I actually love children's books but I hate that they're basically my only option because I don't want to read about romance.

Lots of adults' books don't have any romance in them.

Which ones? I'd love recs because I haven't been able to find any.

What genres do you like? There’s romance in some but not all of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, which are some of my favorites. And by romance, do you mean any mention of kissing/crushes/sex/etc or just having that be a main focus?

I like mystery,fantasy,and horror. I'll tolerate only the slightest mention in books.It's weird because I don't mind it in other mediums. I actually like it in comics and tv shows.

I tend to like romance as a side plot in fantasy, which is most of what I read.

T. Kingfisher’s The Twisted Ones is a horror novel with no romance, but also I’m surprised that there’s that many horror novels with romance plots/subplots. Nine Goblins is a fantasy novella by the same author, also no romance. The Temeraire books by Naomi Novik have only a few mentions of romance spread over several books, it’s definitely not a major focus. Lois McMaster Bujold’s first two Penric novellas, are romance-free.

I don’t remember if Katherine Addison’s The Goblin Emperor had any romance elements; it’s been awhile since I read it and I don’t think so. Have you tried asking FS for recs?
