We share our secrets and our thoughts with those who hold them gently in their hands and securely in their hearts.
These people are few. Even social butterflies who boast of being "people persons" with lots and lots of friends would be wise to watch with whom they share their innermost introspections.
How Carley Fortune's buzzy romance books are making beloved Canadian locations seem ... sexy
BookNet Canada's research shows romance book sales in Canada jumped 54 per cent in 2022, and continue to climb. Most of the top-10 selling fiction books in Canada in 2023, according to BookNet Canada, were romance titles and #Romantasy, a #Genre that combines #Romance and fantasy. (Fortune's #MeetMeAtTheLake made their list, the only book by a Canadian author.)
All three of Fortune's books have been bestsellers, and in June last year, both of her previous titles were on the New York Times Bestsellers list at the same time.
Dionysus in Wisconsin won third place at the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice awards in the fantasy/paranormal category. I am definitely going to be cool about this and not use it as an excuse to call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR at every turn because that would be obnoxious.
Aphobia is bigotry against #asexual (#ace) or #aromantic (#aro) people (sometimes agender, too). And in the following posts I will do a little explainer.
(I won't talk about agender, because I'm not agender.)
It's fine to not be that into #sex or #romance. It's fine to not feel sexually or romantic attracted to anyone. It's fine if you do have sex, but only rarely.
Sex and romance are deeply personal things, so don't let society put you down.
But aphobia says the opposite. Aphobia says that it is NOT okay, thus forcing everyone into sex and romance, even if it doesn't work.
@bookstodon My #review of All the Feels (Spoiler Alert #2) by Olivia Dade is now live! Lauren and Alex's relationship made for a fun read, but it was the themes in this novel that really make it.
#VendrediLecture avec Love on the brain, d'Ali Hazelwood.
Un roman mettant en scène une femme scientifique affligée de syncopes inopinées, ça ne pouvait que me plaire. J'ai donc passé outre la mièvrerie de la couverture et dévoré cette sympathique romance, dont je ressors le sourire aux lèvres.
Bonus : on aborde au passage les thèmes du sexisme et du classisme dans le milieux universitaire. #MastoLivre#Romance

Dance with me until the moon hides its face,
And the sun attempts to quicken the pace.
From the sunlight, the vampire turns his face,
And dancers twirl to the light’s frenzied pace.
Writing a horror novella with a romance subplot made me realize... I haven't read any modern romance novels! Need to expand my horizon so I am super open to recommendations!
