Addicted To Romance Novels? by Lola4eva(f): 4:07pm On Dec 04, 2007 |
im a lover of romance novels, m&b's take me less than a day and contemporary romance a little over a day but my passion lies with historical romance novels, a few of my favourite authors include: Judith Mcnaught Amanda Quick Nora Roberts (though more into contemporary) Johanna Lindsay so if ure into romance novels like i am, sign in 1 Like |

I hate romance. They are too boring and shallow for me. |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by Lola4eva(f): 3:27pm On Dec 10, 2007 |
sorry girl, some of us live and breathe romance novels, shallow yeah but they help take ur mind of a lot of things and they could actually help you learn a thing or two about passion |

It educates u on some certain things. Well I like reading it when less busy, or when trying to find out something about romance. |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by Seun(m): 6:34pm On Dec 10, 2007 |
Novels, like movies, don't educate. They entertain. If you want education, read a textbook. |

loveoge:lOL I love that. Lola4eva:They are just the creation of the writer and you can never get one fifth of that in a real setting. |

novels could be intresting but they can sometimes take a lot of time ,in my case i go for movies,where from the first 10mins i know if its going to be a great movie or not .i think the series rock,like lost,prison break,smallville and the other nice ones,but when i just want to chill out and relax no pressures i log on to http://enopaceel..com its a new refreshing site ,u should try it out. |

M&B, harlequin, silheoutte etc My first M&B was Stormy voyage (I stole it from my sister) Used be an ardent reader, but later I grew bored. Bored stiff of the prince charming stereotype, I started looking out for stronger themes where the guy was the don't mess with me kind of person, strong and not the gentle type. As I grew older, I found out I did not want to be serenaded by sweet, sweet pathetic love messages. I was even addicted to the extent I could be reading five books at a time. I would not get out of my room for like hours. I probably lost my conversational skills during those periods. Ironically, romance novels have actually made me cynical and sarcastic about love and men. Sorry to spoil everyone's thunder . |

@playmate thank you oh, if u hate romance this aint ur thread. I haven't read "the hier" im sure if u hunt it down, ull find it, enjoy |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by jkpretty(f): 8:52am On Dec 11, 2007 |
Seun: Point of correction, there is always a thing or two to learn in any creative piece of writing. Even if its romance, u will carefully pick out a thing or two. @Topic I'm bored of the likes of M&B series, I cannot even belief i was once a fan, the small pages it has sef annoys me. I prefer Bestseller romance now. The book has to be "big". i like to flip through pages, endlessly. And Hey! romance novels has a lot to teach. |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by Lola4eva(f): 9:37am On Dec 11, 2007 |
i feel you on the m&b thing, thou i still allow myself to pick them up now & then, and yes u learn enuff by reading them |

Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by ayeesha: 12:51pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
@ poster you are a girl after me heart i am a romance freak! its so bad that i have gotten my guy addicted to it too. i read all kinds but historical romances carry the day for me. love em to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by Lola4eva(f): 1:30pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
hmmmmmmmm ayeesha im not so sure romance is a guy thing, getting ur guy addicted too, thats a bit far off anyways glad u share my passion, historical romances are just so sweet, i wish they could adapt them into movies like they do the bestsellers, it'd be lovely to watch. |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by sweetchick(f): 1:57pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
I love all novels though I also read romantic suspense. My favourit writers are Ken Follett, John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson. My favourite romance writer is Linda Howard. I like Tami Hoag as well. Nora Roberts is not bad. By the way her novels have been made into novels and are being shown on DSTV |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by Lola4eva(f): 2:21pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
yeah i noticed that mnet was showing nora roberts adaptations (her contemporary ones) sometime last month, but the thing is they hardly make historical romance books into novels, i wonder why I also like linda howard, ive read some of her books |
Re: Addicted To Romance Novels? by ayeesha: 2:26pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
@ lola i was shocked me self the day he started dragging novels with me he`s quite a romantic fellow anyway though he claims to read them just for fun yeah, wish they could have such movies.with time maybe. havent read any of linda`s works but love amanda quick`s. am aiming at having a collection of all her works. |
