Ever watch an older movie and think “Hmm, that look and attitude on that character reminds me of someone.” And then an hour later it hits you: the girl at work who tried to bully you (really? We’re in our 30s. Ew) based her ENTIRE personality around this old movie character.
And then you almost pee your pants laughing because Coyote Ugly came out in 2000 and this bitch had been acting like Lil for the past 13 years* before we even met and from what you’ve heard 3rd hand fro old coworkers is she still hasn’t changed.
I’m dead.
*bullying happened in 2013/14. I know I’m old. Shut up.
I just read a 476 page book in 4 hours.
…… how?!?!
I have so many other things that I could spend that level of concentration on, like sewing all the things for my small business I’m trying to get off the ground, yet I spent from 10:48pm to 2:47am reading a 476 page romance novel about a billionaire who married a childhood friend because Grandpa CEO put a marriage clause in the succession contract. I’ve read like 6 of these plots, it was okay but not mind blowing… gobbled that right up for four fucking hours.
It took me 4 hours a few days ago to make 4 products for my shop. They’re not even that complicated!! Come on brain, prioritize!!
When you’ve read way too many paranormal/fantasy/shifter romance novels your brain gets a little twisted.
Hurriquake
When I heard of the impending Hurricane Hilary barreling down on us poor little desert dwelling Los Angelinos I was actually quite excited. I cleaned house, I pulled out all the comfy blankets, and I even gathered my favorite fall candles.
I had a plan.
It was going to rain and storm and be mass chaos outside and I was going to cocoon in my blankets, surrounded by the scent of fall leaves while I sip on my hot coffee in my new booknerd mug, and lose myself in a book. Or three. It was going to be awesome.
And it was. I had gathered my supplies, started the kettle for hot water AND THERE WAS A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE.
WHY IS THERE AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE????
And you know what the worst thing is? The entire time I was gathering "hurricane supplies" I kept having that worst case scenario thought that there's going to be an earthquake. My husband is out of town, my anxiety is on high, there's a once in a lifetime natural disaster that he's supposed to land at LAX in the middle of so I course my brain went to "let's add and earthquake to that while I loot my earthquake supply pile to make a hurricane supply pile.
.....shit. Did I manifest the earthquake? Sorry guys!

It’s INSANE to me how controversial romance novels are. Romance novels. Like, being openly a fan of them immediately opens you up to people constantly coming at you like “but don’t you think it’s ~limiting- and ~juvenile~ to have a genre of books with happy endings for women?”
Like.
No?
Why is it such a big deal to want to read stories where women have sex and then don’t die at the end? Jesus Christ.
Why is the concept of female characters being happy seen as less creative than female characters suffering? (Trust me, creating a world where women win in the end takes a lot more creativity and artistic vision lmfao)
Anyway, literary bros will pry my romance novels with their happy endings from my cold dead fingers.
Or die in the very beginning of the book. But no one calls out James Patterson for writing another formulaic thriller in which a woman is horrifically killed after getting laid and then some man solves her murder. Every. Damn. Time.
But hey, those romance novels where women get happy endings are so limiting, eh?
Real talk: realizing how common it is for female characters to be punished for on-the-page sex with death was a big part of my embracing the romance genre. Once I noticed it I couldn’t unnotice it. It’s everywhere. A woman having sex in literature or non-romance genre fiction is the literary equivalent of a red shirt on Star Trek.
