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."
YES PLEASE!
FTR I am reading my first Stephanie Bond. My previous murder mysteries have tended toward more dark and disturbing/gritty than light, but I seem to only manage light right now. Reading Romance and listening to audiobooks for anything deeper/tougher.
Msbelle, on that note I highly recommend Red White and Royal blue. Alternate universe where a woman was elected, and her son falls for the prince harry equivalent.
The series is Mad for Mod by Diane Vallere, first book is Pillow Stalk
Insent, msbelle
thank you!
Apparently Shonda Rhimes is adapting several Bridgerton novels (a well-known romance novel series by Julia Quinn) for Netflix with a multiracial cast: [link]
I've read maybe 3 of the books? I remember really liking the one with Colin and Penelope in particular. Anyway, color me psyched!
I've seen Quinn posting about this, and between this and the Leigh Bardugo universe coming to Netflix, I am over the moon.
That sounds awesome!
I think I recall Courtney Milan posting about this, saying that Quinn was one of her favorite authors and that she's totally there for the multiracial casting. And Milan's casting shade on people who are willing to believe in dozens of single, ripped Dukes willing to marry penniless wallflowers, but who can't suspend disbelief for multiracial aristos. Which existed in reality, probably more so than dukes who looked like one of Marvel's Chrises marrying women like, say, me.
Don't Monaco and Sweden pretty much have the market cornered on hot European royals? If someone's making up new highly attractive nobility, they might as well be the product of interracial marriages with outsiders, 'cause I don't see many models resulting from Windsor or Habsburg cousins marrying.
