#It's one of my favorites from Passionflix for sure

I JUST WATCHED "WAIT WITH ME" AND I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT IT 🗣🗣🗣

[e-antoinette-reading]

Can you believe that today is the day and we finally get more Colton & Rylee on our screens?? Who has watched already? What did you think? If you haven’t signed up for Passionflix yet, you’re missing out! They (and the authors they work with) get all the credit for bringing our favorite romance novels to life! ❤️ : : : What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep? Colton stole my heart. He wasn't supposed to, and I sure as hell didn't want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist. Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don't think I'll ever be the same. She's seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she's still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner. How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep? He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won't let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far. How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there's someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I'd never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I'll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can't be what she needs, so why can't I just let her go? We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love? https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpPb6loKyI/?utm_medium=tumblr

She is the only hope for the people of the land. She’ll be the one to save them from the rule of Sateen but working for Sateen while trying to take her down is proving to be more difficult than he imagined.

Bookish Thoughts: Full Book Lists Wanted, The Ripped Bodice is Accepting Patrons, Passionflix, Series Reading and #ShallowReaderBingo

Wanted: Full book lists on author websites

Authors, please include a full list of your works, including short stories, on your website. I'm the type of person who likes to read a series (especially long ones) in order, including novellas. If I can't find the information on your website, I'm going to be pretty annoyed. As an example, I'm going to use Ilona Andrews. On the Kate Daniels page, it lists only the full length novels. However, there is a link to the full list, including anthologies.

Clicking the Small Magics anthology link takes me to a full page list of the stories set in the world, including all short stories and where they fall in the line-up.

Authors, seriously. I need this in my life. Please, if you haven't already, go update your book lists.Keri Arthur, I'm looking at you. The title of your novella and what anthology it's available in would also be much appreciated!

The Ripped Bodice (the only exclusively romance bookstore in the Northern Hemisphere) is now accepting Patrons

From their latest newsletter:

Today we're taking a new step that we hope will help us to continue to grow and thrive for years to come.Many members of the romance community have expressed a desire to support The Ripped Bodice from afar.

We're excited to announce that we've launched aPatreon, and you can become an officialPatron of the Ripped Bodice.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I think it's great for those who want to support them but don't live close enough to do so in person (I live in SoCal, but the 2.5 hour drive makes it hard to get down there on the reg). On the other hand, why offer a crowd funding service instead of pushing their online bookstore? Unless this is a way to help offset the cost of author and reader events at the store? That would make sense. Anyway, here's the info:

Why become a Patron?

Our page has detailed information about giving levels and some of the fun and exciting things you'll receive every month. While we will never stop communicating and sharing the goings on at the store with the internet at large, some of our behind the scenes tomfoolery will be moved over to the Patreon and be available just for our patrons.

For the first month of our Patreon, all our new Patrons will get 10% off our fly new gear! Discount code only available till 9/5/17 (code comes in your thank you email) You can check it outhere!

You can donate $3, $5 or $20 (or more!) per month for various offers and discounts from The Ripped Bodice. Check out the Patreon site for details. There's a Sherry Thomas short story being offered for new members, thanks to Berkley and the author!

Series Reading When is it Time To Say Goodbye?

While putting together a list of books I'm looking forward to in September, I started thinking about long-running series. Specifically J.D. Robb's In Death series (currently at 45 books) and Hannah Howell's Murray Family series (21 books). I had to stop reading the Murray Family series because I felt like each book was the same, so I'm not quite sure how it ended (or if it did). I'm behind about 10 books in the In Death series, but I wonder if it's becoming stale (for the record, I'm not suggesting it is, as I'm so far behind, just wondering how long she can sustain it).

At what point should a series end? When the author is tired of it? When it stops selling well? Obviously, there's no right answer to that question since each series and author is different, but how do you feel about open-ended series?
