[#]WhatchaReading? I finished It Takes a Thief by Anne Stuart and even though it needed a good editing, -- far too much repetitious internal dialogue -- I still enjoy her storytelling. Some great pining.

Reps who don't have voicemail/answering machines should have to pay a fine for not being available to their constituents. 😡

[#]TopicOfTheDay What genres do you love besides romance?

I read in a lot of different areas but I don't think there's anything that I embrace so thoroughly. I'll read a particular mystery or thriller author without being particularly interested in the genre overall.

Came across this on GoodReads and find it so depressing.

"Did someone say Heartstopper meets The Haunting Of Hill House? MY TWO FAVORITE SHOWS!?!?!?!"

Honest talk: I'm not loving the ratio of promo to book discussion in our instance. Any thoughts of how we can make the space more inviting to reader discussion? (I'm not talking about personal messages or writing discussion, those are specifically welcome.)

Is anyone in touch with Rose Lerner? I think she'd love the imaginary books exhibit.

[#]WhatchaReading ? I'm in another recent Anne Stuart, It Takes a Thief. Liking this historical much more than Return to Mariposa, but both have the same continuity issue. 🤔

Also listening to Better Left Unsent by Lia Louis, which is a bit of a downer but in awesome British accents. ;-) Really tired of contemporary romance characters who have no concept of personal responsibility though.

OFFS!

Was just researching heated mattress pads for my mom and found one that requires a SUBSCRIPTION!

I hate it here.

[#]WhatchaReading ? It's damn hard to enjoy billionaire romance these days, but Most Eligible Billionaire by Annika Martin is so engaging, I got through. And he is a very good billionaire, who likes to craft and treats everyone like family and uses reclaimed wood, which I guess makes up for all the private jets? Anyway, in the realm of fantasy it was a fun read, with lively, sparkling characters and believable relationship development.

I updated my #TBRChallenge DNF review of Here We Go Again to talk about something I liked. (Queer insistence as @NathanBurgoine put it.)

"He had an urge to return to Bogota. It was fascinating to him, the idea that all the things his parents had escaped were now here, and all the things they wanted for their kids were now there. Random gun violence, political unrest, supply chain issues--those were now America, Marriage equality, socialized medicine, and reproductive choice--those were all Colombian." -- Steven Rowley, The Celebrants
