Anna, when I was a young teenager I would by pass justa bout everything to read my books. I even stayed up til the wee hours of the morning on school nights! The shame! haha! Most teens were out TPing houses and sneaking out and doing all kinds of stuff but not me ☺

I've had a fwe "burnouts" through the years. Times when I just couldn't read. Didn't feel like reading! Gasp!! Those are the times I've made myself get out and enjoy life.

She has had problems with it for a while. She injured it about a year ago and it was xrayed - no breaks. But she has complained about it hurting so we took her to the doctor finally and they suspect a ligament may be torn.

What a long day! Had to take my daughter to a doctor's appointment. Ortho type. She ended up having to get a removable type "cast". Some kind of plastic thingy they mold to her arm so she can't move it. We were there about 3 hours. It's an hour and 1/2 drive to and another hour and 1/2 back. Long day ☺

That's funny, Carolyn. Seems like I remember reading something somewhere a while back that complained about the lack of realism in romance novels. Like the hero and heroine never had bathroom breaks or worried about morning breath, etc.... Now we are complaining when the author does address those issues. I personally don't want too much detain regarding those elements. I like to assume they took care of those things and move on.

A lot of Jill Shalvis' heroes are very sexy to me. Especially her Lucky Harbor guys. Kristen Ashley has some sexy fellers too.

I tolerate HFN but those are not part of my favored books. I love a satisfying HEA along with the epilogue and everything. I love imagining them at 70 years old or more, still holding hands and still in love. I tell my daughter if you can imagine yourself with a certain guy at 70 years old, sitting on the front porch watching the grass grow then he could be the one.

I want mostly escapism. I want a story that's not totally impausible but not too much realism. Maybe 80% escapism and 20% realism. But if I had to choose between 100% of either then it would be escapism.

lol @ Chairmaine.

Welcome, Kimmi!

ok, I admit I love pop music but seriously my favorite is classic rock. But I don't like Justin Beiber.

Welcome, Jamie! You're here now so jump on in!

Thanks, Hazel!

I will read excerpts to my hubby every now and then. But he would never read one. He's not a reader. He's more of the outdoorsy, "got to be doing something outside" type. And I'm more of the inside, "want to be comfortable with AC and no bugs" type.

Congrats, Amie!

Hmmm, I have had to break out the ole dictionary before when reading a romance. And I love having the internet available to look up places and things mentioned in them (i.e. art, historical events).

Well, I have read a few that are! lol But no, most romances actually have plots and are very well written.

I understand what you mean. For whatever reason the romance genre seems to be considered one of the lowest forms of novels. "Trash" as some call it. Even here on Goodreads you can look at the shelf names and find many people who actually have a shelf called Trashy Romances or something along those lines. I think people are becoming more confident in reading them in public and not hiding their reading choices but many years ago, we all hid in our homes with our collections out of view from visitors. Our bookshelves filled with the "better" choices of classic or intellectual reads. I remember back in high school we brought our books in with us but only got them out with others in our group. Never in front of a teacher or one of the other students. I think it probably stems from the fact that men once ruled the printing world. Men of the times would have frowned on the romances as fluff and not appropriate for reading. I'm sure they even forbade their wives and daughters from reading the "trash".

Welcome, Carolin!!

Welcome, Virginie!
