Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston spring has devolved back into a Boston winter this week. Typical! I don’t really mind the cold so much; it’s the wind. The wind is so brutal sometimes. My partner recently made a Trader Joe’s run and TJs is so good for fun and interesting snacks. But I have a gripe. They’re so popular and I get very overwhelmed and overstimulated in crowded areas. I want to browse, … Continue reading Links: Public Library Awesomeness, Fic Organizing, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links where I am definitely very sleepy! So far this week, every day has felt like a Monday. Between the heat and this pandemic, I’m just over it.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m still in Florida and let’s just say it isn’t going super well. My flight was also delayed by a giant man baby refusing to wear a mask and then cursing out a plane mostly full of families going to Disney. On the bright side, I did get a pretty sporty rental car and I went to Atlanta for the Georgia Aquarium to finally see their whale sharks. … In … Continue reading Links: Irish Music, a Writer’s Fellowship, & More →
I read the first chapter of Spoiler Alert and was sucked into a compulsive reading vortex, becoming annoyed when work or sleep tried to distract me from gobbling up the book. It’s a delightful celebrity romance that treats writing sexy fanfiction as a worthy creative pursuit. It also has a classic falling for your penpal storyline, without the slow burn over correspondence that tends to annoy me. This story of a fanfiction writer who falls … Continue reading Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade →

Hope you all are having a great week and, if not, fingers crossed it gets better. … Have you heard about Love Africa Press?

It’s still February. It’s the shortest month, but yet it feels like the longest. Maybe that’s because in New England, winter is still happening and we’re all just over it. Meanwhile, my boyfriend is going on a trip to the dang Bahamas next week! How unfair is that! … For Goodreads’ Romance Week, they interviewed several romance authors about what they do when they aren’t writing. They talked with Courtney Milan, Eloisa James, Penny Reid, … Continue reading Links: Fanfic Recs, a Kickstarter, & More →
Fanfiction has been mentioned several times on the site, and one of the best Smart Podcast Trashy Books episodes I’ve been a part of was our episode on shipping: 320. Deep Diving into our OTPs with Amanda, Elyse, and Sarah. I started reading fanfiction in high school. It was a good way to read romance, about characters that I loved, without having to spend my meager allowance. I even wrote some, but they’re long since … Continue reading Favorite Romance Fanfiction →
