AID REQUEST: a local friend left an abusive marriage to protect her non-binary child from an unsafe situation. They were doing their best but got side-swiped & are now 3 months behind on rent.

#SundaySnippet Hallmark Christmas Movie Vibes + Gen X + Spice!
I'm not ashamed to say I love the cozy comfort of Hallmark Christmas movies. What's not to love about a close-knit small town during the holidays? About that feeling that, at long last, you've found your true home? My only complaint: Where's the spice? One chaste kiss isn't gonna do it for me. If you can relate, you'll love The Billionaire's Christmas Castle…

one of the ways you know that people still hate romance is when you read the obituaries of blockbuster authors of the genre, they always make sure to talk about how absolutely shit the books are.

Many a non-romancelandia bookseller is going to stash these in YA (shades of IPB recovering). Which raises an important question:
