Ep. #7 — All Things Romance

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.
