I counted 500+ romance books in my library. I am not counting my kindle books.
If I was going to pick a superpower, it would be telekinesis. It would make cleaning easier :)
Beauty and the beast is my favorite storyline

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Way to go Leslie!!!
I'm a fellow romance lover too. Amanda Quick is an awesome writer...do you like Julie Garwood? Lisa Kleypas?

[Paris]

Congrats Leslie!!

I used to hate romance, didn't even want a little bit of it in my paranormal and urban fantasy. Now, I can't get enough of it. I think it's taken over my life...sadly, not in the way I'd like it to. lol

[~Melissa~]

Congrats Leslie ~ AZ - I'm kinda jealous as it was 10 degrees on my way to work this morning :)
Maybe someday we'll move away from the cold of Chi-town......

[Leslie]

I have a read a couple Julie Garwood. She was pretty good, but I didn't remember her stories and get urges to read them again. I don't think I have tried Losa Kleypas. Maybe I will one of these days.
Taken over my life is a good way to describe it
