305. More from RT 2018: There Are Some Books Around Here, and Some Creepy Dolls




Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: Reviews, Interviews, and Discussion About All the Romance Novels You Love to Read show

Summary: It’s time for part two of my recordings from Romantic Times 2018. We’re chatting about RT while we were still there over lunch and wine - ah, the delays of extensive editing. We have several meandering conversations - and some bits you may have heard in our live show, too. We talk about books, our pets, books, publisher news at RT, and random other things. We cover why the hitman plot works for Elyse but not for Sarah, and why Elyse thinks m/m spy and adventure stories are popular. I ask Amanda and Elyse, who are younger than I am, about their impressions and understanding of category romance. We talk about gothic, horror, and suspense - though keep in mind, I’m as full of crap as anyone when it comes to discussing trends. And of course, we talk about what was with the doll in Amanda’s mom’s walk in closet.
