Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! We have new developments from Agency pricing publishers and more news from authors as well as books to watch out for!
First up, in a surprising move, Penguin has announced that they will drop Agency pricing and will be settling with the Department of Justice this week. It is also expected that Random House will also follow suit although they are the only publisher who wasn’t involved with the lawsuit due to them not adopting Agency pricing when it was first introduced. Macmillan is the only lone publisher right now involved in defending their stance against the DOJ’s charges for collusion even though they have settled in the EU for similar charges. John Sargent, the CEO for Macmillan has written an open letter explaining their position and defence. But it will be interesting to see how this all fares in the next year …

She will tell us the Story behind the Story 😉 Stay tuned and you can win an Amazon Gift Card. Let’s give a warm welcome to Delilah!
I’ve always wanted to write a Christmas themed historical romance. Always. I just didn’t have the right story to go with it. I waited and I waited for something special to inspire me and oddly, that inspiration came when I least expected it.
I was re-watching ‘The Graduate’ with my husband when my characters both whizzed into focus. I simply *had* to a write a story about an older woman and a younger man set in Dickens’s era during Christmas. Don’t ask me how I made …
Romance and Me: The Holiday Shopping List/Wishlist Edition
Hey Everyone!
Christmas/the holidays are fast approaching and I sincerely hope you have already started your gift shopping, but in all the buying presents for others do not forget to compile your own wishlist and even maybe treat yourself to one or two great stories 😉
By now you know what a huuge Christmas-aholic I am, which also includes my enthusiasm for holiday romances. You want to know why I love this sub-genre Easy, it encompasses two of my favourite things: Christmas and a love story. The holidays are always portrayed in these stories with their magical ambience that you can easily picture: the snow flakes falling gently, the fire roaring in the fireplace, the hot cocoa smelling tempting and the vibe of the holiday cheer and love permeating everything. (Ok, I can see how this can be too syrupy sweet for some less Christmas-enthusiasts so be assured …
