The Other Nightstand

Privacy & how this site works

Her reading record and my field notes stay separate

I write this site in the first-person husband voice. My wife's factual reading record is the anchor: her reading status and any comments she chose to share stay hers. I do not fill in a rating, reaction, mood, pace, trope, or opinion for her.

My field notes follow public reader conversations in romance, romantasy, and nearby genres. I use those conversations to see what keeps coming up, then summarize the useful distinctions in my own words. Publisher and author sources are used separately for book and edition facts.

Bookshop.org links are added only after I can identify the relevant physical edition. Ambiguous, changing, future, or otherwise unresolved editions stay unlinked until they can be checked.

I may earn a commission if you buy through these Bookshop.org links.

Send the page and the fact

If a title, author, edition, status, source, or other factual detail looks wrong, email theothernightstand@gmail.com with the page and the specific correction. You can also use the contact form.

What the contact form keeps

The form takes a name, an email, and a message so I can answer. That is all I keep.

No account. No comments. I do not sell addresses.

If you want a message gone, write theothernightstand@gmail.com and I will delete it.

X and Bookshop.org run on their own rules.
