  • @BrothaJaufrey Thornhedge is more on the fantasy side, though has some horrific elements. She writes both. @PostmortalPop

    #TopicOfTheDay Have you ever read a couple follow up or sequel that you really wish had never been written?

    #WhatchaReading ? I Think They Love You by Julian Winters was a nice Valentine's Day read - a second chance/fake dating romance with a good growth arc for the lead. Lots of sweet pining and a big

    #WhatchaReading ? I started the follow-up to Out On a Limb (my review of that: https://willaful.wordpress.com/2023/09/19/out-on-a-limb-by-hannah-bonam-young/). It's supposed to stand on its own but

    #WhatchaReading? I finished It Takes a Thief by Anne Stuart and even though it needed a good editing, -- far too much repetitious internal dialogue -- I still enjoy her storytelling. Some great

  • @Tiffany I enjoyed that one very much also. Planning to read the second book soon.

    Third act breakups have gotten kind of terrible, haven't they? Sometimes they just seem so forced and obligatory.

    #TopicOfTheDay What's the most recent romance or romance-adjacent book you read and what did you think?

    #WhatchaReading ? I'm in another recent Anne Stuart, It Takes a Thief. Liking this historical much more than Return to Mariposa, but both have the same continuity issue. 🤔

    #WhatchaReading ? It's damn hard to enjoy billionaire romance these days, but Most Eligible Billionaire by Annika Martin is so engaging, I got through. And he is a very good billionaire, who likes to

    #WhatchaReading? I DNF'd Return to Mariposa by Anne Stuart. It's highly implausible, there's a huge continuity error, and it just felt... disconnected from itself, like nothing flowed in a reasonable

    ooo! I just found out Mhari McFarlane pulished a follow up to Who's That Girl in 2024! Does it answer the all important question about the secondary characters?! We wanna know!

    #AmReading Cate C. Wells' latest, The Wild Wolf's Rejected Mate, and admiring how she comes up with new stories for the same trope. (I suspect current events may also be influencing her view of

    #WhatchaReading ? I found Cruel Winter With You sweet, but with a constant edge of creepy. The MMC persists in sounding like a little boy -- when he talks about all he wants to give her, I'm imagining

    #AmReading The Nightmare Before Kissmas, and though the writing is engaging, I find the premise -- heartless corporate holiday families controlling their kids lives -- very alienating. Just makes me

    #WhatchaReading ? I've managed to finish two very good contemporary romances: Canadian Boyfriend and Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry (YA.) Both had themes of betrayal, and were masterclasses in owning your

  • @wendypalmer It doesn't necessarily have one, but I'm not that far in yet. The similarity is more meta.

    No, no, it's too cruel!

    #WhatchaReading ? I enjoyed The Forgotten Dead by Jordan Hawk in a terrified kind of way. 😂 Seriously scary! Also very casually queer, and with a delightful, light on steam m/m romance between a

    #WhatchaReading ? I'm finding My Roommate is a Vampire a fun, easy read, but am unconvinced by the romance. Not feeling the undead chemistry. 😂

    I managed to get a review finished for the first time since I had covid! It might be just because this was so easy to criticize. 🙄

    #WhatchaReading ? I'm reading Stay by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy and liking it, except I am totally earwormed now.

    #WhatchaReading ? I finished Right Where We Left Us, a second chance romance which has some lovely writing and great romantic moments. I was impatient with the characters though, for hiding so much

    #WhatchaReading ? I enjoyed The Art of Scandal by Regina Black, an older woman/young man romance about a Black woman who gave up her art and interests to help her white politician husband, and has to

  • @Dee We have quite a few as well. I rarely read print anymore, but they're just really fun to look through, and very handy for donations.

  • @ArmoredCavalry Ebooks solve so many problems for me. I'll almost never read print if I can get the ebook.
