A Map of Romance Bookstores

Featured image for A Map of Romance Bookstores

Big thanks to Heather S. for this wonderful idea that we whipped up in a frenzy! Way back when, we used to have a Google Maps of “romance-friendly” bookstores, but now there are quite a number of romance-specific bookstores popping up. I was only able to find US and Canada-based bookstores. This also doesn’t have any of the wonderful pop-up or mobile romance shops out there. If we missed any in your area, please let … Continue reading A Map of Romance Bookstores

Links: Events, Amish Romance, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m home from a whirlwind trip to South Korea to attend my brother’s wedding. I had a blast and I definitely cried (out of sheer happiness) like a baby several times. He and his now wife (!!!) had a traditional Korean ceremony. Now my partner and I have to get ready for another wedding this weekend. It’s that time of the year! Thankfully, this one is only a short drive … Continue reading Links: Events, Amish Romance, & More

Books on Sale: A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft & More

RECOMMENDED: A Fragile Enchantment by Alison Saft is $1.99! Elyse read this one and gave it an A:

A Fragile Enchantment is a gentle, cozy fantasy romance (I refuse to use the word romantasy–you can’t make me), and it’s perfect for anyone looking for a romance that’s got a solid conflict, but isn’t angsty. I loved this book. This book is like being wrapped up in a blanket that just came out of the dryer. This book is like drinking the perfect cup of tea while watching it snow outside, knowing you don’t have to leave the house.

HaBO: He Helps Her Recover From Breast Cancer Surgery

This HaBO comes from DK and this may be worthy of an award for “most descriptive HaBO”: I’m reaching out to ask for help in finding the book that I’ve read years ago but couldn’t remember the title and the author. I’ve posted on many book and romance groups already but didn’t get a reply. I even Googled about the book but nothing matches with what I’m looking for. I don’t remember the exact year … Continue reading HaBO: He Helps Her Recover From Breast Cancer Surgery

Cover Awe: Celebrity Sightings, Re-Release Covers, & More

How I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming. An illustrated cover of a curvy Black woman holding a flagon of mead. She's has a pink, curly bob and is wearing a white peasant blouse. She's embraced by a man with tan skin and long dark hair. He has pointed ears and black horns that emerge from his forehead. His green shirt is unbuttoned and bunched around his elbows. He's holding her chin in his hands as light blue leaves and petals swirl around them.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! Elyse: Okay so the stairs would be digging into her back, but I love how different this cover is in terms of composition and color. Claudia: Beautiful!! Amanda: It gives me the feeling of it’s just the two of them hanging out after everyone has cleared out following a party. Sarah: That is a very relaxed and intimate image. I agree, it’s like they’re both thinking, “FINALLY everyone is gone. … Continue reading Cover Awe: Celebrity Sightings, Re-Release Covers, & More
