What book bloggers do people follow to find their erotica and romance? Not all of those I followed on Twitter migrated to here, but I am sure there are ones I don't know about in the Fediverse.
Particularly interested in sf/f/h/weird erotica and romance book bloggers, and lgbtq+ themed blogs, but also generalists.

Romance Writers of America (RWA) is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, in part because of years of controversy surrounding race and inclusion. The trade association was founded by a Black woman in 1980 but became progressively whiter and less supportive of Black writers, awarded controversial books and in 2005, polled members on if romance should be defined as between one man and one woman. Despite all this, romance itself is thriving — it's the highest-earning fiction genre and sales are climbing. NBC took a look at what went wrong at the RWA. We want to know: What genres of book do you read (choose as many options as you like)? And if you're a writer, tell us about your work in the comments!
'A very enjoyable read with an unusual setting, a believable romance, main and secondary characters with depth, genealogy research and family secrets and intrigue.' Goodreads Reader Review
Just finished Iron Flame, part 1, and the Graphic Audio version had me hooked! I like it better than the one made by Recorded Books, but so can't wait for part 2 to come out! Although, a few romance writing quibbles with this one, like the chase, and the payoff, I still think Violet didn't get what she needed from Xaden Riorson confession at the end, but still, highly recommend! There are some ways the eBook is written though, with the italics, that I feel weren't captured via audio but I didn't stop reading! https://www.graphicaudio.net/the-empyrean-2-iron-flame-1-of-2.html#Romance#RomanceLandia@romancelandia@romancebooks

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.
