Thrill of the Chaste: The Allure of Amish Romance Novels (2013) by Valerie Weaver-Zercher
Browse the inspirational fiction section of your local bookstore, and you will likely find cover after cover depicting virtuous young women cloaked in modest dresses and wearing a pensive or playful expression. They hover innocently above sun-drenched pastures or rustic country lanes, often with a horse-drawn buggy in the background--or the occasional brawny stranger. Romance novels with Amish protagonists, such as the best-selling trailblazer The Shunning by Beverly Lewis, are becoming increasingly popular with a largely evangelical female audience. Thrill of the Chaste is the first book to analyze this growing trend in romance fiction and to place it into the context of contemporary literature, religion, and popular culture.
Valerie Weaver-Zercher combines research and interviews with devoted readers, publishers, and authors to produce a lively and provocative examination of the Amish romance novel. She discusses strategies that literary agents and booksellers use to drive the genre's popularity. By asking questions about authenticity, cultural appropriation, and commodification, Thrill of the Chaste also considers Amish fiction's effects on Amish and non-Amish audiences alike.

Se dice que entre más hermosa la rosa, más afiladas son sus espinas,
qué más da herirse las manos si todo aquello vale la pena,
que más da sangrar por la rosa realmente hermosa y perfecta,
sacrificar unos momentos de dolor por ver una rosa florecer a su máximo esplendor.

i kinda think the booktok thing is overblown. there was already a huge market for trashy, cheap, sappy, poorly written novels. and there was already a niche in the media pushing these books, and an incentive to write toward that audience. the only difference i see is that these books are getting promoted by influencers and algorithms instead of oprah

My brother just came up with a brilliant book idea, but we can't agree what the series should be titled.
Not sharing the plot, with just the title alone what's more intriguing to you?
