Hey, fellow romance readers! Longtime romancelandia denize and author of historical romances Manda Collins is facing a mountain of medical bills after spending almost two weeks in hospital at the beginning of the month.
Anything you can do to help (donate, share, both), is much appreciated.
This novel felt like it was in the same genre/vein as Sorry to Bother You, which was even more over the top, but had similar themes. It is the kind of thing that has a very specific appeal, and if you aren't in the mood/prepared it is not going to work at all
makes sense-- i was very much IN that mood at the time, i was reading a ton of books in that general genre of creeping paranoia + home ownership battles/neighborhood battles & that's probably why it got recommended to me...
many are set in the burbs or else London, i loved the Brooklyn setting!!!
@SuperWendy@romancelandia@smutreport no joke, Shelly Laurenston's Honey Badgers and Call of Crows seriesare my comfort reads. When I'm livid but have to stay professional, I can count on the honey badger to commit mayhem. So satisfying.
@herhandsmyhands@romancelandia@bookstodon Thanks for sharing. I left RWA in January 2020 and I knew this was coming and what they would give as the reason for their end.
ICYMI: the RWA is filing for bankruptcy, and because nice white ladies (TM) can't help themselves, they're implying it's Courtney Milan (and the push for progress and inclusivity in the organization) that ruined the organization.
Dionysus in Wisconsin won third place at the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice awards in the fantasy/paranormal category. I am definitely going to be cool about this and not use it as an excuse to call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR at every turn because that would be obnoxious.
I positively inhaled David S. Pederson's Puzzles Can Be Deatly, a most excellent fairplay historical quozy mystery. Here's hoping the author writes more books with these protagonists.
Hey @romancelandia and @bookstodon - I've got a cover reveal for you! :blobcatpeek: My historical romance Springtime Pleasures has got a brandnew cover! I hope you like it!
@herhandsmyhands@romancelandia@bookstodon OK, but is it erotica or is it women's fiction? Because I'm really struggling with the idea that it's both. Maybe very steamy women's lit? I feel like they are casting way too wide a net here...
The vector illo style isn't helping this at all. If you told me this was NA hiking/college romance, with fade to black closed-door intimacy, I'd be more willing to believe it than if you handed this to me and said it's erotica. Oof.
Because I didn't feel right with my DNF review for this months' #TBRChallenge, I dug up another ancient ARC from the digital shelves: Nalini Singh's Rock Wedding
After seeing multiple books in the Lyon's Den Connected World in NetGalley, I read one; this is also my introduction to the author, Ruth A Casie, and it didn't go well. Here's my review for The Lyon's Gambit
