Novels I Think Are Great!
When will I finally learn how to write a book review?
Reading Notes
A moderately gender-dysphoric, non-control freak’s everyday life: a female lead wielding insecticide, moms who love submissive bottoms, and slow internet. I’m focused on curating my daily reading for old age.
Romance Reading List
BG, BG, BG!! BG only! Modern and historical romances. I recommend anything I rated four stars or higher.
Reborn Diaries ①
A collection of reborn romance novels I’ve read.
Finished Reads and Reviews ^_^
I like BG, happy endings, chaste male leads, and completed stories. I prefer 1v1; if a story doesn't fit, I'll say so. For five-star books, see my other list: all five stars.

Notes on stories I couldn’t keep reading
My 2026 Top Historical Romance Picks
My top historical romance novels of 2026: a cool, powerful minister who dotes on only one person; a young heir who has been plotting his devotion for ages; and couples who fall in love after marrying first.
I Read Every Single One of These!
Interstellar, historical, farming, xianxia, mecha, infinite worlds. Every one is carefully chosen.
44: Twenty Years of Reading, Gone in the Blink of an Eye
Mostly historical romance, with the occasional modern-day one.
Frequently Revisited BG Historical Romance Collection
Historical romance with household intrigue, plenty of romance, a touch of political scheming, and a few wuxia and xianxia stories.
Delicious
Mostly historical romance, with a few other themes I like mixed in.
My Favorite Fully Read Historical Romance Novels
Rebirth, transmigration, System, mind reading, marriage first and love later, domineering pursuit, faux uncle-and-niece/siblings, film and TV original works, one-on-many, body swaps, xianxia, fantasy, and the supernatural.
Absolute Gems
Personal preferences
Favorite BG Stories That Perfectly Match My Preferences
Love these (I only read couples who are each other's one and only).
A Messy List of Re-Reads
A casually put-together list of books to reread. Lately it’s getting harder and harder for me to finish a book. BG, BL, and no-CP stories; lots of plot-driven books, with some sweet romance too.
Peach Blossom Spring (A Bit of Everything)
A place that lets me catch my breath while I'm doing my best to get through life.
Fresh Every Time
Most of these are books I've read twice or three times. Some are best enjoyed with your brain switched off, while others require your full attention. In short, this is a grab-bag of a reading list.
Read One, Review One: Reading List 2026
I read all sorts of things. Listed in chronological order, with detailed content warnings. Follow the list to read along. You’ll get a notification whenever I add a new book.
A Bit of Everything: Modern, Historical, Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance
Mostly relationship-focused. I love stories where the characters connect on a soul-deep level, but not cookie-cutter characters falling in love. I care about the writing and plot. I don’t have many personal dealbreakers, but I’ll flag potential issues for every book. Updated slowly.
Great Historical Romance
Romance / bittersweet angst / push and pull / groveling exes / sweet stories / chemistry / possessive love / good writing / sexually inexperienced male leads

Historical Novels I Love Reading
BG, happy ending.
Historical Romance
These are reading logs, not recommendations. I prefer loyal, gentle types or male leads with a youthful vibe. I love strong female and male characters. I'm fine with the male lead suffering, but not with the female lead being mistreated in any way. I only read happy endings.
