Is There a Stigma in Reading Romance?
Grace visits the Book Wenches and asks: Is there a stigma attached to reading romance?
I think so. It is only since becoming a published author of historical romance that I 'came out' and admitted to reading the genre. The strange thing is that since I went public, people I consider perfectly normal, intelligent, fulfilled and responsible, who I never previously suspected of being fellow addicts, also came out and said; 'Oh yeah, I love reading romance to.' So why this reluctance to go public?

Are you secretive about your romance habit, and if so, why?
