I think I’ve officially reached the point where I need Reddit to intervene because my TBR is somehow never enough. 😂

I’m looking for MM romance recommendations, and I’m especially interested in books with strong chemistry, obsession, tension, morally questionable men, enemies-to-lovers, possessiveness, angst, or anything that makes you stare at the page like “WHAT am I reading?!” 👀

For reference, these are some MM books I’ve already read:

• God of Fury

• Kiss the Villain

• Hunt the Villain

• For the Fans

• Iced Out

• Chokehold

• Dirty Love

• Beautiful Obsession

So please don’t just give me the usual beginner recommendations. 😭 I want the books that made you lose sleep, become emotionally attached, question your life choices, or immediately need another book afterward.

Dark romance? Give it to me.

Enemies-to-lovers? Absolutely.

Unhinged obsession? 👀 I’m listening.

Sweet and fluffy? I’ll take those too.

What MM romance has completely consumed you? I need to know. 🫠📖

​

I’ve recently decided to venture into BL series, but here’s the thing… I’m not actually new to BL. 😂 I’ve been reading BL manhwas for a while, I just haven’t really watched many BL series.

So I need the BL veterans of Reddit to guide me. 😭

What series should I start with? I’m honestly open to anything: cute and fluffy, funny, dramatic, slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, toxic, wholesome, fantasy… whatever you think is worth watching.

I’d especially love recommendations that made you completely understand the BL hype after watching them. 👀

Basically, I’m coming from the manhwa side of the BL universe and I’m ready to cross over. 😂 What should be my first stop?

Random question... are there any Zimbabweans here secretly reading the books everyone pretends they don't? 👀📚

I need to know if I'm suffering alone. 😂

I'm talking about the books with morally grey men, obsessive love interests, mafia families, dangerous kingdoms, dragons, fae, shadow daddies, political intrigue, and enough emotional trauma to leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m.

My shelves are currently ruled by:

🖤 Rina Kent

🖤 H.D. Carlton

🖤 Danielle Lori

🖤 Cora Reilly

🖤 Neva Altaj

🖤 Sophie Lark

🖤 Shantel Tessier

Fantasy romance has me in a chokehold too:

🧚 A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR)

🐉 Fourth Wing & Iron Flame

✨ Quicksilver

🩸 The Serpent and the Wings of Night

🗡️ From Blood and Ash

👑 Throne of Glass

🌙 Crescent City

And don't even get me started on ranch/cowboy romance...

🤠 Elsie Silver's Chestnut Springs

🤠 Lyla Sage's Rebel Blue Ranch

Please tell me I'm not the only Zimbabwean whose personality is 50% romance books and 50% saying, "Just one more chapter," before accidentally reading until sunrise. 😂

If you're out there, let's be friends.

Does anyone else get upset when their friends make other friends?

I know this probably sounds selfish, and I don't like that I feel this way, but I'm trying to understand it.

Whenever someone becomes my friend and then starts getting close to other people, I end up feeling like I fade into the background. They laugh with their new friends, make plans without me, and I'm just... there. Eventually it feels like I'm watching from the sidelines while they build a life that doesn't really include me anymore.

I think that's why I've caught myself wishing I could have a friend who was "just my friend." Not because I want to control anyone or stop them from having other friendships, but because I'm tired of always feeling replaceable.

It makes me wonder if I'm just possessive, or if this comes from being afraid of being left behind. I don't want to feel jealous. I want to be genuinely happy when my friends meet new people. Instead, I feel anxious that I'll become the backup friend or the forgotten one.

Has anyone else felt like this? If you have, where do you think it comes from, and did you ever get past it?

Hie guys. So lrecently got into reading MM romance and it's been suprisingly interesting and l wanted some smutty high-school or college MM recs if you have them. One if them can be in college l don't mind. Bonus if it's a professor-student trope.

Ok thanks in advance ☺️
