Topics related to love, romance, reading, not caring what people think about what
you're reading, letting your freak flag fly, things I think are cool or beautiful or sad, probably owls,
love, love, and more love.
The lede got my back up but it’s just the titles that are generated by a neural network. And given that it was given 20,000 Harlequin titles to chew on (though only the Presents line, one commenter notes), I don’t think there’s an insulted leg to stand on. (Nor do I think human romance novel title writers have any reason to be concerned about their jobs.)
Note the author names! Those might be my favorite part. I would real Metheryl Ann Stans’ “Sex Bells” in a hot second.
I’d even argue that romance readers are more versed in the ways of the world. Our knowledge of how shit the world is, and how rare it is that a human can love another human more than themselves is why we read romance. We KNOW that HEAs aren’t always real and that sometimes love isn’t true.
THAT’S WHY WE’RE READING BOOKS, WHERE IT’S NOT REAL AND THAT’S OKAY!
I haven’t done this since the blog was tiny tiny tiny. Now here we are, approaching 2000 followers!
I love you all! And I have a mission for you, should you choose to accept it:
REBLOG IF YOU LOVE ROMANCE NOVELS!
Last time we got SO many blogs shouting out their love for romance novels. There will (hopefully) be too many of you to post a “Roll Call” post this time, but keep an eye on the notes to find others like yourselves!
Shoutout to the Jane Austen heroines who were so poor that they could barely afford new dresses to go to the weekly balls at which they danced. Pass your hankies to the impoverished young women who only had one carriage. Shed a single tear for the destitute misses who could keep but two servants.
I would punch a bunny to be two servants poor.
I am no servants poor.
If I was in a Jane Austen novel, I would be the maid whose mistress was two servants poor.
See? This is a tailor-made proposal. Not some “big screen of basketball game nonsense. This person took into account his girlfriend’s pastimes and favourite things in the world, knew how close to the family she was and engineered the perfect engagement proposal, without a doubt managing to make sure this would please her (surely her mother and sisters would know).
This is how you do big gestures.
This is so awesome I can’t even.
Also, the look on her face as she came into the house. Hehehehehehe!
STILL THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER
Wow! So impressed with Mr.Darcy and the whole family! <3
