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 haha.
Romantasy: if you're not a coming of age story, you're old

@Artemis201 I've been reading coming of age stories for the past, eh, 25 years... time for something else (especially considering I'm old enough to be the MOTHER of those coming-of-age MCs...)

@shipperslist have you read The Adventures of Amina al Sirafi?
It's fantastic! The protagonist is an older muslim woman who retired from a life of piracy when she became a mom. Of course that kind of career has a way of not being done with you, even when you're done with it.
It's fantasy action adventure, not romantasy, but boy does the MC have a history with men.

@Artemis201 it's on my list, yes!
