I just went back to read your review of The Flame and the Flower and laughed so hard I had tears. My mother LOVED Kathleen Woodiwiss. Seriously, she had every one of her novels. They were her vacation reading, so when I finally snuck-read one, I was all grossed out knowing what my parents were doing on vacation. I sadly read every one of them too even though I hated them all. I cannot read a "bodice ripper" to this day because of Woodiwiss' trash and what it conjures for me.

Uhg The Flame and the Flower was a trash fire. I got 25 pages in and was like, NOPE. That was a good article about romance novels, though.

Huh. I had never thought of it but that is a great idea about thanking journalists.

I’ve heard about the Sara Gruen thing, so weird! I’m generally not a fan of The Atlantic but I have to admit they’ve really stepped up their game and have been publishing lots of great stuff these last month which has changed my opinion of them.
