Bonus #RomBkLove
10/29/2018
Surprise!
As a holiday gift to Romancelandia ( and because I need more booktalk on Twitter), I've put together a bonus round of #RomBkLove Prompts to help put more bootalk into our TL. Just a little joy for us to share.
For Bonus #RomBkLove 2018, I will post a new prompt post here and on Twitter each day of the month of November. I look forward to reading everyone's posts and adding more awesome books to my TBR.
Like I did in May I will also add a link this post to an archive of all of that day's #RomBkLove tweets, in case someone wants to go back read through all the hashtagged tweets later.
And finally as a Latinx (Puerto Rican), bi romance reader I want #RomBkLove to be an inclusive space for all.
If you have read and loved a book by LGBTQIA+, Disabled, and/or Authors of Color that fits the prompt please, please mention it. You might think everyone has heard of the book but I can guarantee you there are lots of people who still need to hear about it.

A Mini #RomBkLove Q& A:
What is #RomBkLove?
It is a month-long opportunity for readers to celebrate the romance they love to read and to help cultivate romance-centric conversations. Each day during a #RomBklove event, there is a different prompt to drive discussion.
How do I participate?
Readers share their favorite books, characters, scenes, or thoughts on tropes. Make sure to include the hashtag with your tweet!
Authors are welcome to participate too, as fellow readers. The tag is not meant for self-promotion.
How did RomBkLove get started?
Twitter and the way it amplifies the terribleness of the unrelenting news cycle has been exhausting for many of us while still being one of most important points of connections we have with other readers. I wanted to provide a little space for romance readers to find each other again.
I was inspired by the Instagram #Yarnchallenge and other similar posting challenges and wondered if anyone had done romance related ones. Once I started thinking of romance related prompts, I couldn’t stop. My first post about what became #RomBkLove was back in April of 2017. I’ve tagged all related posts on blog with #RomBkLove if you want to dig back.
