Hey! I’m Francesca! Reader, reviewer, content creator and chaos coordinator behind Under the Covers.
Under the Covers is your home for genre-deep romance content, book recs tailored to your vibe, and a reading challenge that’s basically a choose-your-own-adventure for adults (that’s Romanceopoly).
If you’re into:
Paranormal romance and fantasy worlds
Contemporary small towns or billionaire drama
Dark, taboo, and morally gray characters
Historical heroines who don’t play by the rules
Thrillers and romantic suspense with bite
90s/2000s nostalgia and pop culture rabbit holes
...you’ll probably feel right at home.
I started Under the Covers back in 2010 with an amazing group of women, and it’s grown into a blog, a podcast, a reading community, and now a newsletter where you can customize exactly what you want to get in your inbox. New releases? Genre-specific updates? Just the Romanceopoly stuff? You choose.
You can also find our free, always-expanding Book Vault database right here on the blog. No more paywall. Just books.
This Substack publication is now archived but I may still pop into Notes sometimes. So you’re welcome to hit that follow on the user account.
If you want to stay in the loop, here’s the only link you need:
See you under the covers.
