An Offer from a Gentleman Lp: Bridgerton

Julia Quinn
ella dawsonella dawson

Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books were written in the early 2000s, which doesn’t excuse their misogyny but puts it in context for the larger romance genre. You don’t see this kind of casual violence as often in Regency romances published today. The genre is changing.

Julia Quinn

I found a good example of how STI stigma pops up all the time in romance novels. This is from Julia Quinn’s When He Was Wicked, Bridgerton Book 6. https://t.co/iYmDpYGKk4

How to Sell a Haunted House

@JenReadsRomance @grady_hendrix I recommend "My Best Friend's Exorcism" and the "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" if you like How To Sell a Haunted House! They're all ~spooky nonsense happens to women in the suburbs who have other responsibilities they need to deal with~ stories.

@_megconley @blgtylr Emily Henry's romances are both heavy and charming if you haven't read her work yet! Beach Read is still my favorite.
