in my tbr and nothing feels *right*.

When in doubt, read Elsie Silver.

Honestly wish I could hear the respectful way these TT-racers talk about each other forever.

The chapter about Joey Dunlop broke my heart, the way John McGuinness talks about him... damn.

Have you ever cried so hard reading a book that your nose started bleeding?
No?
Well, read this, then.

Don't mind my yearly time of obsession with TT legends.

The way I'm gonna miss these characters so mich after this ...

Also, I wanna shake each and every one of you who dnf'ed one of these books. It's so worth it to invest the time.

I'll ignore this is book 5 and just have a grand ole time because I looooove the characters. They're each a mood.

Sometimes you crave comfort, sometimes you crave romance and sometimes, you crave the destruction of all mental stability at the hands of your favourite unstable fictional characters.

Let's go. Destroy me.

Every once in a while (haven't done it in ages), I go through my tbr and re-evaluate if I still want to read all of those books or if interests, priorities or other factors have changed.
This time I found so many books I have read AND reviewed without the proper tag "read", without the rating and without the review. What the hell? I have never not updated my goodreads since I joined, I really don't get it.
