@bookstodon No, historical romance author, your heroine’s skirt hem did not skim over the bluebells, nor did lilac petals fall onto her bright unbound hair.
What kind of details bring your suspension of disbelief plummeting to the ground, fellow readers? For me, it’s often mistakes about plants, or food.
@CommonMugwort@bookstodon It just seems to me that writing a historical anything is making an electrified rod for your own back. Unless you really like doing all that research, set the damn thing in a fantasy universe, where you have more leeway!
@weebdeluxe@bookstodon I couldn’t tell you. I read every day. As my main leisure activity. I read for myself, and I listen yo audiobooks when walking. I just don’t notice how many pages. Hours? At least two, I guess?
@bookstodon Somebody here reminded me of them and I remembered I liked one or two back in the last century, so I guess I’m reading the whole Liaden universe series now #SpaceOpera
