message 5: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments so, the cover needs to have couple?

Not just two girls (sisters) or a brother and sister?

but couple books, right?? Just wanted to make sure :)


message 6: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments A boy and a girl :) If the same gender, the book has to be a GLBT

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Gis, you used the words "make out!" Struck my funny bone lol You know I can tell if it is a couple without faces! Lol

Gisbelle | 25787 comments You have one dirty mind, Vic! I didn't mean that "make out" :D

Yoly | 642 comments Me too!

Any suggestion? I don´t read romantic books since I was 11 or something like that (and I didn´t like it that much).

So please give a good one ;)

That is not dirty! It was like a pun, so I laughed cuz it was cute. I am not the one who reads books of erotica, Gissy!! LOL So now who has a dirty mind, huh? Fess up!

Have you read Between the Lines (Between the Lines, #1) by Tammara Webber ? I'm not a big fan of romantic books either, but I really liked this series :D

Have you read [bookcover:B..."


No, Jalyn. I will try to find it in spanish. Thank you very much.

Jalyn (jalynnie) You're welcome! You can pick books that aren't romance books as long as the cover has a couple on it. Gisbelle has Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis listed as an example and it is really good too :) It's more of a dystopian/sci-fi kind of book and I loved it!

But I already found "Between the lines" in spanish so I will give it a chance. And maybe I will be a little romantic on Valentine´s Day haha

Gisbelle | 25787 comments lol.. I love to see that :)


message 23: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments :D Yay! go Janna!!! :D


message 24: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments I know it may seem silly, but is it possible to make a minimum page limit on this of like 100 page books?

or should I start downloading all those free 30 pages or less erotic novellas ;)


message 25: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Good point! I think 100 or more should be acceptable. Too short is not ok :)


message 26: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments phew! thank you!!! :D Okay, no books <100 pages! Done!


message 27: by Gisbelle (new)
