A comprehensive guide that defines the literature and the outlines the best-selling genre of all time: romance fiction. More than 2,000 romances are published annually, making it difficult for fans and the librarians who advise them to keep pace with new titles, emerging authors, and constant evolution of this dynamic genre. Fortunately, romance expert and librarian Kristin Ramsdell provides a definitive guide to this fiction genre that serves as an indispensible resource for those interested in it—including fans searching for reading material—as well as for library staff, scholars, and romance writers themselves. This title updates the last edition of Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre, published in 1999.While the emphasis is on newer titles, many of the important older classics are retained, keeping the focus of the book on the entire genre, instead of only those titles published during the last decade. Specific changes include new chapters on linked and continuing romances, a new section on "Chick Lit" in the Contemporary Romance chapter, an expansion of coverage on the alternative reality subset. This is THE romance genre guide to have.

Genre: Humor
ISBN:

From the co-host of the wildly popular gay podcast, Shame On You, comes a hilarious, honest, and sometimes raunchy memoir documenting a decade-long descent into chaos. When Jordan Power checks himself into a mental hospital in the midst of a breakdown, he walks away without answers or prescription drugs — not for lack of asking. Gay, twenty-three, and newly single in downtown Toronto, Power can’t get out of his own way as he begins the journey of trying to figure out the world and himself, one self-destructive step at a time. Power’s unfiltered and humorous account of his path toward growing up and finding love is full of wild tales including run-ins with exes while on LSD, sleeping with his boss, blacking out in Rio, and of course, reconstructive asshole surgery. Acid-tongued Power’s debut novel Famous Anus is a how-not-to guide, showing that even lacking the most basic coping mechanisms, if you’re able to find humor in everything, life — like assholes — can eventually be put back together.
