I've noticed that too. And some things that would have been paranormal romance when that was the hot genre get the romantasy label too. I'll never turn down some romance in my fantasy, but if you add the crime-solving from urban fantasy I'm going to drop everything and read the hell out of that.

I hear you! No shade at all to the publishers glomming onto romantasy, but I would love to see more contemporary fantasy and urban fantasy coming out.

Thanks so much! The City of Other cover -- swoon!

I miss the days when you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a good new urban fantasy series. I'll be checking it out! #ewgc

Oooh. Sounds perfect! #ewgc

Potential budget issues in the city mean Chicago Public Library (IL) may lose 89 full time equivalent positions and lose HALF of their book budget.

Oh good! I'm a huge fan of House Andrews, but haven't been sure I wanted to read an epic fantasy from them. #ewgc

It's pretty good! The books are OF COURSE better, but I wouldn't say it's a waste of $$ to subscribe for a month to binge it. My favorite was the incorporation of actual Sanctuary Moon content. So funny! But no one can tell Murderbot that it's not a quality show (although they try). #ewgc

You've got the wrong handle.

Hey now. I'm a liberal librarian and you're looking for the libertarian. You have the wrong person so please check your handles before flinging abuse my way.

I'm not a huge consumer of fanfic, but she also wrote Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love, which was a delight. So I know she's got the enemies-to-lovers thing covered! #ewgc

Me too!

And based on real history! I had never heard the story before last year, but this is the second novel in recent memory about The Kingdom of the Happy Land. Looks great.

I love Olivia Dade and this seems like a super fun take on some classic monsters. Danger bang with a surly vampire? Yes. #ewgc
