Questo è il #libro che Ginevra, una studentessa di prima dell'indirizzo amministrativo, stava leggendo durante un'ora di supplenza. I #segnalibri, di tre diversi colori indicano i passaggi che le sono, piaciuti, quelli che le ricordano il suo migliore amico e le informazioni importanti.

Guest Author: Kris Bock and Pride and Prejudice at The Cat Café: “I’m really more of a dog person,” William muttered.
Well, that explained it. Liz liked dogs too, and cats, and just about every other animal.
Except for people. She didn’t always have a high opinion of them.

Every once in a while I get asked for advice by people interested in audiobook work.

I'm now adding a postscript to my replies to say that if they would like to thank me, I invite them to give a kind review to any of my books, for which I am happy to supply a free review copy.

Good reviews help sales a great deal. Most of the books I've narrated are short. It's a small ask.

Fingers crossed!

Because reviews help so much, I'm always happy to give anyone who has a sincere interest in reviewing my audiobooks a free review copy.

If you are reading this and that's you, pick out a title from this list, and let me know if you need a US or UK Audible code. It's that easy! https://adaraastin.ck.page/223e08bb72

*And please don't tank my reviews. If you hate a book, no review is better than a bad one.

One of the Unity GameObjects has a checkbox labeled "force assignation", and that don't seem right.

#RomanceTropesInFolklore
H is for Hidden Identity

I would venture this one is about as popular in folklore as it is in romance fiction 😄

weirdwriter, to bookstodon

I just saw a disclaimer in front of a #Romance book where the author actually felt that they had to justify why they actively did not include any homophobia in the book and that instantly made me very sad because you know this actually happened in the past where readers wrote to a writer and actually got super furious at them for creating a utopia in a book. Sometimes, I read things like this and I really don’t know what criticism to take seriously and what I should ignore. You, as a reader, might not like hearing this, but did you ever stop to think that maybe the reason why an author created a world with no homophobia in it because they just want to give some joy and a story without traumatizing some of their readers? Maybe they just wanna give Their readers and escape from the real world for a little while? I sincerely don’t believe for one minute that it’s erasing homophobia in the real world. I just can’t imagine anybody sincerely getting outraged over that, just blows my mind. @bookstodon

G is for Gentle Giants

Apparently, this is also a romance genre, named after the type of people who feature as romantic interests...

: kiss

From: For Love of a Konbini Idol
I Faced Her Onryo Lover

They have a ways to go before they get to the real thing.

Join Ume, Shiomi, and Tomo as their relationship develops. In a creepy world where “love” never dies.

Quote: I looked at the cigarette in my hand, thought, “What the hell?” and took a puff; “Ugh, unflavored.” But I’d finally gotten a kiss from my konbini girl, a secondary kiss, but a kiss.

: Smile

From: For Love of a Konbini Idol
I Faced Her Onryo Lover

Sometimes it's small things...

“Thank you;" Shiomi said. "it has been a long time since anyone bought me a meal and I had a pleasant time.” She was smiling, looking happier than I had seen her for a long time. The look transcended cute. She was stunning.

“You welcome,” I said, a little flustered. It seemed such a small thing and raised a new question: Had my buying her ramen been that special?

Join Ume, Shiomi, and Tomo as their relationship develops. In a creepy world where “love” never dies.
