Many a non-romancelandia bookseller is going to stash these in YA (shades of IPB recovering). Which raises an important question:

Are Gen Z readers going to be disappointed the heroine wears thongs?

Oooo a product that helps us resist the distractions of all our other products? The sheer altruism of tech companies.
And, yes, of course I want it, Writing Community.

Tempting Olivia is one of the best celebrity romances AND best buttoned-up character gets unbuttoned' romances I've ready in ages. A perfect 2-for-1.
Aaaaand it's part of Clare Ashton's new KU line up.

Why wasn't there a romancelandia klaxon alarm sounding the moment this was A. THING.?
A wlw sports romance adaptation produced by queer sports legends, no less.

Last night, I was seduced into watching About Time, the 2013 Richard Curtis rom com, by the antics of disarmingly floppy haired Englishmen. This looks fun, I thought....

I'm dropping everything and reading this.

Doesn't that one also feature a house with disaster plumbing? Gotta love James.
Gordon Riots featured lots of attacks on prisons but don't know about hulks specifically.

Gave myself the best valentine yesterday. Nobody does a cinnamon roll hero like Abby Jimenez!
Also gave myself sleep deprivation and dehydration but totally Worth. It.

Romance-friendly indie bookstore spotlight:

💖The Concord Bookshop in Concord, MA🌟

Surprised how many of these titles I didn't know! Other titles like IPB mixed in with the Fantasy section.

Also, the downtown is just all kinds of New England cute

Bluesky, wow, why didn't I join the twitter exodus sooner?!

Hi, I'm Meg. You can find me bouncing between Portugal, the UK, and US. Usually with 3 ereaders. I'm accidentally an exclusive writer of holiday romance.
If I've given you a follow, it's cause you love #romancelandia as much as I do.
