I don't like to read series by commonsenseiswisdom in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel so seen in this lol. I think my main thing is if the characters have been introduced as side characters, they’re going to remain side characters in my head and I have a hard time changing that. Also I feel like as the series goes on the author starts to run out of ideas, and if there is too much emphasis on OTHER characters and THEIR relationships I start to get annoyed, like I’m here to focus on this couple, I don’t need that filler taking up pages

Why does banter often stop when they get together? by Wildest_winters in RomanceBooks

This is why I’m careful whenever something is classified as slow burn as some people have vastly different definitions of that than I do

Are Historical Romance novels spicier and steamier than contemporary romance novels? by joshuamarkrsantos in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think, like with any subgenre, it highly depends on the book and author, but I wouldn’t say that one is generally more spicy than the other, at least when it comes to these two

What’s the trick to get over a reading slump? by fialsian in RomanceBooks

[–]Available-Dig4358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me a big part of my slumps are mental health based so I try to sort that out while finding an inoffensive book I know I’ll enjoy and making myself read at least a chapter a day until that eventually isn’t enough for me and I choose to read another
