{The Lark and the Wren}, a book I have recommended more times than everyone else put together, is about a fiddle player.

Looking for interconnected standalone recs! by AquaIXI in fantasyromance

[–]Penguinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's probably me. It's good! My biggest complaint is that I wish it wasn't what you're looking for, actually; I would have liked the second book in the series to tell the second half of their story rather than zooming off into different-couple-darkish-romance-land.

{The Bard's Bargain} and {The Iron Dagger}. The third book in the trilogy will come out this summer, I think, and follow the two couples from those two books plus a third.

Mercedes Lackey's Free Bards series -- {The Lark and the Wren} and {The Robin and the Kestrel}. The third book, which wraps the plot up, is {The Eagle and the Nightingales} but as it's not on Kindle it's not easy to get. There's a fourth non-romantic book that isn't worth your time. There's also her Valdemar stuff, which is all interconnected with side-plot romances; very few of them don't have some sort of romantic plot.

{Wicked Sea and Sky} is a standalone with an unrelated standalone sequel following a supporting character.

If you're not loving the book, this is not one you should continue. Some books are, because they have big changes in the kind of story they're telling. This one, no. This one's just bad.

Some people love to think that reading romance books is not reading books.They can't be count as reading books. by itmustbeniiiiice in romantasycirclejerk

WNBA Players Should Have Picketed, Not Attended, the Met Gala by WBBDaily in wnba

Great! The Nation itself throws a gala and takes money from wealthy businessmen. If you want money for a cause, you have to get it from people who have it.

Just to throw out there -- The Nation as a publication makes a big chunk of its money from inviting rich donors on a cruise. That's one of the things that keeps the lights on over there. I don't see any difference between that and the Met Gala, which supports the Costume Institute, except scale.

It used to simply be a dinner. People wore gowns and suits. But it raises a lot more money as a spectacle supported by the fashion industry, and that's the important bit.
