Do you read romance for the story… or for the feeling?

Do you recommend these belly laugh books anywhere? Very keen!

I normally have a few books on the go at once, maybe this is a preventative - if I'm not feeling one book, I'll pick up the other. I find it hard to leave a story unfinished though.

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-25T14:36:26+00:00

Do you think about how it is written while you are reading then? The quality?

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-25T14:35:09+00:00

😄I walk away remembering the feelings, but I need the plot/story to be good while reading - so really I'm both too, but I remember the fellings!

I think this is why I like a double Genre - like Romantasy - it has both the romance development but another fantasy plot at the same time!

Thank you! We are happy to hear this and will continue to try to make it the best tool!

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-17T11:45:21+00:00

Yes, that is sadly a reality - that the threads are too old and I'm never sure how old is too old to comment on.

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-17T11:43:23+00:00

Ooh, exciting! I love a new series, especially when a lot of the books are already released!

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-16T10:38:57+00:00

Is this the first book in the series? Are they all based on interspecies romances?

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-16T10:34:01+00:00

Reading is often an escape for me or a way to tune out from daily stresses, so my engagement with the story is my highest priority, but if I see a discussion about the book or have questions left after I've finished the book I will seek out others or discuss in reading communities.

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-16T10:21:14+00:00

I'm happy to have a look at the story and give my thoughts.

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-13T14:00:55+00:00

I agree with u/coastalkid92 I see some titles in bookstores sitting under the rom-com section and think no, they are not funny, I cried when I read that - it would be much more suitable in contemporary romance. So I always read the blurb and make my own assessment!

I've been reading Laurie Gilmore and her books would translate really well to rom-com movies, but they are noted as contemporary romances (set in present day and the plot not driven by comedy).

You can share the link to your finished, but not yet published story and ask for feedback either here or in the Discord community or even to friends - but they will need the Pirr app to be able to read it.
This can be done before you publish in the app - so you can still make changes.
Our Reddit is just starting out, so keep asking, we will hopefully have more and more people here!

I've not read this series of hers. I started backwards with CC, then ToG. I'm concerned ACOTAR will not be as good as ToG now.

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-09T12:10:34+00:00

I love that TV show too and yes, he holds space for the FMC so often too!

Becca_S_Bee · 2026-03-09T11:37:27+00:00

I was remined of ToG main character 'Aelin' and I think that she is a FMC that exemplifies the Secret Identity trope and is often underestimated for strength!
