At least not when you're looking for a specific book. <br /><br />PLEASE do read the Gabaldon books! I have long wished for with whom to share those! I've read them three times, and sometimes find myself wanting to read them again. Kind of sick, actually. And she is writing another one.Caitilinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213231103801401687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362504288427942176.post-7055968002366441222011-09-15T09:20:28.892-05:002011-09-15T09:20:28.892-05:00I don't think it's the same author.

But I guess I'll check out those Diana Gabaldon books I've been eyeing now.<br /><br />And yes, you should read the Fever series for sure. Tons of books that fit more in other genres have romance in them. And besides, romance has some awesome forebears: helloooo Jane Austen and Fanny Burney! To me as long as it isn't a straight bodice ripper without much plot or character development, there's nothing to be looking over your shoulder about.<br /><br />And did you know that one of the reason e-readers have become so popular is because they grant anonymity to what you're reading due to lack of covers. Romance is one of the fastest growing e-book genres as a result.Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395955768375512338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362504288427942176.post-85492297240467659122011-09-15T08:04:04.547-05:002011-09-15T08:04:04.547-05:00Okay...I am reading those!

ALSO...I have the same qualms (is it romance or not) about one of my favorite series ever- Diana Gabaldon's books about a woman transported into 18th century Scotland. HEY, could this be the same woman under a different pen name? <br /><br />I loved the Gabaldon books, but was always ashamed to admit it to my artsy-fartsy friends, because they get categorized as romance. But for me, a huge history buff, they were great. Wonderful character development, a plot that moves you through the book, and it's a SERIES! <br /><br />Okay, so I am definitely reading these!Caitilinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213231103801401687noreply@blogger.com
