Dear #bookstodon,

I would like to read adult queer romance. And by ”adult” I don’t mean smut but actual ADULT characters, preferably closer to 50 than 30, and to my danmei peeps: no, immortal cultivation masters don’t count.

(This stems from several reels where people rec romantasy/romance books with ”older FML” and the FMC is like 27. *sigh*)

So. Rec me your favorites!

Boosts appreciated.

@shipperslist Celia Lake has several books that might work. The Albion series as a whole is a mix of all ages, but trending older, and a reasonable mix of straight/queer, abled/disabled, etc.
Claiming the tower, slightly younger f/f (37 and 43yo I think), great as a standalone.
Best Foot Forward (m/m) is also great, a bit older (the only drawback is that that's two established characters and you might get more out of it already knowing them, but it can absolutely be read as a standalone).
@silhelm thank you! I put them on my list.
