We Love Our Pets!

International Spy Museum Washington, DC

S

eems everyone these days has gone gaga for his or her furry friend.

Pet ownership numbers are way up—in fact, a survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association shows that 67 percent of U.S. households own at least one pet … that’s an estimated 84.9 million homes.

More and more young Millennials are choosing fur babies before getting married or starting a family. Luckily for them, there are now countless ways to pamper and care for your cats, dogs, and other animals.

Pssst! The new International Spy Museum at L’Enfant Plaza includes interactive exhibitions and installations, the foremost collection of spy artifacts in the world, and first-person accounts from top intelligence officers and experts.

Of course pet food and treats have gone high end in the last few years.

Today’s pet owners truly care about the quality of the food they give their animals. Technology has made ordering these items so much easier…just look at the growth of chewy.com and pet items offered up by Amazon.

Individualized subscription boxes for pets are the latest trend in the pet market.

For example, Pet Plate offers human-grade pet meals on a subscription basis.

These specialized meals come fully prepared, flash frozen, and ready for Fido to feast on some serious almost-home cooking. Subscription boxes are all the rave for humans, so why not pets? BarkBox.com and PupJoy.com both offer monthly subscription boxes filled with treats and toys customized to your dog.

There’s also one for cats called KitNipBox.com, where you can have felinefriendly toys and treats delivered to your door monthly.

Speaking of cats, the kitty litter box has also been given a redesign. For a modern take on the traditional box, check out the Grand Poo Box, which has a sleek look and a ramp style exit to help remove litter from your cat’s paws after they do their thing. Even more advanced is the self-cleaning Toletta, a kitty litter box that can track your cat’s visits, monitoring for health issues (UTIs), obesity, and even kidney disease. Info is sent to your smart phone via an app.

Trips to the puppy spa and doggy massages have also been trending, especially for owners of anxious pups. A few new ideas for a dog who can’t relax: Try CBD oil for your pet. This cannabis oil is said to help reduce stress and pain and may be perfect for pre-travel or vet and grooming visits. And for those pets that get upset during thunderstorms? Therapy wraps or anxiety blankets made specifically for anxious dogs. No matter what your furry friend needs, it’s available these days.

as well as diverse fare appealing to an emerging younger readership. Regardless of age, she is passionate about any number of definitive genres and sub-genres that may include contemporary, historical (set prior to 1950), suspense, erotic, paranormal, spiritual or young adult.

Many of us grew up aware of – if not actually consuming – the ubiquitous and recognizable Harlequin Romance series. Founded in 1949, Harlequin still steadily produces both paperbacks and eBooks with titillating titles like “To Deceive a Duke.” The other established romance format is the single title which are typically longer, released individually in hardback, paperback, and/or digitally.

F

Romantic prose and star-crossed literary lovers have spanned several centuries with millions of words written by notable writers such as Jane Austen, Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts and Nicholas Sparks. Former mayor of Atlanta and minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, Stacey Abrams, wrote eight romance novels under the pseudonym of Selena Montgomery. Her first one was penned during her third year at Yale Law School and the series has been lauded for its strong and sexy representation of women of color.

rankly, my dear, we don’t give a damn what they say about romance novels.

Pardon the classic quip appropriation, but the literary genre of romantic fiction has come into its own and it’s not riding off into the sunset any time soon. What used to be dismissively referred to as bodice rippers is now a $1.08 billion industry and makes up 23% of the whole fiction market. That’s a whole lot of brooding heroes and heaving bosoms!

There are two main elements that make the heart of the romance novel beat. A central love story is key, no matter what subplots and struggles the characters must endure. And our swoony protagonists should be rewarded with an emotionally satisfying ending – that golden HEA (happily ever after) – every romance reader craves.

According to a 2017 study commissioned by the Romance Writers of America, the typical romance reader is female (82%), and although the average age is between 35 and 39, there is a recent expansion in both the “seasoned” romance market

FLAVORFUL

TRAVEL TIME

Whether your taste runs more to “Sense and Sensibility” or the steamier “Fifty Shades of Grey,” you’ll be able to find romance novels with settings that range from the historic Scottish Highlands to the glittering sets of Hollywood to imaginary worlds populated by lovesick shape shifters.

Two more places you’re guaranteed to find love-affirming romantic fiction? Sitting comfortably at the top of national bestseller lists and at The Ripped Bodice in Los Angeles – the only bookstore in the U.S. catering exclusively to the romance market.

Happy (ever after) reading!
