April WrapUp•

Another month of reading knocked out of the park.

I found a new series to binge read and devoured it all. Loved every minute of it.

Found a new favorite and now eagerly waiting for book 2 to be released.

This was a much better month rating wise.

Why trad-style dating (courtship) is still cool:

It's perfectly safe. No risk of Stds.

It allows you to get to know your lover as a person, not just a beautiful body.

It's easier to correct course when you have just hugged them too soon than when you had sex too soon.

It can be very playful: the little furtive looks you send to each other as you hold hands, testing the waters. The little flower you may give her.

It can be magical in a way that casual sex can't be: when you slow dance together and dare to cuddle up, smelling their perfume and blushing rose.

It's a art that is cutely vintage and not just stereotypical: all can love a chair that is pulled, a coat offered, a "Ladies first" or a "Gentlemen first" or even "Sweet peas first".

It pushed you to make the night extra special, no matter what you choose, expensive Bâton-Rouge filet mignon or simply a McDonald's coffee together late at night.

It can be relaxing, no pressure.

Most of all, it allows you to see, over dates and activities, if that special one is a keeper.

Went to Powell's since I am in Portland! They put all the romance together, except for romantasy and paranormal romance which have speciality sections. So the queer romance was just in there next to like Colleen Hoover and SJM.

Got a paperback of Drag Me Up and a Powell's t-shirt, which is exciting. I don't know how much indie authors make through having their books at Powell's but I did look for stuff.

i think my fail durge run has made me realize that for an astarion romance im less narratively interested in him with someone who indulges in the evil and petty parts of his personality but rather a goody two shoes who he first turns his nose up at but then gradually realizes that not everyone in the world is out to get him and that he can trust people

Ughhhh I need more media with absolutely fucked up relationships in canon but I'm having a hard time finding stuff that people agree is good and fanfic isn't cutting it anymore

Maybe I'm going about this wrong and instead of looking for stuff people say is good I should instead pick something wildly controversial to find quality.
