Jeanieandjayha, I am not debating.
God is a he and he's not changeable.

that's how you have to be...God is such a personal choice...but it's a choice...

Eugiene, because I have said that God is a he, doesn't mean that I am debating with anyone.
The Bible states that God is a he.
A math book states that 2 + 2 = 4.
I'm not looking for an answer to this question.
Question: Should I believe that 2 + 2 = 4, because a math book states that 2 + 2 = 4?
Mod
Sex doesn't sell my way. "
If this is the case, then I'll have to agree, Arch. I know of a few who are focused on romance and not erotica though but the authors are usually spread out. Some even delve into both but offer a few romance focused books (I found one good author who did this and she's epublished). Even though Genesis Press cut down on their IR offerings, they're still an option and I believe they go to libraries as well. Plus new authors are coming up with some interesting offerings so I don't think it'll completely move over to erotica just a majority may have that focus.
Mod
You can also tell the authors this directly to let them know there's a demand there. Even if the publishing company won't offer it, there's still a chance they have their print rights and are able to use those to bring their work to you in print format whether in short run or print on demand.

I have a shelf for boss/employee relationship theme called "sexual harassment" here on goodreads. It's a joke b/c I always think of those cheesy sexual harassment videos and modules they made us do at work.
Mod
I think the marketing needs to be more clear about the sweet IR books. I hear about the erotic ones a lot more, and I do some shopping, believe me. That's why I hope members will keep adding books to the shelf (hint hint).
Mod
I found about about Douglass' wife on Wikipedia. They actually have some good articles on African American history.

I agree. And not to open up the shelf debacle again (lol) but I notice the group shelves don't have a "sweet" section. Can we still add that shelf because that would be tremendous help.

i just had to walk away.

I'm in an online class now. It started yesterday, but I've ignored it. I guess your conversation is my sign to log my butt into the class....sigh.

Mod
Ehug for encouragement, Loni. Pretty soon I need to get my Masters Degree in Public Health. I'll probably do online. I'm so not motivated to do an online course.
Mod
That would be awesome, Danielle. You can definitely kick butt at it.
All this class talk is really motivating me to go back to school. I took some time off and am now looking at options for where to sign up to get my Masters in Psychology. I love Psychology so much. I just have to pinpoint a target and then charge forward.
Thank you all. I need to stop complaining. This is actually my last class for my master's degree in accounting and finance. Hallelujah!!
I don't know what possessed me to go into accounting but I'm glad to see the light at the end.
Rae, I've always liked psychology. I don't know why I never majored in it. Well now that I think on it, you need to be a great listener...and that I am not. I have the attention span of a toddler.
Mod
I need to get an MPH to advance into the field I'm looking at (epidemiology. I'd love to work for the CDC). Sadly, just a DVM ain't enough. If I had the money and the time, I would go to medical school. I'm wishing I had just done the Master's degree while I was in school, but I didn't get a lot of guidance when I was in vet school. It was sink or swim.

I know it works for me, even though I don't date much as a result. I wouldn't want that stress and I wouldn't want people at work knowing stuff about me they don't need to know. People can be vindictive when things end badly.

Woo, education! I love learning, not so much the technicalities. *wince* There are some fields in law still going strong though. Patent law is one, LOL. I hear it's quite boring, but you do what you got to do.
LOL, Danielle, I love that sexual harassment shelf. I probably wouldn't start a relationship with a coworker either, but I don't mind reading about it. Maya, that vid is hilarious! LMAO, I can't believe I haven't seen that before as much Family Guy as I watch.
Mod
There's no need to apology Eugenia. When I have read your statement, I have seen "debate". I was making it generally known that I wasn't debating.
Generally speaking. A lot of people believe that a person is debating with them, if that person states something opposite of what they have said.
I'm not a debater!

Thanks Danielle. :-) I'd really love to help people as much as I can. Even if it's just lending an ear. Plus the the human mind fascinates me so much.
