Right? Can’t they Just let folks enjoy their reads & life since they hurting zero amount of people in their choice of books 😭

On your pillowcase request, are there specific ones you want or are you just like ‘need pillowcases don’t care about design’?

For me, it said ‘blood on hands’ but I like yours too!

But HEA/HFN pretty much always exists and is expected BUT it’s the emotional journey, character arc re: internal struggles rather than external & feeling HEA was earned by overcoming the obstacles that makes it pay off for readers when they pretty much know this awaits the characters.

More like they have things they enjoy & it doesn’t spoil for them to know in advance like only one bed, enemies to lovers, fake marriage/dating, so you say ‘hey we got that!’ and they buy/borrow to read their favorite.

Oh it’s sales for romance. Generally, romance readers have fave tropes & this particular marketing can be effective with this audience for that reason. Let’s them quickly ID if they want to explore more or pick it up. But as far as acclaim, I don’t think so.

I would say they work for romance but less so for other genre work?

This sounds interesting! i love ACNH 

Ouch! 🤕 hope it gets better soon. Just put the sock on, will report back after party on effectiveness ;)
But also surgery was Aug 25 & this Frankenfoot is still a nightmare

I was trying to help them understand this is LAW in romance so they don’t end up crushed. Write anything that gives you joy, but please market accordingly & save yourself the agony, LOL

Oh gosh, I was on a panel about genre & I was trying to explain the HEA rule exists. This person wanted to insist that they were gonna write to break rules. I finally said write what you want, but don’t try to market it as romance without the HEA or the reviewers/readers will *eviscerate* you, fact.

And feel free to send me any questions!

So gaudy and gross

Can you actually do that without difficulty? Banking keeps changing! I havent had to open a new account in so long. & when I’ve looked at moving overseas, they seemed to indicate you needed specific ID number or whatnot to open an account at their country’s banks.
I am super curious now!
