It’s a really good time

His Secret Illuminations by Scarlett Gale! A romantasy (I guess) about a meek, nerdy monk who falls for an enormous and badass warrior woman

Enjoy!! ❤️

Basically that box is the erotica box and checking it will get a book treated like erotica, even if it isn’t.

Also, if they want to start censoring books for having sex scenes, I’m gonna make them work for it at least a little bit.

But everything else - basically everything with an HEA ending - I didn’t check the box, because ime checking the box gets a book blocked from all library platforms and put in the “adult” section of others (like kobo), and that’s just not where small town romcoms should be.

I went to check my D2D and realized I lied and do have some stuff that I checked the box on. Basically anything that’s irrefutably erotica (under 10k words, like 80% explicit, not necessarily an HEA) I checked it, I think because there’s not really an argument that it’s romance?

tbh I’m of the opinion that people who write erotic content shouldn’t check it anywhere, but that’s probably a whole other discussion

And checking that box on Amazon actually does the same thing - they put the book into erotica categories, they just do it without asking you.

Ah. Whenever I’ve checked that box in the past (never again!) it’s always created a huge headache with them blocking various distribution channels and whatnot - does that not happen any more?

Hi! This has happened to me in the past and it was relatively easy (if annoying) to get it fixed, if you’re looking for advice?

(Tip number one is that usually those “adult content” checkboxes really mean “visual adult content,” but that guideline is very hard to find)

The lawyer with the billboards?!

You’d think I’d have figured that out by now and wouldn’t be surprised, but here we are!

…also what’s the QAnon-ish book?!

I remember thinking after roe v wade got overturned that accidental pregnancy romance would become way less popular and I don’t think that’s happened

It’s on a level with the Sherlock Holmes story where he “deduces” that a snake was the murderer

I’m still a dabbler in audio, but Aggie’s books usually have great narrators, and if you’ve read a bunch before it’s pretty easy to follow the plot despite zoning out sometimes, even if you don’t remember exactly what happens in the end

It’s called The Big Four and it’s a wild ride

Thank you! We’ve got a car but are three people and a cat in about 1100 square feet; I do not have room for extra paper towels let ALONE bulk frozen foods.
