As a writer, let me explain: For some characters, we have the brains and the balls to give them engaging conflict-opposing philosophy’s, genuine failures, moral flaws-but other times we refuse to imagine our character doing anything wrong in their lives so a miscommunication feels like (to some) the only way they and their lover could possibly endure conflict.

And even if you don't plan on frequenting the library, sign up for a library card anyway; it's free, you'll get access to the library's online resources (audiobooks, ebooks, movies, music, and more!) and it'll help the library get more government funding which they DESPERATELY NEED!

Yes to supporting libraries!! It's how I get most of my books before deciding if I like it and want to own copy. You can also usually make requests for them to purchase books or for an interlibrary loan for titles they don't already have

You should read Soul Catcher by E.L. Todd. I picked this book up from GTM so you know it’s a treasure lol. Her other books look like your run of the mill romances but this romantasy really captured my 17 year old heart. Though I absolutely hated the love triangle in the second book and haven’t read the third book because I’m scared to see who she ends up with. Maybe now that it’s been a few years I’ll like it. Anyway I think you’ll either like or love this book because 1- it’s not long. 2- the characters are usually pretty good 3- theres sex 4- there’s plot 5- it’s funny, they stuff leaves into wounds without preparing them as if that’s how medicine works and at one point the main character shoves leaves down the love interests throat.

Hearing you discuss Hooked again reminds me that I did read a book where a character has a romance with Hook that I really enjoyed - ‘Peter Darling’ by Austin Chant, where trans masc Peter Pan has a romance with Hook (it’s less dodgy than it sounds - I remember really enjoying it but I haven’t read it in a while so this is just me saying you reminded me to reread it haha). Anyways I’ll go back to watching the video again :)

Cindy!! I could give you a giant bear hug! I’ve never heard of Libby and haven’t utilized the library because I don’t read physical books due to hating carrying anything with me and reading while my child sleeps. I need to read possible comps for my work, but money is tight right now. Your recommendation made me go to the library yesterday, update my card, download Libby and another app they recommended, and now I have all the books I need for free and I get to help the library. Thank you so much!! Also, my ten year old wanted her own library card too, so I signed her up. She feels very mature now lol
