I'm back.

You're back.

How's it been?

Well, what's going on, romance?

You're a troublemaker.

You, ma'am, are going straight to romance jail.

Yeah, I've been away for two weeks, and I have seen people all over the country and I've seen, Jen, I saw so many firebirds.

That's so awesome, isn't it?

So many people came out and not just to Fated Mates Live.

People who went to Fated Mates Live then saw me again in Indiana. I mean, what are you doing? What else are you going to do? It's the Midwest in the... Just drive around. They probably came on their riding mower. The event in Indiana was real nice. It was with Wild Geese Bookshop. Hi, everybody at Wild Geese. They want to do a Fated Mates Live. We've already been to the Midwest. We've got to spread the love. Anyway, it was at Wild Geese Book Shop, and it was real nice. It was at an Indianan... Is that a thing? Indianan doesn't feel like a right word, but we're going to go with that. I'm like, what are you about to say?

I don't know what's following. An Indianan vineyard. Sure. Now, here's the thing. I didn't expect to find a vineyard in Indiana. You can grow grapes anywhere, Sarah. I don't think that's actually true. What do you know about grape growing? Listen, everybody. You saw that one movie with Keanu Reeves, and now you're an expert.

I'm actually cracking myself up, the authority with

growing anything anywhere. Then that's how it should be. The point is they took me to a grape,

a grapevine in Indiana. It was real nice. I was with Rebecca Bowman at the

Lily Library. Well, we were in, we were at this vineyard, but Rebecca came from the Lily Library.

They are the head of collections there. And they talked about collecting, which you know, I love to have people talk about because whenever anybody says, hey, you don't have to be a rich asshole to collect books.

You can just be a person who loves romance. I always think that's transformative. I love watching people's faces when they hear that and like input that.

So Rebecca did that and then, and it was great. We had a lovely time. One of the things Rebecca said was, in their opinion, some of the coolest collections are collections made by people who love a microtropes. And so what they do is they collect

every romance novel with a mustache on the cover. That's a pretty terrific idea. So here's my

question, Jen. What microtrope would you collect? Because I know you and I are collecting trailblazers.

Right. But that's not the same. You know, what I thought, what I thought this once would be, that would be really actually, really fucking funny. And it's a good transition today's topic. If I actually
