To read more historical romances, and also more stranded/survival romances.
To read at least 50 books and do a few reading challenges."

Those all sound great, Natalie.

Welcome. Like Netanella said, you can create your stats thread here.

Discord is a place to hang out where you can post messages and include photos and media. It would come in handy for group watches and stuff like that. It's just an idea.

That's really sad new about Julie Garwood. May she rest in peace.

Is anyone interested in a Discord Server for the group? It's kind of like an IM/chat function?

I'm just throwing it out there because it's a lot more interactive. No pressure either way.

Welcome to 2024. Have you come up with some ideas of what you want to read in 2024? Any specific goals? I will think of mine and post it.

I'm in a strange mental place, and I haven't been drawn to true romance books lately. I still love romance stories in general, but I need to have other stuff going on in my stories. Lately, I've really been drawn to fantasy with romance. I hope I can get back into reading romance. I feel like I will never stop loving historical and paranormal romance. For me, contemporary romance just doesn't get my interest.

I just finished reading Cassiel's Servant, and it reminded me how much I love celibate warrior/priest type heroes. Can you recommend some good books with this theme?

It doesn't have be a religious type of theme. I'm more interested in the celibacy and a warrior aspect.

No worries. I failed too. I only read 26 books last year.

Thanks, Alice!

I read Alice by Christina Henry, and I just fell hard in love with him. He's kind of insane and unpredictable, but also lovable and he'd do anything for Alice. That's pretty much one of my favorite kind of heroes right there.

Alice wrote: "I need to find a story to just get lost in. I love the Spy Master Series… and All The Pretty Monster Séries."

Who wrote these books, Alice?

It's always nice to go back to those characters that you bonded with to reignite the reading warm and fuzzies.
