I like what I like and what I like is love.

Romance reader and vintage romance collector. My bookshelves that are organized by color annoy people.

This is why non-romance people need to read more romance, honestly: will-they-won’t-they is fine but it is not the same narrative as “they did and then they did again and then they keep going but eventually someone’s gonna find out and then they’re REALLY fucked.”
but this? shut the fuck up. guess what, my man, gorgeous young 22 year olds like to fuck. And queer people deserve love stories that are sexy and horny. a "chaste kiss" please be for real.

All Kayla wanted to do was make rent. She ends up with the man of her dreams, who is filthy rich. A modern day plus size Cinderella story with a good amount of banging. Start with So Sweet. You wont be disappointed.

When I say I wish the books I read could be made into movies or TV shows, THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

When you have Thanksgiving with your 90 year old Boomer dad and he turns away from the best part of the halftime show.

He's a liberal but not Seven Nations Army liberal. 😭😂

Such a great novella!
For a limited time, you can grab my award-winning novella, TIKKA CHANCE ON ME, for just $0.99! Trucker and Pinky are a cheap date! But, sorry, you'll have to procure your own samosas.

This is such a great read!!
This is my annual recommendation of one of my favorite romance novellas ever, A Midnight Feast by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner. It’s a marriage in trouble set against the backdrop of the 1960s space race between astronaut Mitch and his frustrated wife Margie left alone over Thanksgiving weekend.

My DIL and I are now trauma bonded from bullshit my SIL and nephew are serving. So we're just going to the bar on Xmas Eve and the men can endure that family.

Y'all I have gotten Wordle in two the past two days. Only 1 letter in the wrong space so a complete guess for the second word.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Over on TikTok they are discovering historical romance, so I OBVIOUSLY had to make one about my collection and show off my amazing moveable bookshelves.

And now I'm writing lists of books to hype like a homework project. I'm gonna have to make SEVERAL TTs about my favorites!

It's a long list.

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

I'm getting carpets cleaned next week so I'm having to clean and move shit from the living room. It's one way to get in a workout. Phew.

When you clean out your chest freezer for new homegrown meat and cry over the stuff that got buried at the bottom since 2021. 😭😭😭

Bookstores would be able to stock more books if publishers stopped putting out 800 page trade tomes that could be edited down significantly and not formatted for book collectors. Anyway long live the MMPB.

Why did I even go hunt it down? I hate myself right now.
I saw a screenshot of the opening paragraphs of the thing everyone is talking about and what a terrible day to be able to read.

I know we give threads a hard time but I popped over there and the timeline had zero weird Kennedy content, I wonder how it feels to live in that world
