Mini-Reviews Series Edition–feat. world-building, feelings, and fan-art

8 Bookish romances I actually support–so much arguing
I spend a fair bit of time bashing romances in books. I roll my eyes at teen romantic drama and rage against so called “romantic” relationships that are SO UNHEALTHY HOW DOES NO ONE ELSE SEEM TO NOTICE. Despite all this, I’m not against all bookish romance. Yes, I’m picky. Yes, I generally tend to…
