Me too! And I had always read nonfiction (other than Stephen King) so this was a departure. Went from Twilight to JR Ward and a new world opened up!

The best part is that I only read it to prove to friends that it was ridiculous. Well...
Harry Potter, though, still a huge favorite and I reread them about once a year.

I totally understand! Bagels are a treat for me too as I am actually allergic to wheat - so it's only GF bagels for me now :'( and they just aren't the same!
BUT the last time I was in NYC I went to an amazing place called Modern Bread and Bagel with boiled GF bagels and they were AMAZING!!!

Welcome Mony!

I liked it more Little Women.
It's about cousin Rose and her 7 boy cousins growing up in Boston in late 1800s. Some of them fall love in love with her..."eyebrow wiggles*

With the romance books we see today...it might be regarded as a little bit, almost, kinda an extremely soft RH...omg, I hope Alcott didn't hear that. 😲
