The Bookish Abbreviations Guide
from Books & Banter with Les & Co. · host DAMN
Ben is back as co-host, and this week we’re diving into the wonderfully chaotic world of bookish abbreviations. We sort out the difference between genres—like Romantasy, Romance, Dark Romance, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi—and the tropes hiding inside them, from HEA to HFN and everything in between. We try to decode what readers are talking about, take some wildly wrong guesses, and laugh our way through the shorthand that the book world insists we should already know. It’s playful, silly, and packed with “wait… that’s what it means?” moments.Join Les and rotating cast of co-hosts for a weekly fun filled, talk about all things books!You can shoot us an email to [email protected] matter who you are we guarantee you will find a show (or multiple) for yourself on the Dufferin Ave Media Network!
