Pleased to announce this is up for preorder. It's set in 1970, there's magic and gods and drugs and queer romance, and I did actually write a couple of songs for the Macbeth musical. It's a direct sequel to Dionysus in Wisconsin, so if you haven't read that weird fever dream yet, now is a good time to check it out.
I #read Kincaid by Marie James (#book 1/Cerberus MC). This is a rescue from an abusive relationship by a veteran MC President. (“A club. Not a gang.”) Expected issues relating to jealousy & club life. I liked it but probably wouldn’t repeat. #reading#romance#books#romancebooks#romancelandia@romancebooks
Help @bookstodon, kid is looking for her next read. Loved the Lunar Chronicles, Caraval, Court of Thorns and Roses, Maximum Ride. Suggestions? #Romancelandia
Saffron Alley by AJ Demas: Still love the characters and setting, pacing was a little odd.
Infinite Jes by Sam Starbuck: Fun characters, more Jewish than the last one, fade-to-black/sweet romance aspects made it feel a bit toothless, but adorable.
Romance writers (& editors), are you interested in gender as a craft tool & inclusion issue? I've just reposted my article ✨ Doing Gender on Purpose: Diversity, Depth, and Character in Romance✨ so that it's freely available. I hope you'll check it out, share it, give it a think :) https://www.eliotwesteditorial.com/gender-on-purpose.html
I #read the #audiobook of Unfit To Print by KJ Charles. This lovely Victorian #historicalromance is notable not just for the M/M #romance but because both MCs are POC in late-1800s London. For some reason, this #book hasn’t fared as well as her other #books in ratings - the setting & sub-plot might be uncomfortable for some. But I loved #reading it. #romancebooks ##bookstodon#romancelandia@romancebooks

Just #read Alien Healer by Sue Mercury (#book 2/Vaxxlian Mates). This short alien #romance novella is a rescue & rehab of a human female. Themes of arranged marriages, forced marriages, pregnancy, etc but no glaring consent issues between MCs (sometimes I struggle with this author over the excessive violence in her books). Haven’t read book 1 but will. #books#reading#romancebooks#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks
I’ve just finished #reading Silent Vows by Jill Ramsower (#book 1/The Byrne Brothers). I will definitely be following up on the other #books in this series. Lots of meh on GR but I liked it for the FMC & her attempts to adjust to a different sort of crime family while still traumatized by her father. Also I like OTT possessive protective MMCs so this was a win for me. #arrangedmarriage#read#romance#romancebooks#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks
I #read R’jaal’s Resonance by Ruby Dixon. This is the 1st #book of the spin-off series Ice Planet Clones from her famous OG Ice Planet Barbarians #romance#books. #reading these is still a delight. I LOVED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this one. This is my 45th book I’ve read from this world. #romancebooks#romancelandia@romancebooks
If you're looking for a good spooky season read, check out Dionysus in Wisconsin. It's got magic, mythos, music, demons, dancing, drugs, love, libraries, and literature aplenty.
I’m #reading via #audiobook Devil’s Bride (#book 1/Cynster but 2nd chronologically). I think I first #read this #historical#romance#mystery in 2009 when it was released & have listened to it before, too. When reading on paper or ebook, it’s possible to skip the epically long sex or nearly-sex scenes - pretty sure one of them lasts over 20 pages. This one is neither my favorite nor my least favorite of the Cynsterverse. #books#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks https://amzn.to/45RSI7h
I’ve stayed up into the small hours #reading The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles (#book 1/Doomsday). This story was intensely absorbing. I was a little disappointed that the ending was HFN - but I suppose there is no HEA for 2 gay men in 1810 England. 🏳️🌈 #read#romance#books#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks@bookstodon
I would like to thank #Romancelandia for all the info on fair use and copyright from a few years back when blogs were getting dinged. My work has us doing a training and my Twitter friends taught me more than my work
Since it’s a #football Saturday kind of day, I’ve #read Hard Hitter by Nikki Hall (#book 3/Wild Card). This #newadult college #romance is a charming brother’s best friend trope, and sister is afraid to tell him. I haven’t worked out how the book content led to the title, other than the loose connection to a sportsball term. #reading#books#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks
