So happy that TrumpCare failed. So ready for America to take on healthcare and make it right.

Are you a public librarian who would like to expand your foreign language romance collection? Do you know one who might? Please help me find the floor of my bedroom once more!

I've got foreign editions and am eager to donate them to good library homes. Message me if you have one? Thanks!

LibrarianRyan I would love to but I am no longer in a public library that does fun stuff like that. We are boring gov docs and Lincoln history. 7y
MrBook Ooh! How would we get them here though? 7y

Sweet Ruin | Kresley Cole
post image
Pickpick

I regret nothing of my choice to blaze through the Immortals After Dark series (with a slight pause to revisit my favorite of her Game Maker series). Except for the part where now I'm done and have to wait for the next one like a sucker. (Sweet Ruin is my favorite.) #romantsy #osrbc #kresleycole #bookhangover

EloisaJames I think Magrieve is my favorite, if only because the conflict is so freaking huge! 7y

Mister Moneybags | Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward
post image

I have loved all of Keeland & Ward's books and I'm excited for this one because it has a catnip trope in it... The Secret Duke Hero. (Of course, its contemporary, so the hero is a secret millionaire, but it works for me no matter what the time period.) #romantsy

Froggy's Worst Playdate | Jonathan London
post image
Panpan

When all other boy frogs are away, Froggy goes on the "worst playdate ever" with a girl frog. They go to a girl movie (The Frog Prince). At the end, girl frog kisses boy frog & he is grossed out, then she eats his ice cream. He declares it "the worst playdate ever."

Me (resisting urge to wallbang a library book): I don't like that book.
3yo: Why don't you like that book?
Me: Gender stereotypes.

Read Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes instead. #kidlit

Wall of Winnipeg and Me | Mariana Zapata
post image
Pickpick

Literally the last romance fan on earth to read this one (the title turned me off for months)...but stayed up til 3am last night finishing it. It's been a long time since I've read a romance with such a slow burn. These two dance around each other for hundreds of pages (it's not a short book), until you're just as desperate for them to get together as they are. I do wish it had been dual POV, but that's my problem, not the book's. #romantsy

Lauren_reading I'm saving this for 2017 - it's been on my kindle forever! I'm so excited to read it though 8y
Lindsy Do you know of any similar reads? I feel like I've been looking for a 'read-a-like' for this one since I first read it. 8y
sarahmaclean @Lindsy What do you like about it? What's the thing you want to read alike? 8y
Lindsy @sarahmaclean I love the slow burn of course, but I think my favorite thing is that the Van's friendship with Aiden is given about as much attention as the romance. 8y
EloisaJames I absolutely loved the way the heroine flatly turned Aiden down. So satisfying!! 8y
