Romances get with the times!

In honor of Valentine's Day, CNN published this heartwarming (pun intended! :-) article about the increasing diversity of subjects and authors within the burgeoning romance publishing industry. One bookstore owner notes that over the seven years she's operated, the LGBTQ section of her store "has gone from almost all the novels being self-published to at least half being from mainstream publishers." The article references Red, White and Royal Blue, a 2019 bestseller that Amazon has filmed for release sometime this year. (For what it's worth: I nominated the book for our last list, but it didn't get enough votes to make the cut. I still highly recommend it as a fun read, however.)
