The Book Refuge

The Book Refuge

Welcome to The Book Refuge!

I am a lover of all things Romance and I am so happy you are here to share it with me.

I started this channel in 2018 and I NEVER could have dreamed up all the amazing people I was going to meet. I wanted a place to talk about the books I loved and give people great recommendations that bring them joy. I have created a welcoming space, a Refuge if you will, to share our opinions, free of judgement or shame.

Romance is my heart and soul. I love it all, but my favorite Sub-Genres are: Historical, Dark Contemporary, Fantasy, Mafia, and Taboo. I strive to create a SHAME-FREE zone, where all RESPECTFUL opinions are welcomed and considered. Romance gives me the promise of a Happily Ever After (HEA), no matter what the characters have to go through. As long as they are together and in love by the end, I am willing to give it a go. And if it gets a little kinky along the way... that's a bonus!

So welcome to The Book Refuge, I am so happy to have you!

XOXO,
Jenn

    I'm about 45% into Embers in the Snow and am really enjoying it! Like you said, it's not anything particularly unique, but man am I having fun reading it!

    Wow! That one looks super interesting. It says it's Closed Door? A dark romance that's closed door? I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. But I'll keep it on the pile maybe!

    @@TheBookRefuge Yes it's closed-door but still really swoony :) Give it a try, I think you could really like it since you know about sign language :)

    Haha! I don't personally have anything against him. #RonBashing is just a popular tag in fan Fiction and lots of FF readers like to watch him fry. Haha! He's also just not someone people write much fic about. 🤷‍♀️

    People have lost it with the hate towards JK Rowling, I don't think people actually read what she writes, but rather read other people's commentary about it and therefore come to the conclusion that she's evil. I support her.

    Honestly I’m tired of hearing about how evil JK Rowling is. I’m like ok ok I’ve heard you rant about her for the past I dunno how many years can you shut up already? (Not you specifically but people in general.) if I ranted about the crap I don’t like then I’d have no time for the things I do like. So I don’t keep that negativity in my mind. Life is too short to get worked up over everything. Enjoy the books and fanfics you want! Screw the naysayers!

    Thank u so much! I have never clicked on a video faster. I will always want and watch any fanfic recs from you! There are so many good ones but they can be hard to find because the sheer volume of what’s available. I’ve never been disappointed if the rec came from u.
