About BookShook
The KU romance recs for people who’ve swiped past 99 duds this week alone.
Curated by your favorite gremlin.
Tired of endless scrolls and copy-paste love interests?
Yeah, me too.
BookShook is a newsletter for romance readers who are allergic to hype, immune to algorithmic sameness, and just want a book that hits. I dig through the Kindle Unlimited wasteland so you don’t have to — pulling the actual hidden gems that deserve your tears, your squeals, and your emotionally-compromised 2 a.m. texts to your best friend.
What You’ll Get:
✅ Underrated KU romance recs that somehow have 200 reviews and no business being that good
✅ Zero filler. No trending fluff. No “eh, it was fine.”
✅ One gremlin’s unfiltered take on what slaps, what simmers, and what absolutely wrecked me in the best way
What You Won’t Get:
🚫 “This went viral on BookTok, so I guess I’ll try it?” picks
🚫 Bland billionaires
🚫 Generic small towns full of copy-paste angst
Why It Exists
KU is a firehose. Thousands of romances drop every year.
Most of the good ones? They drown.
Most people don’t have the time (or emotional resilience) to sort through the noise.
I do.
And I like it. A little too much.
So if you want romance that’s raw, readable, and actually worth your time?
Welcome to the horde.
Grab a blanket, charge your Kindle, and let’s get emotionally wrecked together.
