Nice write-up! I took a few notes during the panel, myself, which I'm going to type up and post around, along with the handout I prepped ahead of time that not everyone got a copy of. This is what the handout said, btw:
(A Few) Resources for Analyzing and Exploring Romance Novels
Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels - A fun read with lots of humor. Takes a very heteronormative approach.
Janice Radway, Reading the Romance: Women, Patriarchy, and Popular Literature – The author's methods and attitude toward her research subjects are pretty hotly debated, but there's interesting stuff here.
Pamela Regis, A Natural History of the Romance Novel
Margaret Atwood, Lady Oracle - Not a romance, but very much about romance and feminism.
And Some Romance and Erotic Romance Novel Recommendations!
Nalini Singh, CARESSED BY ICE
Lorie O'Clare, the Malta Werewolves series
Kama Spice, KESSA'S PRIDE
Cecilia Tan, the Magic University series
Mercedes Lackey, the Tales of The Five Hundred Kingdoms series
