hello. hi. welcome. the name&#39;s beatrice, the game is reading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this is going to be a very casual, low-stakes blog and i&#39;ll just be putzing around here when the mood strikes. you can follow my various social media stuffeth if you like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
right now i like to read romance, especially historical romance, but my tastes do change. at one point i read only contemporary young adult fiction, at another point i read only #ownvoices literary fiction. clearly, i cannot promise to keep reading romance forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but, since i am reading hella romance right now, i thought i&#39;d kick off this site with 5 of my all-time favorite romances. the list is not exhaustive—instead i tried to pick titles that show the variety of weird shit i&#39;m into. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in no particular order:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Girl Like Her &lt;/i&gt;by Talia Hibbert&lt;/u&gt;: soft. so soft. chubby autistic black woman is unwillingly forced to be friends with her very sweet Captain America neighbor. she&#39;s abrasive, he bakes her lasagna [&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9Z6846/ref=x_gr_w_glide_bb?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=x_gr_w_glide_bb-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B07B9Z6846&amp;amp;SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2&quot;&gt;amazon&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44569978-a-girl-like-her&quot;&gt;goodreads&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
—&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Rogue by Night&lt;/i&gt; by Kelly Bowen&lt;/u&gt;: competence porn. competence. porn. okay? she&#39;s a hard-headed smuggler/surgeon; he&#39;s also a hard-headed smuggler/surgeon. they save the day, together! class differences, check. chemistry, check. [&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H2BPL8M/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0&quot;&gt;amazon&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31933397-a-rogue-by-night&quot;&gt;goodreads&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
— &lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dirty Laundry&lt;/i&gt; by Heidi Cullinan&lt;/u&gt;: an oldie but a goodie (recently re-released!) a top-notch portrayal of two people with wildly different backgrounds finding out that they fit together so well. both characters are neurodivergent and kinky. heart eyes forever. [&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MVLHMXQ/ref=x_gr_w_glide_bb?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=x_gr_w_glide_bb-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B07MVLHMXQ&amp;amp;SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2&quot;&gt;amazon&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43527040-dirty-laundry&quot;&gt;goodreads&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and there you have it. between these books, you can see, roughly, where my tastes are when it comes to romance fiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
