there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

Seriously guys, enjoy books however you like - ebook, print, or audio. It's all good with me. And I know I'm not alone in saying this. If anything, I'd the only time you're going to hear most authors say otherwise is if they're in the middle of a rights dispute with a scummy publisher.

An unrelated to reading specificly goal for 2026 is to do less nothing. That's not saying to relax less, but to stop filling gaps with endless social media scrolls when something else of value could be done (LIKE reading). Its a hard goal. 😭

I gotta ask, what is your go to movie when you're having a tough time? Mine is Descendants (1 or 2 tbh). Nostalgia can fix just about anything for me.

You want to know the true tell of how sick you are? If you're sitting around missing the ability to help properly clean around the house that's how you know you're medically whacked. 😩 Tf you mean the most I can do is pick up some trash and sweep before I'm about to pass out?

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

I read 5 books this year. Only 5. Should I feel bad about that? Absolutely not, because I still read despite everything. I share this mainly for others who feel they didn't do enough reading. You did. I did. Be proud. #booksky
