August’s Book for the Romtastic Bookclub!

Alrighty peeps, our first book for the club is Beauty And The Billionaire by Jessica Claire.

THE SHORT DESCRIPTION: Virgin recluse hero smitten w/ playful heroine from afar, workplace employer/employee dynamic.

THE LONG DESCRIPTION: Real-estate tycoon Hunter Buchanan has a dark past that’s left him scarred and living as a recluse on his family’s palatial estate. Hunter is ready to give up on love—until he spots an enigmatic red-haired beauty and comes up with an elaborate scheme to meet her.

Gretchen Petty is in need of a paycheck—and a change. So when a job opportunity in an upstate New York mansion pops up, she accepts. And while she can overlook the oddities of her new job, she can’t ignore her new boss’s delectable body—or his barely leashed temper.

Hunter’s afraid his plan might be unraveling before it’s truly begun, but Gretchen is about to show him that life can be full of surprises.

THE BOOK CLUB CHAT: On September 2nd at 6 pm Central Standard Time you’ll get a Google Hangout invite. Please message me with your Google account email if you want to participate.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Up to 10 people can video chat at a time in Google Hangouts. Each month I’ll rotate the 9 other video chatters, so everyone will have a chance to video if they want. Everybody else can chat along in the Hangout’s text chat. If you don’t want to video chat that month, or only want to participate via the text chat, that is totally okay. Just let me know.

For anyone who hasn’t received an invite to be a contributor on the Romtastic Book Club PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Or be sure to follow the blog so you don’t miss updates and posts from other club members about that month’s book.

Flowery asks: bluebell, buttercup and calla!

Thank you for the ask! :) I already answered buttercup here

bluebell : do you drink tea or coffee ? Coffeeeeee… I put so much creamer in it that it’s practically not coffee anymore, but I drink it all the time. I’m currently trying to stop buying it every day because it’s expensive and I really doubt it helps my anxiety. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

calla : what’s your favorite book ? I have a few I’ll give you - Deathless by Catherynne Valente, The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Arcadia by Iain Pears, and Portrait of a Lady by Henry James (I’ve read a lot of classics)

skyewardswan replied to your post “It’s my birthday today!!! Should I spend the first half of the day...”

Happy birthday!! Reading is always a good option!

Thank you!!

And I think I might have to divide the time between the two haha. Reading is definitely fun, but skyrim will help me pass the time ‘quicker’ until people get back from work and can hang out with me.

Bookish this or that: 3, 4, 7 :)

3 - fantasy or sci-fi

ooh, I definitely like fantasy more than sci-fi! sci-fi is usually pretty hit or miss for me? sometimes the science of it all just kinda overwhelms me, I guess. I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to recommend two sci-fi books I read recently though - False Hearts by Laura Lam and The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron! I really enjoyed them!

4 - already answered :)

7 - Harry Potter or Percy Jackson

okay, so. my usual answer would be Harry Potter, buuuuuuuuut lately I've been leaning more toward Percy Jackson? I LOVE THEM BOTH, OKAY. but it's gotten to the point where I'm like "please, no" every time something new of Harry Potter comes out, which is sad :/

Aesthetic ask: Fairy lights, stars and cactus

fairy lights: if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know?

Am I a good writer or am I just kidding myself?

cactus: what is your opinion on brown eyes

I love brown eyes! I think they are massively unappreciated

stars: when did you last cry in front of another person?

THE ROMTASTIC BOOKCLUB IS A THANG!!!

Alrighty, peeps. This bookclub is TOTES GONNA EXIST!

I’ve had enough people express interest that they’re down for a video/text romance bookclub, so here’s the deets!

1. GROUP BLOG I’ve just created our Romtastic Bookclub group blog and you should be getting an invite to join soon. If I’ve overlooked your name, or you’d like to join, please message me so I can add ya to the fun! This is our landing spot where we can post thoughts, quotes, reactions, etc. while we read the month’s pick. No one is obligated to post, it’s just for us peeps who wanna chat throughout the month before the club meets.)

2. CLUB MEETING: WHEN The Romtastic Bookclub will meet on the first Saturday of the month at 6 pm Central time...? This is negotiable and open to discussion because we all have different schedules. I’d like to pick a time and date that works well for most of us, so PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK! :)

3. CLUB MEETING: WHERE The Romtastic Bookclub is going to be a Google Hangout. Up to 10 people can video chat at a time and so far we have 33 people who are interested. Each month I’ll rotate the 9 other video chatters, so everyone will have a chance to video if they want. Everybody else can chat along in the Hangout’s text chat. If you don’t want to video chat that month, or only want to participate via the text chat, that is totally ok. Just let me know.

4. CLUB MEETING: HOW You will need a Google account in order to participate in the Hangout. As a result I will need your Google name or email attached to your account so I can add you to the Hangout conversation. Please message me with this information either on my @diehard-fangirl blog or on the group blog. (Also hug yourself every time I said “Google,” “Hangout,” or “blog,” lol.)

5. CLUB MEETING: WHAT Every month I’d like to rotate through different subgenres. For simplicity’s sake, I’ll choose our first Romtastic Bookclub pick. I do want to open this up for voting so everyone in the club can have a voice in what we read. I just gotta figure out the best way to do this. DECISIONS WILL BE MADE SOON!

6. NO PRESSURE! Being a member of the Romtastic Bookclub in NO WAY obligates you to participate every month. If you can’t make it to the Hangout or you’re not interested in that month’s book pick, or life gets too busy, NO WORRIES! This is just supposed to be fun, so no stress!

7. I’M A NEWBIE IDIOT! I have NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE OH MY GERD!! Hosting a bookclub, doing a Google Hangout- this is all new for me, so I’m nervous am probably gonna screw up. Please be patient with me as I fake my way through our first few months of the club. I suck, but yall don’t, so IMMA GET THROUGH DIS WITH YA!

8. Das it.

I’ve tried to think of everything that anyone could ask, but I suck. If I left out anything or you have any questions, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME! You can also post questions on the group blog. I’ll be posting this on both my diehard-fangirl & on Romtastic Bookclub.

Here’s a cute puppy GIF for reading through this wall of text!

Shaina and I found a bunch of cute new (ish) clothes today at a garage sale!

That’s awesome!!

Shaina: drape-y cardigans and shawls, ripped jeans, tons of candles, absentmindedly playing guitar, well loved converse, forgotten mugs of tea, walking through the rain without an umbrella, dimples,

No More Please
