MAIN RULE: HAVE FUN!

[close] Welcome to the House of Llianne Olivo — a gathering space for readers who crave romance in every shade, shape, and form. Here you will find sweet stories, dark tales, spicy scenes, taboo corners, speculative twists, paranormal secrets, contemporary ache, and moments touched by mysticism and ghostlight that linger long after the last page. This group is for readers who want more than just a book on a shelf. Join if you want early access to my new releases as an ARC reader, or if you want to be part of my street team or beta circle. Here you can help pick tropes, share your preferences, and shape what I write next. I share giveaways, signed copies, bookmarks, and sometimes special extras through my Etsy shop. I release books weekly — Kindle Unlimited drops, Wattpad freebies, wide paperbacks and ebooks, and future audiobooks. I post behind-the-scenes confessions, raw thoughts about the industry, and honest updates on what it costs to build stories that bruise sweet. Many of my stories drift through shadows of spirituality and old myths — creatures of night and day, ghosts, forgotten gods, and whispered secrets. If that resonates with you, you will find it here, woven softly into the bones of each book. I hope to visit book fairs and local stores soon, and this group will be the first to know where I might appear next. If you want more connection, you can join my Discord for text chats, voice nights, story polls, music, and quiet late-night company. Whether you like your romance clean or dangerously dark, soft or sharp, sweet or uncomfortably good, you are welcome here. This House is built for readers who support each other and help my work stay visible with reviews, word-of-mouth, and honest conversation. We build this House together. Bienvenidos. This is where the ghosts get fed.

[close] The purpose of this group is to read and discuss one short story a week. For the the first couple of years, we read from specific anthologies, but from 10 November 2025, members can pick a week and pick a story to share. There is a link to each story in the discussion's opening post. You can drop in and out at any point, but we hope you enjoy participating in current - and even past - discussions. If you want to join, please answer the question you will see if using a browser. Private profiles that don't will be refused, as we want to get to know each other.

[close] This is a group for discerning readers looking to discover, explore, and critically discuss some of the World’s literature, with a primary emphasis on the great books, short stories and poetry of the early-18th century to the early-20th century.

This group is intended to be a safe, comfortable, yet stimulating haven for those looking to learn more and share their love for some of the World’s great literature.
