If their site logo doesn’t already tell you, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is a bone-rattling keeps-you-honest brain flossing place. You want to think about romance novels and business and readers and fandoms? Good writing, tsunamis of crap, and sexist dismissive attitudes? Yeah, SBTB is for you, my friend. It’s for you.

From the SBTB site:

Smart Bitches Trashy Books began in 2005 as a community of romance readers eager to talk about which romance novels rocked their worlds, and which ones made them throw the book with as much velocity as possible. Since then our site has grown to include a community of incredibly smart and savvy romance readers, as well as folks who are curious about all those fuchsia books with the tangerine skies and turquoise ruffles they used to see in the drug stores.
