Although, as a romance novelist, I would argue that every week is romance week. ;)

All kinds of cool stuff is going on. Romance authors taking questions, 14-word love stories (so far my favorite is J.R. Ward’s “‘How can I not love you?’ I said to Channing Tatum as he blushed”), Top 10 lists, and more. Click here to check it out.

And stay tuned! Avon Books is hosting another Goodreads giveaway for You May Kiss the Bride, starting on — swoon! — Valentine’s Day. I’ll keep you updated when the giveaway goes live.

Mary Balogh posted this on Facebook. And I got all dreamy-eyed.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“The Complete Journey” by Jonathan Wolstenholme

When I was invited to contribute to this year’s Avon Author Reading Wish List, did I hesitate? Not for a second. Because — hurray! — Loretta Chase has a new book coming out this year!

Katharine Ashe, Sophie Barnes, Megan Frampton, Laura Lee Guhrke, Beverly Jenkins, Jennifer Ryan, Lynsay Sands, and Lori Wilde also shared their Wish List choices. My TBR stack just got bigger . . .

You can read the Wish List here.

Bookworm problems.

Me, after I’ve finished a book I totally love.

“Jove Decadent” by Ramon Casas i Carbo

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice plays a small role in You May Kiss the Bride, so I was especially delighted to come across these images from the Folio Society’s recently published edition of P & P. Aren’t they spectacular?

The artists are Anna and Elena Balbusso. More here.

Although I don’t write gothic romance, I’ve certainly read it, and I adore this evocative image. Are these steps ones you’d want to go up . . . or hastily down, and away?
