Running behind on annual book gifting tradition to my wife.

Every wedding anniversary, I gift my wife 10 books to read before we close out the year. I usually spend a ton of time researching the book before I add it to my list. But this year I have fallen very far behind. As a nonreader, here is what I have come up with:

1. Belinda Blinked by Rocky Flintstone

2. The Reluctant Dom by Lesli Richardson

3. The Lady and the Orc by Finley Fenn

4. The Books of Babel series by Josiah Bancroft

5. Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

6. A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn A. Moon

7. The Two Week Roommate by Roxie Noir

8. The Adventures of Almina al-Sirafi by S. A. Chakraborty

9. Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

I realize a good chunk of these are not romance, but I usually try to get a healthy mix even though romance is her favorite.

I need to add one more book, but am struggling with time and selection. Please tear down any of my choices above if you think I should put to a DNR list.

I always include an obscene book for her to read which she enjoys what I come up with. The Lady and The Orc was that choice for this year.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
