Violetta - I can suggest a few, let me look through my stuff.
Thanks so much Tina! Can anyone else help out/cowrite too?
Just wondering if DearAuthor posted a list for this? I was browsing through there today and still hadn't seen one.

Both, actually. They do reviews on romance novels--all sub genres (some by request of the author) on a graded scale A-F and all the pluses & minuses in between. It's funny though because I first saw the thread on amazon as "Dear Author" and then later on a blog. On amazon their aren't usually any book specific reviews. The readers express certain dislikes or quirks to some of the things authors write in their books and authors respond in kind (great idea if you ask me). The website are where they do actual book reviews and an open comment box for each review where all are welcome to respond. They review romance novels of all sub-genres but I've yet to see a IR or even multicultural genre on there, just your usual contemporary, PNR, UF, Historical, etc...

That sounds interesting, thanks Serena. Do the authors just post a request of their work to the group in general, or specific members?
N.p. Michelle ;-) I think thats the way of it though. The author requests the dear author group to review their book and that book gets assigned to one of the dear author reviewers (usually their preferred genre) and that person reviews it. Their reviews are always very thorough.

I'll have to check them out. Thanks Serena!

This would be so awesome! Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to do this. I tweeted some IR/MC I loved, but I read mostly m/m, and I really only started reading romances at all heavily last year, so I don't have a solid background to make recs.
Can someone who does know their stuff cowrite with me? I was thinking we could do a list of books from the last couple years, maybe about ten in all, as different from each other as possible, with a paragraph or two explaining why they're great.
Please volunteer on this thread if you think you'd like to work on this. Also, please no authors reccing themselves. I'm a newbie author and I won't be reccing any of my own stuff... I'd like to contribute a couple MMF recs and then mostly help with editing the list and putting the post together.
Looking for 1-3 people at the most. If you would like to volunteer please post here, message me to exchange emails and let's get going on this! I'm really excited about it!
