I apparently have a problem

[monkeybabe]

I love trashy romance novels. Love them. Patrick makes fun of me for it on a regular basis. We've started doing some late Spring cleaning of sorts and took almost all of my books and a bunch of Patsy's books to the local bookstore that buys used books. They bought most of Patrick's books and some of mine, but I brought the majority of my books back home, since they have way too many used romance novels in stock currently. The plan was to take whatever was left over to Goodwill, but Patsy wants me to try selling them on CL first. I counted them so I could put that number in the ad. 110. I have 110 romance novels after selling a bunch of them to the bookstore. Yeah...

LOL, thats funny. I've always wanted to read one, but DH thinks they're stupid/hilarious, so he'd totally give me grief for it.

So, is there every a plot in cheesy romance novels? Or just all sex scenes?

[monkeybabe]

The ones I read actually have very little sex in them. There's usually some event going on with some problem needing to be solved and the two people fall in luuuuurve.

OMFG WITH THE PB BEARS!

I used to secretly read my mom's romance novels as a teenager. They taught me quite a bit.

But yeah, she had a TON--mostly Nora Roberts and Jude Devereaux. I'm not sure where they fall on the "trashiness" scale.

If Goodwill won't take them, you could see if a local hospital might want them. Some hospitals have libraries for patients.

Ooooo, Nora Roberts are good ones!! Perfect mix of sex and storyline.

[monkeybabe]

Yeah, most of mine are Nora Roberts. My brother calls them "porno books", but can never find the sex scenes because there aren't that many of them in the books and sometimes it's more like a paragraph suggesting they had sex.

I used to read tons of trashy novels, they were my total guilty pleasure, but I mostly just got them from the library, it was surprisingly well stocked.

I used to also read my moms Nora Roberts and Danielle Steel books!

[Deleted]

I've read a few Nora Roberts books. I guess I didnt consider them ultra romancey. I think I'm thinking of the cheesy ones with Fabio on the cover. haha

Love trashy romance novels. I'm a fan of historical ones. Once I got a kindle I put them all on there to hide my shame

I like Victorian era romances.

I have a problem too, then. I have upwards of 100+ as well. I love them. DH likes me to read them because he says they put me in "the mood"!

Nora is one of our authors at my old job. I always read the whole book when I had one of her's to design. So addicting.
