#RomBkLove: Musician/Singer/Composer MCs

This post is part of #RomBkLove, a month-long Twitter event where folks share their recs for romances that fit particular themes. My theme for today is romances with MCs that are musicians, singers and composers. I love romances that center music not just because I love singing and playing music, but also because I love the …

Fave Jewish Rep in Romances I Read 2018-2019

At the beginning of 2018 I deliberately went seeking Jewish representation in romance, and had intended to do a post sharing my faves, but didn't manage it. So I thought I'd start a new yearly tradition. This post lists my favorite romances with Jewish representation that I read in 2018-2019, organized by trope. (Not all …

Fave Romance Novels I Read in 2019

This year, I am splitting off my favorite romances into two posts: favorite romance novels and favorite romance novellas and novelettes. This post lists my favorite romance novels I read in 2019. (Not all of them were published in 2019, of course.) It includes mostly new reads, with a few notable rereads. If you want …

Fave Winter Holiday Romances 2019

I did a post at the end of 2017 recommending a bunch of holiday romance. This is the 2019 edition of holiday romance recommendations, even though it is being posted in January 2020, right at the tail end of the winter holidays. Please forgive the delay! I'm hoping you might still be interested in winter …

Best Reads August-October 2019

This post gives a list of my favorite books I read in August, September, and October 2019. (I usually do a separate post for each month but wasn't able to this time. I'm glad to have finally gotten this post up!) This list definitely shows my bias towards contemporary romance, but also includes paranormal romance, …

Fave New-to-Me Romances Jan-June 2019

Here are my fave new-to-me romances I read in the first half of 2019, grouped by trope. I limited myself to selecting three at most from each author. A bunch of these books were by new-to-me authors!

#PrideLibrary19 Day 5: Yellow books

I thought I'd share some books from my TBR list for day 5, which focuses on yellow covers. All the books on this list are queer and/or trans and/or non-binary; I tried to have a bit of a cross-section, identity-wise and genre-wise. Note: I am using affiliate links to Amazon. If you buy through those links, I …

#PrideLibrary19 Day 2: Pink Books

I thought I'd do a recommendation list for day 2, which focuses on pink covers. All the books on this list are queer; I tried to have a bit of a cross-section, identity-wise. This list definitely shows my bias towards contemporary romance, but also includes fantasy, children's literature, YA romance, romsusp, and poetry. I link …

For the purposes of this post, geek romance is a romance that centers characters who are enthusiasts of something, be it a special interest, a hobby, a subject, a fandom. "geeks are fans of their subjects, …

Summer 2019 Releases I’m Anticipating

Here are some books I'm excited about that are coming out June-August 2019. Disclosure: All links to Amazon will be affiliate ones. If you buy through those links, I will make a small amount of money on that sale (which I plan to use to buy books to review), but it will not add any to …
