Howdy! Thanks for clicking your way over to our Hot Pink Palace of Bitchery, where you can comfortably indulge in all of the excellence and silliness associated with — as our name might imply — romance novels and the smart women who read them, write them, and enjoy discussing pretty much everything about them.
Here at Smart Bitches, we keep the following goals:
- We connect romance fans to the books they want to read — and even more books after that.
- We connect romance fans to each other — no romance fan should be lonely!
- Most importantly, we welcome everyone with a high level of irreverent, silly, and smart discussions about all the topics romance fans enjoy.
