After starting and loving the show I could no longer resist the lure of the audiobooks on hoopla despite the horrendous covers and whaaaaaat have I done because Kip’s voice???? May be the worst accent of all time. If you can even call it that? I can’t even tell what it’s going for, I just hate it so much. Will be taking this in small chunks if I finish at all. I’m scared.

(Disclaimer: I'm in no downplaying or talking crap about any romance sub genres. I mostly read romances (main ones are dark romances and romantic comedies), so I'm not saying any sub genres is better or worse than the other. This is just something that popped up in my mind)

So, I watched a video on book hot takes and one of the opinions were that romance genres sometimes perpetuate misogyny, which lead to me thinking about the type of romances that I enjoy and how toxic behaviors are shown in these books along with misogyny.

I recently discovered that I'm less likely to be upset with toxicity in dark romances where I'm expecting the morally grey/black characters to be toxic and the book makes them a little more of a better person. Even if they don't change much and keep their toxic traits. Compared to romantic comedies, where the main couple is supposed to be seen a morally good but when they show their toxic traits (that I personally have a problem with) and it don't get addressed or they don't grow from it, I'm left with an icky feeling.

Anyone feel the same or different opinion? Feel free to share. I hope I making any type sense with this 😅

Im legit want to crawl into this goddamn book

Would you guys rather see this book play out in a show or a movie? (I’m team show with each episode being 1 husband [possibly 2 episodes for lengthier sections] with a final episode following Monique)

Who are y’all’s top fancasts for the iconic characters?

hey friends! a few of us discussed doing a buddy read for the starving saints in feb but i have completely lost the post where we decided on it, so i just wanted to chuck that here in case anyone is keen to join! (and for those who are already interested - when in feb works for you?)

EDIT: yay glad so many of us are keen! let’s loosely say february (starting on the 1st) so people can read any time during the month - there are lots of other readalongs so that should hopefully allow for some wiggle room!

Ok so I know in multiple quests and lists only the first book of a series is added and I do this personally in my shelves for declutterring purposes, however I was wondering if in a list specifically, if multiple or all the books in a series fit into whatever the list is about, would you add all of them or just the first one? I want to hear people’s opinions from both making and viewing lists, if there is a general preferred or accepted way to do it or if it just depends?