It’s not just the sex thing, though that’s a key element. It’s that, in romance novels, the heroine gets to be cared for the way she normally would care for everyone else. It’s wish fulfillment in that her romantic partner will do emotional labor, spend a great deal of time thinking about her, or sacrifice his desires or fortune or reputation to be with her, or spend days nursing her back to health, or risking his life to save hers. In romance novels, you’ll find men taking care of children, talking about their feelings, putting effort into their appearance—even if they are adorably bad at it. Watch how many romance novel protagonists fall in love with a man who happens to be rich or handsome, but she didn’t give in until his behavior changed and he starts mentoring her, or providing for her, or being gentle toward her, nourishing her, listening to her, appreciating her… I suspect romance novels are looked down upon not for being juvenile formulaic “beach reads” but because they paint a fantasy world that leaves men feeling uncomfortable or even emasculated. But whether you’re a Midwest housewife or a big city CEO, women who read romance novels just want to read about men loving women the way women are expected love everyone else—with a nurturing and protective form of unswerving loyalty. Great sex they don’t have to die for is also a huge bonus, but the *romance* part of the novel is genuinely more about the woman being appreciated (for her beauty or spunk or intelligence at first, and then for all of her by the end).
“women who read romance novels just want to read about men loving women the way women are expected to love everyone else—with a nurturing and protective form of unswerving loyalty.”
THANK YOU.
According to the website smartbitchestrashybooks, which analyzes romance novels to a great degree, one common element of the average romance novel is what they call the grovel. That is, there’s a turning point near the climax of the book where the leading man says, in effect, “I hurt you. I had my reasons, but they don’t make it right. I am devastated that I hurt you, and I will do whatever it takes to make it okay again. Leaving you is completely on the table even though I find the prospect horrific.”
And that’s a very important fantasy. To have your feelings, your pain, be made so absolutely central to the narrative, to someone else’s world. You could call it a power fantasy, but I don’t think that’s exactly right. It’s a significance fantasy. A romance story is a story in which the woman is the most significant damn thing in the book.
And when you think of it like that, you realize why some people are really, really threatened by it.
I dislike most romance novels, simply because I’m not a fan of formulaic fiction, no matter the genre. If I want the comfort of a book I can predict the plot of that easily I’ll just reread one of my faves that I know well.
BUT! Romance novels, in all their glory and shame are incredibly important for ask reasons mentioned above. If someone truly has a problem with them the answer is quite simple - start making healthy, adult relationships that value the female characters as much as the males a common, standard thing in all genres. Then they won’t have to be segregated off as their own genre and can simply be.
Romance is about 1/5 of all fiction sales. It’s not a small niche genre; it’s larger than science fiction or mystery. And it’s mainly written by and for women.
Quick, name another genre of art that’s held in contempt despite being the most profitable for its creators:
(Thrillers just barely edge out romance sales overall - but romance authors earn more, because the demand for romance makes indie publishing a viable career.)
Romance is hated, not because it’s formulaic or clichéd or unrealistic (…do we need to talk about thrillers and war stories?), but because it’s by and for women. And the claim that romance is a minor genre, a niche of publishing for frivolous content, manages to keep itself going, despite bringing in more money than literary fiction and mysteries combined.
SPOILERS FOR ACOWAR AND CRESCENT CITY 2
This is from A Court of Wings and Ruin, an exchange between Azriel and Elain before the big bad battle.
But without context and a little imagination this could also be between Ruhn Danaan and Lidia Cervos. Light and dark, a bridge, and the sword that might be the partner to the other.
Coincidence?? Foreshadowing??? Discuss!!
the high king of elfhame: best known for leaving the fighting to his wife
Quote from A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas, from Feyre's point of view.
I’m a voracious reader on a good day. I recently went through some trauma and spent 4 months curled up with books, blasting through them day after day, sometimes going through two books a day, not speaking to anyone except when I had to.
I didn’t realize this is what I was doing, giving myself quiet company, something to fill my mind and time while I grieved, something to make me feel less alone.
Sounds like some of my favorite book(boyfriends)

Yay I can finally share these! You guys are the first to know about the ACOTAR travel postcards I designed that are officially licensed by SJM! 💙
This was literally such a fun project and I started this on my cross-country road trip and I cranked them out so fast. I loved every second of this and I do have a few more ideas for other places in the ACOTAR universe too.
Which one is your favorite? 😏
