I’ve spent the past two weeks first moving and then unpacking and unpacking and unpacking. I have the bandwidth of a plinth and the patience of a nap-deprived toddler. I’d could us a good, easy laugh. What have you got? What’s the funniest romance you’ve ever read?

the ask@AAR: What’s your favorite STEM based romance?
Yesterday we reviewed–and loved–the latest by Ali Hazelwood who is one of the doyens of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) romance. I think she might be the first author I recall whose work was branded with that title but I’m not sure. STEM romances are also about the long standing and pervasive sexism women…

the ask@AAR: What’s your favorite book set in a foreign country?
Caroline’s fabulous blog–DIKS set in every state–got me thinking about romances I love that take place foreign locales. I’m ruling out England from the list because there are what seems like six million Regency romances set in Britain. The US is off the list too because the vast majority of contemporary romances we cover here…
Sophie Jordan: The RWA15 Interview
I interviewed Sophie Jordan at last year’s Romantic Times conference and what I remember most about the interview is how fast she said interesting things I was too slow to write down correctly. This time, I asked the questions and let her type the answers as she spoke them. The woman thinks a mile a…
