Love these recs! I loved some of these books and added some to my tbr :)

Thank you for this video, I really needed it 💗

I’m blessed that I found this video and your channel! Tysm🤎

Thank you so much for this!! It’s so hard to find no spice books as a Christian

How dare you say you read a book and the mmc reminded you JAEMIN 😡 now I’m forced to read it

leigh bardugo makes books specifically for the delulu girls I feel because alex and darlington from ninth house makes me feel the same way even tho they literally have NO romantic interactions like none at all NOTHING HAPPENS yet they have been my roman empire for 2 years now I cry real tears for them

POWERLESS BY LAUREN ROBERTS!! (for delulu girl says "now kiss")

Great video💕. I didn't really like the first Truthwitch book so I haven't read the second book yet but know which couple you're talking about because I also predicted their romance.

What do you do for sorting the pages you’ve screenshot? I’ve been using the kobo app recently on my iPad because the markup is integrated directly into their app, but I really miss the kindle app because I can view my non-Amazon books on any device if I use send to kindle. Kobo doesn’t have that yet. I just feel like the screenshots would get messy in the photos album, especially if you’re reading one book at a time.

omg its like youtube read my mind because why did they know i need no spice recs

Loved the simplicity!!

For people who love the vibes of bridgerton but want no spice- Blackmoore and Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson!!! I'm obsessed with them, esp Also Jo & Laurie, which is basically like the ultimate fix it fanfic for Little Women (aka where we stop denying that Jo & Laurie belonggg together). It also has my fav book quotes of all time - "Love yourself like I love you, old friend" and "who knew a heart could break open so expansively"

OMG i lovee Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry such a cute book <3

No, like, I needed this! I been DNF all the booktok recommended stuff. I love story and when the story is all smut I just skip every page.

Love love the clean romance book list Sunny!! I've been looking for clean romance books😊❤

Thank you! I'm asexual and it makes me incredibly frustrated and angry that it seems like ANY romance is reduced to sex only

Adding all the Brigid Kemmerer books to my more immediate "Read now!!!" TBR after having added them like months ago when I first saw you recommend them.

A book that isn't really a top tier / holy grail romance BUT it's one that I had SUCH a hyperfixation on and I can't wait to reread it bc I'm obsessed with its trope is the Gilded/Cursed duology by Marissa Meyer. It's in a high fantasy world based off of a fairytale retelling for Rumpelstiltskin (I most assuredly spelled that wrong) and it's a romance between a girl and this ghost? boy and after The Last Hours I needed more of that trope so there you go if you're like me. It's also got great banter between the characters and as far as I remember there's no smut but it is more on the adult side.

I recommend Afterlove by Tanya Byrne. It's a sapphic love story split in two parts. The first is just girl meets girl and the girls have the softest most lovely romance ever (five stars five million trillion stars best romance ever and no spice) the second has more of a supernatural element / right person not enough time and there's a lot of conflict. I don't want to give spoilers but yeah. I liked the first part better than the second part bc the supernatural element was iffy for me. Books need to be either full on high fantasy or exclusively contemporary for me, so this one with just a tiny tiny bit of supernatural didn't do it for me. But the first part was so so lovely. My advice is read the first part then if you want read the second part

I can also recommend Susan Dennard‘s other series the Luminaries, love story there is also really slow burn, Magic is interesting and the books are not to long. ❤

Thanks for this. ❤ I feel like spice is just so unnecessary and sometimes even ruins the tension between the characters.

The Veridian Priestess I have read 3 times now. True star crossed lovers, masked man, spicyyyyy. I just can’t get enough omggg

Love it! I'm looking for inspiration bc I realized I want to do a more personal reading journal, at the moment I have one I bought, and while I like it, I don't really get the most of it. I'm thinking on doing a left page with the book and author details, as well as a little tracker where I write down the date and how much I read each sitting; and then use the right page to write whatever I think while reading the book and then when I finish it, including quotes or just random thought I got during the reading. I don't care about stats bc that is more efficient in spreadsheets or an app, so I love seeing your journaling focused on each book itself.

I used to love Kasie West, i def recommend all of her older stuff, especially PS I like you and By Your Side

Oh my gosh I never hear people talk about these Brigid Kemmerer books but they're SO good!!! I love them. Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't mind spice sometimes but it would be nice to change it up with some no spice too!

I knew i was deep in sunny kim recs when i’ve read most of these 😭

my favorite adult romances that have absolutely no spice and only a bit of kissing (but lots of fluff and love) are Cleopatra Margot’s books!

i love this!! i will always need more no spice/closed door romances! difficult to find, but it’s worth the search to avoid smut. thank you so much for this video!

delulu girl girl says "now kiss!" I highly recommend Counted With the Stars by Connilyn Cossette like barley anything is happening, stolen glance across the fire place , it is perfection I will leave you with that and a quote “My life was nothing but scattered rhythms and dissonant notes before I met you.” I highly recommend it’s amazing please give it a chance 🥰😘

Hey Sunny new subscriber here!! Just found you randomly nd now I am obsessed. ❤

Letters to the lost literally dragged me out of my reading slump

Okay but I’ve legit had Fable on my bookshelf for months after finding it at Barnes randomly and thinking it would be good …. Looks like I must read it 😅

Sunny I need you to read "Ferryman" by Claire McFall. It's a trilogy series, I'm currently reading the first book right now and I am OBSESSED with the characters.

Thank youuu sooooo much!!! I will start and keep going with my dream of having a youtube channel <3 Love youuu

This is one of my favorite video 😍

i also fall asleep when reading it’s annoying at times

this was the perfect video for me as someone who doesn’t read spice💖 also, I’m in a terrible slump and I want to start the infernal devices trilogy but I was wondering if you would recommend it to get out of a reading slump? I’m a romance girly too so it has to have romance for me to enjoy it

And I immediately subscribed!! Your recs are SO good, I've probably read about half of these already (which gives me so many exciting ones to look forward too). I don't hate spice inherently, I just need to feel really connected to the characters and their relationship first (slow burns are sooo much juicier!!), and I've found that most books I read that feature it tend to overdo it, and forget that the genre was supposed to be romance, it just becomes a full on smut novel. At that point I just get super bored, and mentally check out lol. As for recs, I'd say pretty much everything by Kasie West (Sunkissed, and Places We've Never Been are faves), Margaret Rogerson's first two books (An Enchantment of Ravens, and Sorcery of Thorns), and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (I've only read book one so far tho and can't speak about sequels)

the scream i scrumpt when you started off with letters to the lost. it’s one of my absolute favourite books ever! i’m also someone who enjoys feeling emotional pain when reading lol. love the recs!

Que cuestiones de la vida son importantes para usted?

guys if you like the so highschool category I would recommend Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert and I Hope This Doesn't Find You by Ann Liang, they're so adorable!

help i was literally getting tired of all the smutty books- tysmmmm!! 💛💛💛

girl i finally read better than the movies this past week and it had me giggling at like 3 am! it was sooo sweet 😭 i love the books with slow-burn moments of literally nothing happening because all the small scenes become such gems + my christian self always ends up speed-skimming explicit scenes lol. I love all the fluffy romances so ty!! ♥

Yay! A vid with its own unique title LMFAO 😂 I click 🔥 Always love your recommendation vids and was delighted to see one about no spice 😍

I would love to see you do a video about your favorite books and who you would fan-cast or just who you imagined while reading them.
