Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly:

A physics textbook thinly disguised as a fantasy or maybe scienceficion novel, in Dutch.

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly:

A horny cinnamon-roll disaster twink falls in love with a brooding monster man as they try figure out why all of monsterkind are so interested in such a loser of a human.

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly:

A woman tries to flee from her traumatised past only to get traumatised more and ends up working for some asshole lord who enjoys drinking her blood, but hey, at least she gets an awesome girlfriend out of it all, and maybe a boyfriend too...
