Hello there!
Looking for a great read this weekend?
This incredible list of diverse reads was originally prepared for the RT BookLovers Convention 2017 Librarians and Booksellers by the amazing Frannie Strober Cassano, who has one of the coolest jobs in the world. She is an adult reference and romance librarian. Talk about a dream job…for me!
Frannie first stumbled into the romance section of her local drugstore as a teen, and then found herself back there during the Fifty Shades of Grey “phenomenon”. You can find her gleefully discussing book boyfriends, tropes, and Happily Ever Afters over at her Reference Desk or on Twitter. I’m so grateful that she’s allowed me to share her amazing list with you.
So, without further delay, here’s Frannie’s list:
If you love Eloisa James’s When Beauty Tamed the Beast, then you’ll love Suleikha Snyder’s Bollywood and the Beast (Here’s why: Fairy Tale)
