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

I hate romance.
They are too boring and shallow for me.

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

And then expect guys to behave exactly the way the guys in the book behave (all love dovey)

@loveoge, something like that

It educates u on some certain things.

Well I like reading it when less busy, or when trying to find out something about romance.

Novels, like movies, don't educate. They entertain. If you want education, read a textbook.

They are just the creation of the writer and you can never get one fifth of that in a real setting.

Not trying to sound like a pastor but do you know that romance novel actually have a bad effect on your mind because you may sometimes begin to feel the strong urge to have sex after ready such,so my dear you better be careful!!!!!

I HATE ROMANCE THEY ARE STUPID, VAIN AND DELUSIONAL! GROW UP!

@poster
johanna lindsey is also my fav,i also luv day leclaire.
am hoping i cn get one of lindsey's novels the heir,av u read it,i read d summary its luvly.

if u 8 romance novels u shuld no this ain't ur thread.

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

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.

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

@pster
[color=#990000][/color] was just leavin!
i`ll be back

i am not a lover of novels.

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.

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

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

@poster
