A Man for Mrs. Claus book cover. Two black people smooching under the mistletoe. imagine Winston Duke is a firefighter and he's making out with Precious Lee who is Mrs. Claus with a bob.

Running the North Pole and making good on the promise of comfort and joy for a few billion people is no simple two-step around the Christmas tree. Mr. and Mrs. Claus have always worked in tandem to do just that. So when her third husband realizes it’s time to peace out and move on to more Heavenly pastures, the angels and all the elves know what time it is. They need to find Tiffany Saint-Nicholas a new man.

With the holiday calendar slowing down for no one, her team has three days to find her a new Santa. Someone kind, loving and willing to take on the spirit of the season, and with the potential to be Tiffany’s first true love match. Tiffany thinks that idea is cute and all, and so are the men they line up for her. But she knows delivering on their Christmas obligations is what really matters, not

Very weird to hear booktok crying about “but how will you find unique books?!” When all booktok ever did was promote the same 10 books by the same white authors over and over again. And yes there were diverse booktokers but the amount of booktokers who talked about the same white books is 10xs.

#nowreading Georgia K. Boone’s I’ll Be Gone For Christmas. Loving ‘The Holiday’ inspired plot plus a chicken named Bennie and a dog named Cleo! #romancelandia
The cover of Georgia K. Boone’s I’ll Be Gone For Christmas shows two Black women, one sitting on a chair by a lit fireplace and the other carrying shopping bags and coffee.

Another “best of” #romancelandia books list but doesn’t have any Latinx romance. If I’m tired, can you image how the authors feel!? And the last two articles share one thing in common and I’ll let you guess what it is.

If any of you reader people are looking for Black Friday book deals, consider indie authors. A lot of us are having sales right now. And buying our books directly from us is always better than buying them from Amazon.

A reminder: If you're visiting loved ones over the holidays, and you notice that someone has lost or gained weight or is eating more or less than usual, that's great. Excellent observation skills on your part. Now--and here's the crucial part--keep your mouth shut and mind your own damn business!

She tells this man, “if you feel it, you should chase it,” and he goes into the airport after her! She even said the quintessential romance line,“it’s gorgeous” (about a tornado) and he looks right at her (I know). This is why we need more women as screenwriters and directors.

I’m watching Twisters and I know the leads don’t kiss, BUT - they’re saying the same things about tornadoes - he keeps initiating conversations with her - they have a rivals-to-lovers chemistry C’mon!

If you love a book by a Black author: keep talking about it! Tell people why you love, mention the characters, recommend it to all your friends! So many books I feel like I mention often and then I come across someone new who hasn't heard about it.

Now listening/reading The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei. The narrator sounded familiar, and it’s the same person who narrated Yulin Kuang’s How To End a Love Story! — Katharine Chin! One of my fave reads from earlier this year. #booksky
The cover of The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei shows tentacles emerging from a red opening in space.

Now reading Church Girl by Naima Simone. I hope this is the start of a series because the tattooed, “bad girl” cousin Tamara deserves her own book! Pub. date is Nov. 26. #booksky #romancelandia
The cover of Church Girl by Naima Simone shows a man and woman with dark brown skin hugging each other.
