Say Hello! Find OverDrive on Facebook and Twitter and email the podcast directly at [email protected]    Episode Overview Valentine's Day is just around the corner so the staff librarians here at OverDrive decided to dedicate an episode to the Romance genre. But because we are all such well-rounded readers, we cover more than just your typical "bodice rippers," discussing some young adult titles and Amish romances, but also titles perfect for Galentine's Day and those single on this particular holiday. Of course, we can't discuss the Romance genre without mentioning some of our favorite punny titles as well.    Featured OverDrive Staff Jill, Rachel W., Liz    Intro (0:00-3:19)   Recent Reads (3:20-10:54) Boy In the Black Suit by Jason Reynolds This Raging Light by Estelle Laure The Painter's Daughter by Julie Klassen The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean   Favorite Punny Titles (10:55-13:00) A Rogue By Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean One Good Earl Deserves A Lover by Sarah MacLean A Scot in the Dark by Sarah MacLean Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare Love in the Time of Scandal by Caroline Linden Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas No Groom at the Inn by Megan Frampton   Jane Austen Retellings & Amish Romances (13:01-17:22) Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep First Impressions by Sarah Price Second Chances by Sarah Price   Readers Advisory Recommendations (17:23-37:08)  Galentine's Day Reads Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevension How To Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro Kiss My Tiara: How To Rule the World as a SmartMouth Goddess by Susan Jane Gilman Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C.
