Tell me your go-to “decoy” book you tell people you’re reading

You know when you’re reading a RH monster romance with primal play and breeding kink and your coworker asks what you’re reading on your kindle and you scramble around to think of less unhinged book to be reading— what do you lie and say you’re reading?

If I want to be semi-truthful I’ll say it’s a romance book, and then if they ask I’ll say it’s {The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams} which is a super funny and sweet friends to lovers closed door CR. Or Emily Henry.

If I fully want to throw them off the scent I’ll tell them I’m re-reading my favorite fantasy series.

What’s your go to?

Edit: I say “coworker” because I will tell a friend that I’m reading smut, but I will die before someone at work knows I’m a sexual being. No thanks. I’m a young woman, I don’t need any men who have seen booktok leering at me funny because they know the title of my book. Same goes for family members— they don’t need to know I like fairy porn
