07.15: Holiday Romances for 2024: Put It in the Lilly Library
Manage episode 456057087 series 2456877
It's the holiday season, which means holiday romance! This year, we're talking about Princes of Christmas falling for heirs to Halloween, Hanukkah treats, retellings ofThe Holiday, sexy cabins in the woods, second chances, Harlequin Presents, and yes, an online site called OnlySantas. It's truly something for everyone!
We are taking next week off, but we’ll be back with some special guests for our annual New Years Eve episode, which promises to be a banger. In the meantime, we hope you get everything you want from whomever you believe in.
After New Years, our first read along of 2025 is Judith Ivory's The Proposition, a terrific Pygmalion retelling and one of Sarah's favorites. Find it at your local independent bookseller, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books or Amazon.

The Notes
- It’s the most wonderful time of the year. We’ve had lots of previous episodes around the winter holidays, as well.
- Rare book dealer Rebecca Romney was on the podcast back in season 4, talking about how to collect books. You an read the catalogue for her collection, The Romance Novel in English, which was sold to the Lilly Library at Indiana University. You can see an exhibit of this collection, called Love in the Library, in Bloomington, Indiana through early February of 2025.

- Two very funny posts on Threads about category romance, one from Kate Clayborn and Amanda Cinelli’s reply.
- Sweetest Day isn’t even a real holiday, unless you’re from Cleveland, that is.
