It’s RT Rewind time again! This month, we’re going back to July 1992 to check out the new releases reviewed in…the 100th issue of Romantic Times magazine! Yup, the cover is memorable, and so are the book covers.
We discuss: Cover models! Who would be the cover model for subgenre specific magazine issues? Nostalgia! Are the tag lines on the cover both references to cigarette ads? Reviews! There are some absolute classics in this issue, including Outlander. Reading slumps! There are so many people in one, including me.
