    Libraries and bookshops recs in Bristol (UK)

    Hi everyone! I'll be studying in Bristol for a year starting in September and I don't know England (much less Bristol) at all, seeing as I've always lived in France. Does anyone have advice on where to buy or borrow books there? I love all kinds of fantasy, romance, YA, sci-fi and sometimes thriller books! I'd be happy connect if anyone else is there for next year :)

  • Unmaking of Historical Romance (Bookriot)

    Bookriot has written an in depth article about the declining sales of historical romance with quotes from many well-known HR authors, like Mimi Matthews, Sarah Maclean, Joanna Shupe and Liana de la Rosa. I am a huge fan of historical romance and this trend of established HR authors being pushed into other genres by publishers makes me very sad. I also learned from this article that the mass market paperback is officially dead per the end of 2025. I knew this was happening (even Harlequins shifted to a larger format), but this also makes me very, very sad. I adore my large collection of mass market historical romances. Are you still reading HR? Article link: https://bookriot.com/unmaking-of-the-historical-romance-genre/
