I think you're seeing certain terms as negative when some people using the terms don't necessarily intend them to be negative.

I consider Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" books mindless reads. I also consider them solid 4 star reads every time. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Love the books. Love revisiting her little corner of the world. Don't feel mentally challenged by reading them.

I just finished a Diana Gabaldon book that could be classified as historical romance. Her books aren't mindless reads. They are long with dense writing. The settings are brutal. The events are brutal. There are no "rose colored" glasses in sight. You have to work to read her books, no matter how gratifying they are.

There is a clear difference there. Maybe "mindless" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not always meant as a put down. I list both of those authors as favorites. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2851-richard-do-you-hate-him-or-love-him mlady_rebecca made a comment in the Ladies who love Laurell group:

That's it exactly. Richard is always two steps behind.

Sounds like a reasonable request to me.

Are you talking about large bookshelves or threads on a message board? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/242493-sherlock-holmes mlady_rebecca made a comment in the Goodreads Librarians group:

Three levels of librarians sounds like the safest solution, in terms of preventing data loss or corruption. I'd certainly be willing to take a quiz for more responsibilities as a Librarian. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78287195 My Heart is Within You (Triquetra, #1) by Marguerite Labbe
