Romance, more than any other genre, is one that readers come to when they need hope. The genre affirms the belief that anyone — no matter who they are — can find not only love but also a Happily Ever After. In the past couple of years that feeling, that promise, has felt more necessary than ever. For me, this year has been a reminder that the personal is always political, and I've found myself reaching for romances with protagonists who are not only looking for that glorious HEA but also healing, showing up for their communities, being courageous enough to fight for justice and striving to live authentically.

Sherlock Holmes fans, assemble: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's old haunt is up for sale. Bignell Wood, a rural retreat in the New Forest, Hampshire, was one of the author's main abodes between 1925 and 1930. It's believed that his wife Jean Leckie loved the property so much that the esteemed writer decided to buy it as a gift for her.  Interior designer Jane McIntyre and her family have lived in the property for the past 16 years and have now decided to put it on the market. When McIntyre first moved in, the building was in a pretty dire state but has now been restored with modern-day fittings, featuring some nods to the author.  One of the rooms, for example, is painted in red in a nod to Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet', which he may have written in that very room.  The property also has some not-so desirable features (or desirable, depending on who's looking). The author is believed to have carried out sea...

Tupac Shakur backstage at KMEL Summer Jam 1992 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View CA on August 1st, 1992. Image By: Tim Mosenfelder/ImageDirect Tupac Shakur  left this world far too soon: The rapper and actor died in September 1996 at just 25 years old, days after he was targeted by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting. More than two decades later, Shakur's legacy lives on through his profound poetry and insightful lyricism.

The son of activist  Afeni Shakur ,  2Pac (the stage name he went by in his music) made it a point to not just raise awareness about racial, economic and social injustices in his music, but also to raise tempers. As Shakur once said about t...
