Though I have read them when I was little yet I bought देवदास and परिणीता after hovering in hindi section yesterday along with some other classics. I don't had any idea of goodreads romance week but since it's here and I had 2 apt book for that so I have started देवदास, it still has its charm even after a century. What a creation by sharat chand
I'm reading The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan but I'll be reading Fall of Poppies of Valentine's Day which is a collection of historical love stories. I'm also listening to Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. Starting off Feb with lots of love stories!

I'm currently reading "The Last Letter from Your Lover". It's excellent!
Just finished reading, "Blue Dahlia" by Nora Roberts, and just finished listening to, "Beneath this Ink" by Meghan March. Currently reading "Black Rose" by Nora Roberts, and listening to, "The Daredevil Snared" by Stephanie Laurens. Next in que are "Red Lily" by Norah Roberts, to finish off that trilogy, and audiobook "Last Breath" by Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick. I listen or read Jacqueline Carey's "Kushiel" series twice a year, so I'll be gearing up for those three books, then the follow up of Imriel's story soon! Love them! Absolute FAVORITE!
Reading these 14 word romance stories, tell me even my favourites, struggle to come up with the goods :) Still love them though, but in a full length novel type, where their talent is allowed to flourish :)Kylie Scott's was best. Who is she? O.o
Elyse wrote: "Not big into straight romance novels. I'm reading Throne of Glass!"I'm into historical novels set in ancient Rome; one set in Roman Britain, which has always stuck with me, features a sweet romance between a Roman centurion and a British girl, as well as the main story: defeat of the Ninth Legion-- The Legions of the Mist: A Novel of Roman Britain. This one has always stuck with me.
Didn't know it was romance week, but - surprise, surprise - I happen to be reading a romance book. The Next Always
