Nothing like decompressing from a stressful work week with a delicious romance novel. The cuteness, the angst, the swooning, the SPICE, the delusion it evokes from deep within your body will perform an incomparable spiritual rejuvenation. This weekend’s romance is Courting Samira by Amal Awad!
i just finished happy place by emily henry and feel all those sparkly feelings. reading romance books WILL make you feel lonely if you’re single but it will also set you free !!!! I love Love <3
I recently cured my reading slump with this book, Although It’s not the genre I usually prefer. Romance does help me get out of a reading slump. the cornier it is the better for me lol…
A “good” romance novel (thinking EmHen, maybe “Practice Makes Perfect” by Sarah Adams, “the bodyguard” by Katherine Center) does not (completely) contribute to brain atrophy, it makes you believe in romantic love even though you haven’t seen it in a while, it makes you cry because wow to be known by another, how special. But a shitty romance novel (thinking more along the lines of Romantic Suspense, “The Obsession” by Nora Roberts, “The Crush” by Sandra Brown)… now these are fun to read, and not in a Colleen Hoover Hate Read kind of way. The stories are ridiculous, but they have HIGH STAKES. These people are GOING THROUGH THINGS. And the authors do a great job of telling a compelling story. Romance with Stakes! How fun!
I do not need a new wardrobe, packing cubes, new toiletry bag, etc. I have everything I need. Reminding myself of this in the heat of the moment feels like coming down from a frenzy I never wanted to have in the first place.
Prosciutto, salami, etc. started in a cold pan and left to crisp and render their fat. They shrink up and become crispy and delicate and cheek-puckering in their salinity. Highly recommend accompanying with toasted bread and an over easy egg fried in the oils in the pan.
