Jaime Green Named New York Times Book Review Romance Columnist
Jaime Green has been named the romance columnist for the New York Times Book Review. This column will be released on a quarterly basis and will debut in the Summer Reading issue of the Book Review in June. I love that the NYTBR is finally embracing romance. I hate the idea that romance is viewed as 'less than' in the literary world. I'm so glad that romance fans will now have the opportunity to hear more about the genre from a the New York Times Book Review!
