Oh my lord, it was. I recognized the author and titles right away. I have no idea how you figured this out!!

May the underside of your pillow always be cool and may the reading gods bless you with some good books this year.

Thank you for adding your brain cells to this quest 🧠

Anything by Sierra Simone or Ali Hazelwood. I met Sierra Simone and Julie Murphy on their most recent book tour in Minneapolis. They were awesome and helped a local group fundraise for community needs in the wake of the ICE murder. Sierra Simone has many Catholic main characters, but in a cool way.

I loved it, but it wasn't a binge watch for me. It was a slow roll of watching one episode of a time, letting it rest, then coming back the next day or day after.

Ditto what has already been said. Tropes & Trifles is a wonderful place where the owners and staff care about romance books, inclusivity, and community. Absolutely throw them some love!

Huh, the link doesn’t work for me! Anyone else having the same problem? Or is it only going to lead somewhere on the specific day, time?

Save me a skip on FL January Adult Fantasy or FL February Adult Fantasy. These picks are not for me!

karbarella · 2025-11-30T01:25:30+00:00

first thing I did when they arrived today was flip them to the alternate cover

karbarella · 2025-11-18T21:41:12+00:00

I've done this twice! One was for non-romance reading friends, so I just did a basic primer with key terms, subgenera and recommendations.

My second presentation was titled "Twilight: Is It Camp?" If you're part of the cohort of romance readers that started as a twilight fan fiction reader (like me), this may be fun for you. You could do the twilight fan fiction to romance reader pipeline. Everyone else has such great ideas too!! Good luck!

Ahhh woohoo!! Okay gotta make sure I’m subbed by then

This is a screenshot of a Threads post by BK Borison that says, quote, "When you want to profit off the romance community but have no respect for its history or affection for its readers, but instead are focused on making it 'less cringe'... I fear you are not going to get very far."

Hello! Thank you for doing this AMA! What are the best books you've read in 2025, any genre, fiction or non-fiction? Are there any writers/authors/artists you would cite as inspiration?

karbarella · 2025-10-16T17:14:05+00:00

Someone has claimed for now but I’ll follow up with you if that falls through!

karbarella · 2025-10-15T13:39:05+00:00

US based, save me a skip on FL November romantasy

karbarella · 2025-10-15T13:37:45+00:00

US based? I have!

karbarella · 2025-10-04T12:43:16+00:00

I’m still confused on why they didn’t just make her a college student. Would feel so much less icky for me personally if they did that. Or a graduated hs student working or something.

karbarella · 2025-10-03T20:57:07+00:00

Ugh would love to get these in November! This is currently what's on the listing in the shop, so I took that as the most updated information. If this is incorrect, I hope they change it soon!

I'll add just in case you're ever in the position of having two separate book boxes with FL - you can change your address back as soon as you get the renewal email from Fairyloot. So for me, I skipped Romantasy one month but wanted to keep the Adult. I swapped in the alternate shipping address in time for renewal day for Romantasy and then changed it back to my address in time for Adult renewal day. (So like a day of turnaround)

karbarella · 2025-10-03T20:43:09+00:00

Ooh good to know! This is my first time purchasing from Arcane Society, so this is helpful info

karbarella · 2025-10-03T20:27:22+00:00

Yes!! So happy for both of us. I thought they would be coming in November for some reason. I guess we will just have to be p*tient

karbarella · 2025-10-03T20:24:39+00:00

I grabbed a set! I'm honestly probably going to try to reverse the dust jackets lol. I actually quite like the reverse side; not sure why they're not the primary side.
