Just bopping by to say that I loved your spot-on review of Season's Change, a book I very much liked (I'm such a hockey romance fan). I appreciate your call-out to cis het female authors of MM--and the suffering of the gays. I would have commented directly if I could, but I wanted to just let you know how much I appreciated that. Can I friend you? Kathleen in Oslo and I have lots of books and thoughts in common.

Leigh Kramer Thank you, Kirsten! It's such a thorny issue and I'm certainly not an expert but I hope it's something the community will start wrestling with more.

L…moreThank you, Kirsten! It's such a thorny issue and I'm certainly not an expert but I hope it's something the community will start wrestling with more.

Last year I changed my comment settings to friends only after a string of spam and abusive comments from random people who were mad I didn't like their favorite book. I do miss getting to hear from other people but having those limitations in place has been good for my peace of mind. It's something I'll probably revisit eventually. (Kathleen vouched for you so I'll make an exception to my rule, if you still want to friend me.)(less)

Hi Leigh! :-) I heard you a year or two ago on a podcast talking about the enneagram and from there, started following your reading here. I read A Lesson in Thorns based on your recommendation and really enjoyed its smart, sensual sexiness. So, I trust you read your romance/erotica with a brain! What are your top ten favorite romance/erotica novels?

Leigh Kramer So glad the Enneagram brought you around to me, Emily! And I'm extra glad you enjoyed A Lesson In Thorns. I'm hoping to put together a Favorite Erotic…moreSo glad the Enneagram brought you around to me, Emily! And I'm extra glad you enjoyed A Lesson In Thorns. I'm hoping to put together a Favorite Erotic Romance list eventually so I'll beg off on giving you a whole list. But here are a few favorite authors besides my beloved Sierra Simone to get you started: Tiffany Reisz, Elia Winters, and Alexis Hall. I haven't read much erotica so I can't help you there.(less)

I’m so glad I gave this series one more chance. Jason’s story was worth it! The world-building continues to fascinate me as we got to see how Neha’s realm works. However, the romance with Jason and Mahiya wasn’t as strong as I was hoping for. Where w ...more

“Walking is mapping with your feet. It helps you piece a city together, connecting up neighborhoods that might otherwise have remained discrete entities, different planets bound to each other, sustained yet remote. I like seeing how in fact they blend into one another, I like noticing the boundaries between them. Walking helps me feel at home.”
