Ripped Bodice Bingo Report
Hey, so here's my personal reading for the Ripped Bodice Bingo. Some of these I bumped to the top of the TBR, some I found through the library, some I sought out to fill a block, some had been of interest to me anyway. Also, a couple of these in my humble opinion fall into women's fiction but are according to the publishing marketing. I think the lines on that are currently being redrawn, but here we are.
Funnily enough amnesia and Hawaii were tough, partly because I've already read a lot for both. And I would not have told you I read this much second chance, but apparently I do. (Dance was not a surprise.) And I think widowed protagonist might be the entry that turned out to be a bit spoilery, so read on warned.
And hat tip to the @RomanceSmells Twitter that helped me narrow down some options for smells like laundry.
There's still time left to get in entries, so hopefully this is helpful if you want to play along. Many titles fit into multiple categories, so there are several repeats.
