Who knew I would get to use this a second time?

... actually, my personal vow to never write that much again after undergrad probably should have warned me or something.

But! My paper for my masters' final project has been turned in! With about a minute to spare ahahahaha. And I noticed a typo and a formatting error the second after, but whatever! And my poster is drafted for partner to look over tomorrow morning while I REMAIN SLEEPING!

... now just one paper, 2 presentations, one piece of software, one poster, and one final exam to go. And then OMG GRADUATION = NO MORE SCHOOL I SWEAR FOR REAL THIS TIME.

DW knows all

Lately the only thing I seem to be able to read is romantic comedy. So... rec me stuff!

I have just gone on a terrible binge through nearly all of Julia Quinn (rilina, this is all your fault!), whom I have been enjoying because her heroes tend to be less alpha, her couples genuinely seem to like each other, and she's funny. Also, it helps that her later books have been overcoming her tendency to put 100 pages too much at the end.

I am mostly looking for something rather like 1930s romantic comedies, with a lot of banter and extremely likable heroines. Non-alpha heroes are a HUGE plus. It doesn't have to be in the romance genre, although I only want recs for textual things; my brain just cannot concentrate on TV or movies lately. Sadly, this goes for manga too and basically anything visual.

I also enjoy Loretta Chase, Laura Kinsale's comedies, Connie Brockway's comedies, and Jennifer Crusie.

I have kind of bounced off Eloisa James (is she considered funny?). I don't read as many contemporaries because a lot of the romance genre rules work better for me in historicals, but if it is screwball and feminist, I am all for it. I tend to bounce off of adult chick lit because I frequently don't actually find it funny or enjoyable.

... Maybe I should finally start reading Heyer?
