@herhandsmyhands Oh god, is it going to be like trying to post to Amazon with their restrictions?? I think I have Amazon's (it did take me 4 tries to get a recent review accepted) figured out for the most part, I don't have it in me to learn a new one.

@SuperWendy Did my schedule magically clear or did I Make It Happen because I have Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer picked out for this month's prompt.
YEARS this has been on the TBR.

hub: "I found this debate between Barbara Cartland and another romance author... Jackie Collins."

me: "Jackie Collins didn't write romance!"

hub: "What did she write?"

me: ".... trash."

😳🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

How would you describe Jackie Collin's books in a non-judgemental way? Are they in fact romance? 🤯

@willaful Dramantsy! But probably shouldn't give publishers any more ideas.

I'd go with soap opera too. Maybe not a room in the house but in the neighborhood.

@SuperWendy I went with Ice Planet Barbarians for this one. The FMC (and me!) are definitely not in Kansas anymore 😂

Read an old Harlequin, Only You, in which the office girls all sneer because the hunky hero's secretary must be 50 and "what a waste!"

That puts her maybe 14 years older than him... a smaller age difference than between him and the 18 year old heroine. 🤢

@SuperWendy I respect the going for it but hard no from me.

#WhatchaReading ? I started Early Morning Riser... I'm not sure it's romance? But I really like the voice and I'm pretty sure a romance reader rec'd it so am hoping for the best.

Also read Four Weeks in Winter by Jane Donnelly, which is available from the Internet Archive. Enjoyable oldie, with the main character's boss acting as her fake fiance to protect her from a jerky old flame.

Started the new Olivia Atwater but I don't seem to be in a gothic mood.

@willaful I've been curious about the new Atwater!
I just started Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen. It seems to be fated mates, so I'm hoping they still have to emotionally work for it.

#WhatchaReading ? I read A Mother for Christmas, a kindle freebie. A bit mawkish, but I can't say I wasn't warned by the title. The prose was quirky and had some personality to it. Could have used more payoff at the end.

@willaful I'm reading Will They or Won't They by Ava Wilder.
Kind of a slow start for me but it's a for real Adult Contemporary Romance Genre story and I'm riding high on just that fact. Too many women's fiction masquerading got me this year.

@Diva007 Seasonal and with a chef lead, I bet there is some good food to drool over. I'm going to have to add this to my holiday reads list! @romancelandia

For those of you who miss the Lemon Drop days on my blog - SHE'S BACK! What happens when a romance loving 13 year old who doesn't like graphic descriptions accidentally picks up a book that is most definitely not her thing https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2023/12/lemon-drop-cartoon-covers-and-smexy.html #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

@SuperWendy The second in the series was the "pinkie going in butthole" review I wrote 😂 Lemon Drop should not feel bad, these covers fooled my 25ish yrs, 40yr old romance reading self, too!
