Booktok invented Romance. Somebody call his mama to come get him.
LOL, there's a dickhead out there who thinks Booktok invented the romance genre.

I own that I'm officially Old Lady Yelling At Clouds, but no one will ever be able to convince me that Booktok isn't the junkyard fire of Romancelandia.

If you're looking for a historical romance (and you know you are...), A Nun for a Viking Warrior by Lucy Morris is just $1.99. It's really good - lots of emotional grist for the angst mill. My review from 2022 wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2022/01/libr... #RomBkBlog #Romancelandia

For November's #tbrchallenge prompt: 'Change of Plans', I read HONEYMOON SWEET by Allison Temple, a cute, fake-relationship shipboard romance that kicks off when one MC is dumped at the altar and decides to go on his honeymoon cruise alone. A bit insta-lovey, but it works. #mmromance #romancelandia
TBR Challenge: Honeymoon Sweet (Out & About #2) by Allison Temple
Doug is a cheese pizza kind of guy. A honeymoon cruise around the Caribbean is the most adventurous thing he’s ever done. Going on that honeymoon alone is unthinkable, but here he is, with a luxury suite and a broken heart. Tripp is a hopeless romantic. He’s in a sinking relationship that’s been taking on water for months. He’d throw in the towel if he had one, but he’s naked and locked out of his room.

Audiobook review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir November's TBR optional theme: Change of Plans After absolutely loving the audiobook of The Martian, I picked up Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir as soon as it came out in 2021, but it sat on my virtual shelf ever since. The story about a man alone in space without his memories of how he got there definitely qualifies for November’s optional theme of Change of Plans.

The November 2024 #TBRChallenge is "change of plans." I chose a very new addition to Mount TBR, Roy Wood Jr's memoir. It is a beautiful, poignant book from a serious man who has made a career out of making people laugh. I LOVED this and highly recommend it! 📚

Question for any romance novel history people out there: does anyone know who might have been the first romance author to write/publish strict dual POV, ie: in equally distributed, alternating chapters? (Or, first-ish, I know tracking firstness in literature is complicated)
