I am absolutely terrified of heights, but made myself climb to see Notre Dame's gargoyles back in 2006. I took this photo and I'm so glad I did. What a terrible loss.

Anyone who thinks romance novels have unrealistic plots should know that the first time I saw my husband he was carrying three guitars and I *whispered* to myself 'I'm going to marry that guy' and friends, I sure did. We've been together for 21 years.
Anyone who thinks romance novels have unrealistic plots should know that just before prom my senior year my boyfriend dumped me so I told my best friend to ask me. He got down on one knee and did. And weโve been together ever since, 29 years now.
as a romance book reader I want all of the context clues, blurb plot points, and guarantee of that HEA. I come to the genre for knowing what I'm going into and being delighted and satisfied on the journey.
I don't want to be tricked or genre defied okay?

it was WILD. and to shock me, a child of the land before time // all dogs go to heaven // brave little toaster // neverending story era? dang.
A huge thank you to romance books and romance readers and romance authors. Life is really hard, you help bring me joy. I can't talk about any of this on main but know I'm grateful for a space to be me.
Not to be alarmist but do check your library books for signs of bed bugs. Look inside the plasticleer liner especially. Flip through. The biggest tell is black speckles on the edges of the pages
mr. b: you're reading on your kindle why are there three paperbacks stacked on our Airbnb nightstand
me: those are my emotional support potential books
Romance novel character: oh I don't believe in happily ever afters and all that.

types of romance readers, right to left

-fuck yeah i read romance what of it (god tier)
I dunno I just think lisa kleypas could write a romance book with a victorian choo choo boy who meets an explosives expert on a train held hostage by the whims of a mad man that cannot go below 55 knots
and then there's public libraries, who can put together a willy wonka program on probably $50 and a hope and a dream, and it still looks 1000% better than that paid experience in Glasgow
Example, 2023 Ostego Library:
I think the grocery workers who've been working in-person at their job since the beginning should be the ones to decide if/when we should ease up on masking/social distancing.
The fact you can basically jump feet first into any book in long standing romance series is a testament to the fucking talented romance writers out there.
Hey I have a family emergency. I'm not traveling anymore, and I can't really say why. We are all safe, I just need to be here for my kid.
I'm so sorry, and not okay at the moment. If you have time please just keep us in your warm thoughts.
I would just like to remind everyone about the time they gave libraries solar glasses to hand out before the eclipse. It was a disaster. For free fucking glasses to look at the sun. Libraries are not your solution to a public health crisis.
i really hate it when the main character has a SECRET and i the reader am being prevented from knowing what it is, while the main character is thinking about it in their head.
10yo sticking up for her friend when a boy tried to make her feel bad for "not liking him"..
10yo: I just told her what you told me mom. We don't have to like them and we aren't responsible for them feeling mad about it.
I would like every person who's saying to just breastfeed to be sent to the janitors closet I sat in to pump after only having six weeks of maternity leave. And where everyone could hear my pump.
the very very best news possible - I am FINE, everything is benign, I am clear to resume normal scans.
truly from the bottom of my crusty, salty heart, i thank you all for being with me through this all.
What I especially love about the doorway lean videos is it shows partners communicating and trying things. Being with someone with an open heart who will giggle with you and try for you? Priceless. Also very brave for all.
I'm so sorry to share my family's beloved Puff Ball passed today.
She was the most beloved guinea pig who brought light and love to my family since we adopted her in 2020. She inspired romance novel pets and was my best pal.
I'm not a guinea pig person I was a Puff Ball person
