That Was Pretty Feelsy
Jess and Trisha announce the next WIR book club pick, talk about romance authors who write in multiple subgenres, and discuss how to fill the gap when your favorite author stops writing romance – or just does it a bit more slowly than you might like.
This episode is sponsored by Mischief Media, Book Riot’s Read This Book giveaway, and Book Riot’s TBR subscription service.
