Alonimi Spamstravaganza

I haven't read any Mary Balogh in a while, but I really liked the Bedwyn series (wuuuulfriiiiic siiiigh) and in general when something seems rapey or awful in her books it's because it's supposed to be. She can get a little too intense for me sometimes if I just want some fluff, but in the Bedwyn series that isn't really a problem.

I like Gail Carriger for steampunk, I have a boxed set of the Parasol Protectorate.

Ever since the Duchess War Courtney Milan has been my favorite though, I have never read a historical romance novel with SUFFRAGETTES and EVOLUTIONISTS and PEOPLE OF COLOR and CHUBBY LADIES and ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT and I mean there's a girl with epilepsy who falls in love with an Indian guy and it is so cute??

My mom is a big fan of the Outlander series and I enjoyed them well enough, but they are so fucking long and she takes herself so fucking seriously and everyone gets raped eventually it's just exhausting
