Oooh, my local bookstore is looking for a part time romance expert and I am so damn tempted to apply. But also fuck, I feel like I am so out of the What's Big in Romance space anymore that I would probably fail at it. Or piss off the Mormon and right leaning locals with my radical ways 🤪😅

11. A Bluestocking's Guide to Decadence by Jess Everlee
Historical Romance, FF

2.5 Stars. I was often bored and didn't care about either MC. The romance was barely there, with more focus on side characters and their issues. At best this was a "meh" for me.

Time spent wandering a bookstore is essentially a form of meditation. There are few places that bring me as much peace as aimlessly wandering a bookstore reading the backs of books.

Giving a book can be a deeply personal way of saying, "I know you."

A bookshelf is a view of a person's soul.
I have three heretical thoughts about books:

- Time spent browsing in bookshops is mostly wasted
- Books make for terrible gifts. Don't give books.
- There are vastly more interesting things to put on living-room shelves than books

Come at me! Add to the list!
