hub: "I found this debate between Barbara Cartland and another romance author... Jackie Collins."

me: "Jackie Collins didn't write romance!"

hub: "What did she write?"

me: ".... trash."

😳🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

How would you describe Jackie Collin's books in a non-judgemental way? Are they in fact romance? 🤯

Read an old Harlequin, Only You, in which the office girls all sneer because the hunky hero's secretary must be 50 and "what a waste!"

That puts her maybe 14 years older than him... a smaller age difference than between him and the 18 year old heroine. 🤢

#WhatchaReading ? I started Early Morning Riser... I'm not sure it's romance? But I really like the voice and I'm pretty sure a romance reader rec'd it so am hoping for the best.

Also read Four Weeks in Winter by Jane Donnelly, which is available from the Internet Archive. Enjoyable oldie, with the main character's boss acting as her fake fiance to protect her from a jerky old flame.

Started the new Olivia Atwater but I don't seem to be in a gothic mood.

#WhatchaReading ? I read A Mother for Christmas, a kindle freebie. A bit mawkish, but I can't say I wasn't warned by the title. The prose was quirky and had some personality to it. Could have used more payoff at the end.

For those of you who miss the Lemon Drop days on my blog - SHE'S BACK! What happens when a romance loving 13 year old who doesn't like graphic descriptions accidentally picks up a book that is most definitely not her thing https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2023/12/lemon-drop-cartoon-covers-and-smexy.html #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

Some of my friends are shocked that I love romance novels. That is usually because they knew that I like to read #Books on urbanism medicine, geopolitics and even finance. But those who thought I only read romance are shocked to learn my #reading palate extends into "heavy topics". It is like the twain shall never meet.
I also read #Comics #SciFi and #Fantasy btw.
I basically read anything interesting 😉

Idk. Let’s see how this goes 🤞🏻
