the mogul and the muscle by claire kingsley

THIS is part of what keeps me coming back to romance novels time and again, even though the HEA doesn’t always happen in reality, the struggles do, and the community does, even when it’s created on social media by authors and their admins. I appreciate a place where sharing what would otherwise be inappropriate (yes, there is NSFW content that comes up), and I adore the freedom folks feel to have vulnerable conversations. Yes darlings, we generally post the highlight reels, and that’s ok, but I also like a dose of reality. AND the posts of those groups are possibly the most real in my Facebook feed. That’s right, I am a (very inactive) part of four groups of readers who adore these authors of open door romance novels. I’m in that group and the groups of the Bluewater Billionaires authors. I didn’t really think about this until someone in The Lazy Genius Collective Facebook Group (yes, it’s connected to The Lazy Genius Podcast and The Lazy Genius Way) asked what other groups folks are in and why. In addition to finding community with you all, one of the places we’ve found a bookish community is on Facebook. I hope you’ve found some of that here and in our Virtual Book Club. Let’s be real, bookish people are the best, and we wanted to be a part of connecting those people together. We wanted to go further and invite others into the conversation, and share our conversations with the world as a means of sharing our love of books with other bookish people. One of the reasons we decided to start a book blog is that we love reading the same books and talking about them. This has nothing to do with the book, which will be coming to the blog (date TBD) and everything to do with what we are posting. I hope it sounds good to you too, and you’ll SIGN UP HERE and join us.ĭear readers, we’re making an editorial executive decision today and not posting about Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia as scheduled. Emily Henry’s Beach Read feels like the perfect book for this month with a bookish struggle, at the beach, and, with my favorite bookish people gathering to discuss it on Friday June 18th at 7:30pm Central Time, sounds like just the right medicine for my soul. When something sad happens, I want to escape into a book, or away with my favorite people.
