It's time for a little #bookreviewer rant. Another

It's time for a little #bookreviewer rant. Another one. Marketing a book the right way and to the right audience is such an important part of a readers' experience. Over the last few years I've seen women's fiction and chic lit being marketed as romcom. And that's great, there's probably quite a bit of crossover and a good chance a romance reader will enjoy one of those genres if there's a satisfying enough HEA. Certainly not all romance readers, though.⁠
.⁠
See with women's fiction and chic lit is more about the journey the characters go on. Whether is a serious or funny one. The focus isn't on the main couple or the romance, even if there is one. As a reader of all those genres, you need to go into a book with the right mindset and expectations. ⁠
.⁠
It's such a disservice to a book when a reader expects a #romcom and ends up getting one of the other two. Not because the book isn't good but because that's not what you thought you were getting. ⁠
.⁠
I know it's tempting to slap a popular style cover to appeal to a wide market and categorize the book a certain way for sales, but think of the after effects. If readers are let down with the experience, they may not pick up another one.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
All that to say, I enjoyed ROSALINE PALMER TAKES THE CAKE by Alexis Hall. But it's certainly a fun "chic lit" with a bisexual lead character who is on a journey of self discovery and then a small side of romance. In fact, if you go into this with the romance book mentality you'll be immediately ticked off because there's a love triangle and the heroine does sleep with someone other than the hero. But if you have the right mindset when you pick it up, it'll be a great experience! I was fortunate that I was able to switch gears quickly and it didn't take away from having fun listening to this #audiobook (which I certainly recommend). Rosaline isn't perfect and I actually really liked that. She's made mistakes, many in fact, she's not a perfect person now and she's still trying to get a handle on her life. But she's trying her best to be a good mom and her daughter is adorable.⁠

Fun fact about this photo. My next door neighbor's balcony is overrun by bees at the moment that have made a nice home inside the wall, so I was trying to duck the stray bees while taking this. #diditforthegram⁠

Sixteen years ago he lost everything. He made a vow to never love again. But suddenly everyone in his life is acting like a matchmaker. He can’t help but wonder if a broken vow is better than a broken heart.⁠

⁠💬 What's your favorite paranormal creature to read about? How about the one you wish you read more of?⁠
.⁠
I wish I read more dragons and I love feline shifters. ;)⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Speaking of dragons FURY OF PERSUASION by Coreene Callahan is out now. Our review is up on the blog. And if you haven't started reading Ms. Callahan's books, you've got lots of goodness to check out then.⁠
.⁠
"...sexy, fast-paced, and action-packed. You just can’t go wrong with sexy dragons. While this is a quick and enjoyable read, I do recommend reading the previous books for a better reading experience."⁠

Happy Release Day! As usual, lots of amazing book

Happy Release Day! As usual, lots of amazing books are out today and this week. You can find a recap over on our Facebook page.⁠
.⁠
I'm excited about MILLION DOLLAR DEMON by Kim Harrison being out. I didn't read AMERICAN DEMON last year and I plan on rectifying that shortly so I can read this next release.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Also, some fun reviews on the blog today, including VERY SINCERELY YOURS by Kerry Winfrey.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
"Kerry Winfrey has a feel-good writing style that instantly makes you feel like you’re reading a quirky fairytale story, while still somehow being completely relatable. I definitely recommend Very Sincerely Yours for anyone wanting that heartwarming story about finding your life’s passion (or maybe just your current passion) and building relationships along the way." ⁠

@authorhalle announced that she is writing a rom-com and I am so excited for a new book from her! I’ve read 7 of Karina’s books (only one is in this picture) and I think A Nordic King is my favorite, though The Forbidden Man is a close second. She writes so many different types of romances and I love them all! I can’t wait to read more of her books and her upcoming release! What’s your favorite Karina Halle book? .

Who is an author you go to who you know will pack an emotional punch with their books? For me, one of them is definitely @bcherryauthor! I absolutely LOVED The Gravity of Us and have heard nothing but amazing things about these two books! I’m hoping to get to them soon! .

During this time, I have found that I have been craving some fun, light contemporary romances to lose myself in. After reading a ton of fantasy, I’ve read three romances in a row and I want to read them all! I love @j3nn_benn and know that her books will deliver the adorable contemporary romance I’ve been craving. I am so excited for her new book, Chasing Lucky, and love how the main character moves back to her home town with her mom to run the family bookstore. She ends up having a romance with the town’s “bad boy” who was her childhood best friend. This has all of the things I love and I cannot wait to read it! .

Do you read your favorite authors no matter what genre they write in? Wolfsong by @tjklunebooks is one of my favorite books of all time. When I saw The House in the Cerulean Sea was being released, I had to order a copy, even though I’ve only read TJ Klune’s paranormal romance. This is a whimsical YA fantasy and I cannot wait to see what TJ Klune can do in this genre! .
