Five Years of Feminist Romance on RNFF

This Saturday, at the Boston Book Festival, author Aya de León and I are going to be on a panel together, speaking about "The Hows and Whys of Feminist Romance." Knowing that people in the audience might ask for book recommendations, I began browsing through the reviews I've written here on RNFF, only to realize that I totally missed the fifth anniversary of the blog! In celebration of that anniversary, I've put together a list of the more than 225 books that have been reviewed on RNFF over the past five years, either in stand-alone or group reviews, or in the RNFF "Best of 2012-2016" lists. You can either download this complete list as a handy pdf file here; or you can browse the list below, which includes links back to the reviews of each book if you want more information before you decide whether or not a book might be for you.

Happy reading!
