I suspect I'll only be dipping into this, it's not really my thing. Can anyone recommend some good free romance novels? Preferably ones you can be seen reading in p..."

If you'll ask me, the best romance books, that I know of, are the ones by Nicholas Sparks. he is definitely the king of romance and all his stories are very different from each other.
I'd recommend:
The Notebook, Dear John, Safe Haven and The Lucky One.

Spark's books are not sleazy and I really like the way he presents the story... And his books never have cheap meaningless sex.

It's no trouble at all, Heena! I am happy to hel..."

Hahaha! I understand... Generally, even I'm not interested in such books, but my dad's name is Napoleon so wanted to read about him :)
And My great-great Grandfather was in the German Army and fought for Hitler, so I wanted to read about him as well...

Thanks for the recs. :)

I'm done with #10 - Blondes, Books and Bourbon. It's an ARC so it's not yet listed on Goodreads, but it'll be by March 13 :)

Sounds good!

That's great Andrew! I like the concept of the series in alphabetical order. I'll check out these books for sure :)

In classics I'm currently reading Mr. Standfast

Thanks a lot Dagny... I'm sorry for troubling you, but you're the only person I know who has so much knowledge about classics... :)

I'll check all of 'em out and will let you know which one I'm gonna read first.

And by the sounds of it, it does sound good! I'll read it as well!

And we have both the months- non fiction (in june) and historical (in nov.)

Wow! That is fast Dagny! Great ya...
I wanted to ask you wether Project Gutenberg has non-fiction books also?
I wanna read about Napoleon and Hitler... do you know any books that I should read?

I'm liking it so far! :D

I'll also read it :)

Some other characters are showing up which ..."

That's good to know :)
I'm halfway Greenmantle and now I'm starting to enjoy it a lot :)
The starting part was a bit slow but the story has picked up a great pace now...
