#FallIntoRomBingo Recs: Part One
So Jenica and I didn’t totally plan through our reading bingo board, otherwise I would have had recommendation posts up and ready to go much earlier! But considering I don’t think anyone participating actually plans to stick to their TBR (if they even made one), I figure it’s still helpful to share some recommendations to help get your bingo on.

Row Two: somewhere you’ve never been, hockey romance, older heroine, librarian/bookseller MC, banter
Row Three: new to you author, royalty, HEA, series following a big family, crafts or puzzles
Row Four: a beautiful outfit, grumpy & sunshine, STEM heroine, twitter rec, rainy
Row Five: punny title, quintessential fall activity, pet(s), plus-sized heroine on the cover, romance author writing in a different genre

And then Jenica’s sister got involved and illustrated it, and the final product is just so cool!! Continue reading

Authors I Own the Most Books By
There was a tweet making the rounds earlier this week asking what author people own the most books by, and of course I couldn’t just straight up answer the question and move on. I wanted to get technical and talk about all of the authors I own a lot of books by! So I figured I’d turn this into its own blog post. Continue reading
