Submit ReviewEvery year, we produce a summer reading hour to talk about some of our favorite books of this year, and give you recommendations of the best beach reads.
And this year, we’re diving into the illustrious, the notorious, the infamous paperback: the romance novel.
There’s a lot of stigma attached to romance reading, especially within the reading community. But this top grossing genre is actually one of the most popular book genres in the world.
