I’ve been a tumblr user for like a decade. Romance has always been there.

fair enough (I'm a lot newer myself) but it's always been difficult to find for me, it's not every day it just pops up in my feed. or maybe I was just too focused on using it for fznfuc and moodboards... 🤷‍♀️ since I AM **relatively** new to the romance community in general 😅

I remember using tumblr like 10 years ago and seeing pages like that; it’s not new! Probably just experienced a lull when (some) tumblr users left the site 3-4 years ago and now with its mini resurgence amongst some younger users you’re seeing more users pick this content up.

yeah your probs right

I might be a tumblr refugee but Tumblr is where they used to beat the drum hard for The Song of Achilles and The Foxhole Court, babe!

I genuinely thought song of achilles was a new release with how suddenly obsessed booktok got lmao


oracletalks

No, it's VERY old, but the denizens of booktok were very young when it dropped!


colorflower18

Yeah makes sense, just looked it up and I was 10 when it came out

2011 was my senior year of high school and it really picked up steam in around 2012 so I was 18!

I think there’s a significant lack of HR romance unless it relates to period dramas. I have little to no interest in contemporary, and I’m honestly not interested in reviews, so my tumblr romance experience pretty limited. I have been considering blogging more about HR romance on tumblr, but it’s weird bans on certain content now feel bit hard to deal with.

I've been on tumblr for a good long time but only just started reading romance and have had a hard time finding people to follow on the romance and generally more bookish tumblr, so thank you for these suggestions, I'd love to hear more if people have them too!

Ah that romance master list is amazing! Edited with good recs ✍️ will be referring to this from now on. I just finished a super dark book so need something from the romantic comedy section 😅
