Haha usually! But sometimes I try to sneak in a few pages while walking in between rooms.


Connie (Rain Check and Read) (raincheckandread) Birthday: October 23rd. I'm on the cusp!
Favorite Color: Orange!
Favorite Food: Tacos all the time.
First Romance Novel: Well, the first true only romance novel I read was The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare
Favorite Romance Genre: Fantasy and Contemporary, so far, but I am just starting! I love Scottish Highlanders, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, fated mates, and arranged marriage.
Finish the Line: I know I'm a book addict because.... my personal library just keep getting bigger and bigger....

message 2855: by Amal (new)

Amal Birthday: 18th of August!
Favorite Color: I love all things blue.
Favorite Food: Mm...I like... chicken.
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Honestly, I am not sure if this counts as actual romance but Twilight from the Mediator series by Meg Cabot was the first book I read, aged 14, that had elements of romance, like a french kiss- I was intrigued. And a bit shocked. It was the way the kiss was described that piqued my curiosity (not that there is anything wrong with the description, I guess I wasn't taking it well since it was my first time and all). I wasn't sure I wanted to read something like that ever again, but well XD I totally overcame my weirdness after a few books and then I was a goner.
Favorite Romance Genre: Ah! Hard to pinpoint an exact genre, but I like anything that isn't too graphic... not a huge fan of erotica. I do like stories with a love/hate dynamic The Hating Game, sweet teacher/student relationship such as Because of Him and Slammed, and also certain paranormal or fantasy books with a kickass romance (Embrace, Obsidian and Vampire Academy). The last ones are few and far in between, and I am not so lucky to find anything as brilliant these days.
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because... I am always reading something or the other! My bookshelves are running out of space and my vast e-library saw the latest e-book arrival only two hours ago.

message 2859: by Sophia. (last edited Sep 15, 2020 01:23PM) (new)

Sophia.  (sophiaspaperbacks) | 3 comments Birthday: 9th July 93'

Favourite Colour: Purple, but I never wear it, I love it for what it symbolises, and for it's beauty.

First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Johnny Be Good by Paige Toon

Favourite Romance Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotic Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance, and Fantasy Romance. I love the Billionaire romance trope, Alpha male romances, Marriage for One made me love the marriage of convenience trope, its now one of my favourite books.

Really I read any romance trope and will love it if the story is amazing, the passion and love are explosive, and the characters are intriguing. One's I don't like include step siblings, sports romances, and I'm not a fan of college romances (I'm too old).

Finished the line: I know I am a book addict because...: I'm always reading... My family thinks I should adopt a few cats to complete the look. I think that's simply rude, plus I hate cats.

OMG Pam - that's horrid! You poor thing. What a dreadful experience. From what I can work out, there's no rhyme or reason as to who it will affect. And the journey back to health can be tough.

Sending you healing thoughts! 🤗

Pam (txpam) | 142 comments Pam from Maine... I wear a mask all the time out in public ... but I think I got it on our vacation to Florida... possibly on a very crowded AMERICAN Airlines flight. They did no social distancing... 😩

Wow, I thought airlines were doing distancing. That is disappointing. I certainly did not mean to insinuate that you were not wearing a mask. I have family who do not and it upsets me that they are not taking this whole thing seriously. Very frustrating!!

They realized how serious it can get when I had my adventure in the hospital. But All 7 know how to pray... so does my Husband and lots of friends and family! Prayer saved my life!❤️
