The End of an Era and a Bittersweet Goodbye to RT Book Reviews

In 1981 Kathryn Falk began Romantic Times as a newsletter and the first publication was distributed to 3000 subscribers. In 2004 it had 150,000 subscribers and had gained the reputation of being the Premier Romance genre magazine.

The End of an Era, RT Book Reviews Magazine Goes Digital

The End of an Era

On Friday I received not only mine, but the very last print edition of RT Reviews Magazine. I’ve had the privilege to review for them since 2011.
I have always reviewed single titles and will continue to for the digital edition but after a few months I took on reviewing the Harlequin Presents series and the next year I took the Special Edition series too and I kept them both until it just got too much and I had to give up the Presents novels last year. Not only will the magazine now be only available in digital format but they’ve also decided to eliminate all the Harlequin series reviews.

Many of the authors I reviewed in the magazine became much more than a name on the title page, some are on-line and a few have become personal friends. I hated that I was under strict orders not to say anything but its now out in the open and everyone knows the score and I’m happy to say that even though RT has decided to delete them from the digital magazine The Reading Frenzy will each month feature at least the entire Special Edition series and hopefully I’ll be able to feature two series each month.

On July 19^th, which is when the August SE series releases The Reading Frenzy will showcase the entire series and review Her Maverick M.D. by Teresa Southwick.

The Harlequin series line remains crazy successful because they appeal to such a wide audience range. They’re easy to read are written for every type of romance fan and perfect for commuters, weekend readers and especially those for whom an HEA is a MUST.

So enjoy the new monthly feature and be sure to stop by and support all the Harlequin series and the authors who write with such passion and heart. And like I always say Harlequin Makes the World go Round so Here Here to HQN!!!!
