and Happy Black History Month.

I’m so very sorry for your loss ❤️ I hope you find comfort in books whenever you need it.

Classic Romance Novels: A Starter Pack (Gift Article) These vintage books introduce the archetypes, settings and lavishly bonkers sensibility that are the hallmarks of great romance.

ICYMI: I built a starter pack of classic romances that goes all the way back to the 1950s. Selected to show the genre’s breadth, not simply to hit familiar highlights. It’s a lot of hidden gems, and I’ve probably left off at least one of your faves (gift link). #RomanceColumn #Romancelandia

Horse names...Golden Barb and Nottingham, 0.5
Epigram and Pale Marauder, bk 1
Jerome and Hattie, bk 2
Agh agh I know there are more. Racehorse names are a rich and hliarious vein.

I have a horsish historical romance series! Romance of the Turf, set in the Regency horse-racing world. theresaromain.com/books/

A Graz’zt, a buff purple monster with at least one massive sword. The description includes the phrase “wrongness pervades his beauty.” 10/10 no notes

The horniest page from Mr. R’s 2024 page-a-day D&D monster calendar, take 2. (Because I didn't crop take 1 enough and there was personal crap in the image, I'm awesome at photos, go me.)

I’ve been trying to unforget French and encountered this sultry piece of work during a Babbel lesson. (I redid the lesson just to get this recording. Trust, listen, you won’t be sorry.)

Author Emma Barry Updates!

I should mention that I'm working on a Valentine's Day extra for my newsletter subscribers. I meant for it to be a bonus story about Jack and Libby (the entertainment journalists from Bad Reputation), but it's sort of turning into a novelette. anyhow, you can sign up here mailchi.mp/4ae4b9161b02...

Even when I’m away for ages—especially then—I’m finding joy and escape in books. If you’ve been publishing stories of love in all its forms in the past few years, thank you. Thank you for sharing your creative gifts and putting a little more light in the world.

My ex’s judgy older bro (39m) told him to dump me (37f). Now I'm broke & stuck in a 10-ft-wide Spite House next door. If I blast monsterfucking audiobooks & tell MLM reps that older bro can host Tupperware parties, AITA? www.harpercollins.com/products/at-...

That's not SO bad, then. Put on good music or an audiobook?

I loved The Good Part! One of those magic books, really funny in parts but also deeply moving. I've just put the Poston book on hold and I see that my library has the Serle available now. Yay! Thank you for the recs :D

I was already sold when you said that you wrote it, so now I’m even more sold :)

Hugs to you, Sally. I hope this is The One!

I’ve been in the mood for a very specific kind of book: MC(s) get to redo their past or preview their future. (I don’t think this is heavily symbolic?? They’re just cool and interesting) Any recs for me? These are a little diff from time loop stories. I’ve recently read:
