A free Kindle ebook today that seems to be based on C,F,M - gone Terribly Real...
I "bought" it pretty much just based off of that.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Speaking of Regency romance, I just finished Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamour in Glass and really enjoyed it! The first book was a little too romance-focused for me (it was basically Pride and Prejudice, after all), but I like that the rest of the series seems to be focused on what happens after the traditional Happily Ever After: a married couple has adventures! With magic! And, on-topic, the sex scenes are not steamy but cheekily implied.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It seemed like I read a lot of 70's/ 80's romance novels where the main woman had more than one husband/lover, if not more than on "true love". Skye O'Malley comes to mind.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Speaking of Regency romance, I just finished Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamour in Glass and really enjoyed it! The first book was a little too romance-focused for me (it was basically Pride and Prejudice, after all),
I'm reading the first one right now! They just went to the ball.
but I like that the rest of the series seems to be focused on what happens after the traditional Happily Ever After:
Spoiler! (No, I kid; it's pretty obvious what the outcome will be. The fun is in seeing how it plays out.) (I assume all-naked, all-gay, right?)

I am really looking forward to the fourth book, which she describes as "Ocean's Eleven in Venice." THERE IS INDEED A GONDOLA CHASE.
Also every book includes a Doctor cameo.

They're not overt, but any time a doctor appears in the story, he is dressed like one of the Doctors. Eleven is in the fourth book, bow tie and all.

I did not catch the doctor cameos! Possibly because I have never watched doctor who. But I am exited to hear about a 4 th book.

It comes out next week! And then there's one more book left in this first cycle. She's doing three five-book cycles at different points in their lives (middle age and elderly, I think). That's the plan, anyway.

A lot of the great 80s Regency authors are re-published in large print editions, for the grandma market I guess. I can find them at my library. I mean, when I'm a grandma I don't expect I'll have given up my taste for reading explicit sex scenes, but since I also like witty banter I am glad that both are available.
(I am amused at the perennial feeling that older people must be somehow old-fashioned. My mother is a grandmother, and she was at Woodstock, people! She knows all the cuss words and has had lots of sex in various decades.)
