The Best of BookSmack! | Bodice Rippers Without the Bodice
Feb 15, 2011Welcome to a new series that aims to open your eyes to unique, cutting-edge book and author coverage in BookSmack!, LJ’s free semimonthly e-newsletter. Our avid readers tell us it’s both entertaining and informative, especially for its core audience of collection development and readers’ advisory librarians. In other words, if you haven’t been reading it, you’ve been missing out.
For proof, start here with Devon Thomas’s "Bodice Rippers Without the Bodice," a succint overview of the controversial male-on-male romance subgenre (12/16/10). Going forward, check out ongoing tastes in the Best of BookSmack! with more insights into fringe book culture (LJ 3/15/11).—Heather McCormack, Editor, BookSmack!
