Twitter Romancelandia Challenge: find an old-timey romance cover with a look that you'd wear right now. I'll start.
This is a great dress. Someone could wear this to a wedding today.
This man actually looks like a grown up!
towels never really go out of style.
How is this gentleman's towel staying on?
I would not wear any of this, but MY GOD.
E Y E P A T C H A L E R T.
Is the boss's urgent proposal that it's time to take the puppy out?
WHO WISHES FOR THEIR HOUSE TO BURN DOWN?
This is a great look.
I wish there was more straight up lingerie on book covers. I love it.
Also, on the cover above? Her eye makeup is *flawless*
I love, love, love a crisp white shirt with jeans. This is a great cover. Also a fan of any cover where the woman is on top.
I like her work wear look a lot. Would wear.
Last one. I love this.

I want to talk about this rather amazing thread in light of the 60 RITA books I read and my recent trip to RWA, I guess.

Other people (Bree has a good thread, for example) have way more insight on the publishing side. I want to talk as a reader/critic.
I wish we could talk about writing quality more in romance. Maybe it's a knee-jerk response to outsiders who think **all** romance writing is terrible. Are we afraid if we start a conversation about writing quality, outsiders will jump in and say I KNEW IT?
And mea culpa: I didn't talk too much about writing quality in the RITA books I DNF'd, and maybe I should have. In some ways, it's an easy dodge, because the books with poor writing seem to travel with a sidecar of terrible content. It's easier to talk about problematic content.

Good evening. I read PART TIME HUSBAND by Noelle Adams. This is a finalist in the contemporary mid-length category.

amzn.to/2ECqGSF
The heroine is Melissa Greyson. She's 28 and works for her grandfather's company. Since Pop is a controlling old geezer, he tells her that he's going to take her job from her if she doesn't produce a husband STAT.
In order to fulfill the letter of the law, Melissa asks one of Pop's business enemies, a young guy named Trevor Bentley to marry her for a year. That way she can keep her job and get Pop off her back.

A thread of #JenReadsRitas books, bc that's a thing I'm going to do.
Just yesterday I read THE LAST WOLF by Maria Vale. It's so strong. I bought the 2nd book on spec last week, and now I'm so glad I have it ready to go.

amzn.to/2YghUC3
It's honestly so fresh for a book about wolves. Silver, our heroines is a wolf who has never been offland--she's way more comfortable as a wolf than in "skins." The hero, Tiberius, is a shifter who will be killed if she doesn't help him.

Really interesting world-building.

Out today! My new, chart-rich paper on trade, globalization & US public opinion:
cato.org/publications/f…
So now a thread on why I wrote this paper - the data for which were surprisingly difficult to gather (thanks, @pewresearch, @Gallup, @ChicagoCouncil, etc for the help!) - and what it reveals /2
The malleability of US public opinion on trade is something I first noticed years ago (and briefly discussed in this paper from 2011: cato.org/publications/f…). Trade polls have long fluctuated depending on politics, rhetoric & the economy. /3

There are a lot of prominent people, who claim to be principled anti-war activists, who led us to believe that Hillary was the *real* threat, that should be absolutely ashamed to show their faces right now. Yet they're all pretending like it never happened.
None of this is surprising if you were paying attention & weren't looking to confirm your biases that #actually Trump might not be so bad (not as bad as Killary). Most of us saw the threat in real time & called it out. It wasn't subtle.
It's just so incredibly frustrating bc it was all so predictable. You demanded that every journalist & pundit who predicted the election results incorrectly be disgraced; yet this was infinitely more consequential. And yet, you've taken zero responsibility for your actions.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
