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 I have a series to rec! The lays of the hearth fire series by Victoria Goddard. A bureaucrat can't imagine retiring and leaving the man under the role of "emperor of the world" alone in that position. The man who is the emperor gets to become himself as a person again. They love each other very much. The bureaucrat, Cliopher, is asexual. Together they define what their relationship will include and mean to them.

I have a very casually written thread recommending it here: https://blorbo.social/@apprendere/115878229352212671

@apprendere Ohh I've had the first book on my TBR list for AGES, so I better bump it up on my queue!
