Top 4 non-fluffy books (not necessarily books without romance, but books where any romance isn’t fluffy.) Thanks to Ally Memes @AllyWritesThings for hosting this bi-weekly meme. Check out her upcoming topics here.
The Red Rising Trilogy
Yeah, there’s love and slag. But the real mushy stuff happens between books. Darrow and Mustang are obsessed with each other, but it’s not mushy, mainly because they spend most of their time pretending not to be obsessed with each other.
Ready Player One
Parzival and Artemis end up in a relationship by the end, but really, they spend most of their time as friends/team mates.
I Am Legend
This one may not be fair. There are no people for Robert Langdon to do any lovey dove stuff with. And even if there was a scene where he lit some candles, had a long bath, and had some self-romance, it was obviously cut from the final version.
Fight Club
There’s love there, but it’s about a far as you can get from mushy.
Yay these are awesome choices! I totally agree about Red Rising and Fight Club. There’s romance in both of them, but very rarely fluff (except maybe a little in Red Rising at the very beginning with Eo)
Ooh great list!! I adore Red Rising 😀 And Ready Player One is great too. I really need to read I am Legend and Fight Club 🙂
I Am Legend is so great. And it’s a quick read. It’s actually a short story, but most of its printings are a collection of shorts. It’s one of those stories that you reach the end and go “HOLY %@$#!”
Oh brilliant!! 😀 I can’t wait for it then!!
