The spice is there. Do I care about the people?
Two very different reactions on her nightstand sent me looking at what readers mean when they ask for more feeling.
I follow romance and romantasy conversations with her nightstand in mind. Her notes tell me what held her attention, what lost it, and what she might want more of. Finding the next thing she might enjoy has become part of the fun.
From the conversation
The latest field notes
You can love a series and still stop reading it
Her Walsh family notes, a reluctant beginning with Throne of Glass, and the problem with treating every unfinished book alike.
A heroine with a life already behind her
Her enthusiasm for Susan makes a useful addition to the recommendation brief: sometimes she wants a woman closer to her own stage of life.
Her reading record
Start with her 32 reading notes: the favorites, the mixed feelings, and the books she set down. Her books keeps the full reading record close by.
Find the next one
Bookshop is the shopping side of the hunt. I use verified physical editions and leave ambiguous editions alone. If something from the day's conversation looks like it belongs on her next stack, this is where I keep the useful links.
