I'm working on book rec lists for monster romances and monster friendships and I'm thinking wistfully that man, why can’t someone write, like, digimon or pokemon but for adults. Everyone gets a monster buddy who fights other monsters for you and you're best friends forever, also there's fun and weird worldbuilding. I want that please.

#i do prefer monster/creature friendship books over monster romance but those are hard to find because no ones writing rec lists for them #(here to amend that!)#so i generally end up reading my fair share of romances too #which is tricky bc while i enjoy a romance subplot i don't care for the romance genre and i really don't care for smut #(nothing wrong with it just Not My Thing)#i want monster romance the way shape of water is a monster romance #or better yet no romance at all just weird codependent relationships that can’t be put in a box #there's a reason why I'm abnormal about films like venom and alien vs predator and the most recent planet of the apes installment #also while I'm complaining WHY are there next to no monster romances where the woman is the monster???#i mean i know why but still. give me more monster ladies #nella talks books
