043. Fantasy in Romance

Shelf Love

May 23, 2020

Fantasy in romance with romance novel experts LaQuette, Felicia Grossman, and Jessica Van Slooten. My guests interpreted this theme a bit differently than I thought they would, and it's a delight to see a common thread emerge in their book recommendations.

The Quarantine Romance Book Club is a 10-episode mini-series of short, casual conversations with romance experts.

Stay safe, stay calm, and keep reading romance.
