It’s been a while since I did a Saturday Snack Time post, but there have been sooo many good things that I stumbled upon this week. So today just called out for one. So here’s a quick selection of links that that stood out, accompanied by Maple Bacon Doughnuts (recipe here) that I made for today’s Washington Romance Writers luncheon.It was fab meeting all the writers and bloggers and readers today! If you’re new to the blog, here’s more about me and here are my review policies. So happy to have met everyone!

1 | Alexis Hall writes about love and intimacy as a goal in genre romance for Bookpushers.

2 | Grayson Perry on the Default Man in The New Statesman. Contains a call for a gay black James Bond, which seems perfectly rational to me.

3 | Banana chocolate hazelnut cake will be happening in my household right quick.

4 | Ana Canino-Fluit gives romance recommendations for books and tropes that appeal to her as a Latina reader.

5 | A Dungeons & Dragons gamemaster who plays with a group of porn stars (also: it isn’t a gimmick and it’s totally SFW).

6 | Older characters in romance? YES, PLEASE!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
