I read Jade Lee's Vixen; it's the first in a series set in 1850s China. I am sorry I didn't like it more.

Could you add the title and author to the alt text of these audiobooks? The links in the figures aren't always clickable but I am so glad you updated/made this list! I just discovered Duee narration and sometimes like it better than full cast narration! @SuperWendy @jeevesreads @romancelandia

This post was supposed to go up this morning, but June has been a year already, so here it is, in the "better late than never" side of things.

Is it even possible for the lady and her dowry to have been wagered in that way?

@romancelandia

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

@Jaycee @SuperWendy @romancelandia

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.

So the RWA has filed for bankruptcy, and chooses to blame it on Courtney Milan and the "woke push" for DEI.

You knew I would rant about that, yes?

@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.

@romancelandia @bookstodon

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.

Racism? bigotry? don't know them.

I read Vanessa Riley's A Gamble at Sunset, first in a new historical romance series. Alas, I think this author's writing voice may not be for me.
