I know she is 17, I know she’s made some questionable choices. And I know a lot of you hate her for a variety of reasons. But the booing at her introducing HER BROTHER-IN-LAW and people calling her fat? She’s going through something very few people have experienced on such a public stage and based on her interviews,…

“I’m not like, ‘Then I use this masque that I make on my stove.’”

The things I liked about Austen were often stylistic. Like, the fact that her characters are almost completely revealed through dialog and factual exposition. No descriptions of rooms or furniture or even physical characteristics. No description of the context of many of the conversations. No bullshit, no filler. The…

I was just saying to Kelly - I always thought I would dig historical bc I’m such a huge Austen fan. But when I wasn’t, I felt like “Whelp - guess romance novels just aren’t my thing after all!” Now my curiosity is DEFINITELY piqued!

Depends on how dark you like it, but if it’s still predominantly romance, look at Annabel Joseph. You know it’s dark, but love is still at the core of the books, both her stand-alone books and series.

I feel like I have an in into romance novels! I'm home, romance novel crowd!

have any recs where the woman does the raping?

2001 A Space Odyssey counts, right?

It is my firm belief that there is at least one romance novel for pretty much everybody.

Yeah, I didn’t think there was for me either. I’m pumped to hear about Dark Romance, I’m going to look into this stuff.
(And mayyybeee get it on Kindle instead of as a real book, since reading this stuff is a little embarrassing.)

WOAH.

Is this actually commonplace? My best friend is in med school and for stuff like this (basically anything involving genitalia men or women) they have paid volunteers. Like people who literally get paid to be test subjects for them.

This whole thing is horrifying, but what the holy hell is happening with this sentence in particular?

Before anyone gets too nostalgic and deems this a fantastic thing, REMIND YOURSELVES HOW AWFUL IT WAS. Having to hike your pants up mid-standing up because the back of them were somewhere mid ass cheek, the constant checking to see if your undies were peeking out, the inevitable 500 tugs on them per hour because those…
