Hello everyone! My name is Oletha and I am an avid Romance reader. I have read thousands of books. I have a lot of people asking what the books I have read or am reading are about and if they are any good. I also have people asking for recommendations. Despite all of that, I rarely get the chance to wax poetic about all of the good books I have read.
That is what I want to accomplish with this blog. I want to share my love of romance novels with like minded people. I want to have discussions about books I liked and didn’t like and how I came to that conclusion. I want to recommend books and have books recommended to me.
As I said, I love romance novels; whether they are romantic suspense, horror, historical or mysteries. I don’t like sci-fi or westerns unless there is romance. I have no interest in non-fiction, but I adore the paranormal. Books by authors like Jayne Ann Krentz are like drugs to me. I admit I have a problem.
I started reading romance novels in my sophomore year of high school, when my English teacher brought in books from the publishing company her husband worked to the classroom. The books didn’t have covers, but that didn’t matter. I read so many so quickly, that my teacher started giving me first choice of books. Needless to say it was love at first read. Because of the number of books read, I have been told I have a knack for picking out good reads. I am a diva when it comes to the novels I read. I like a certain writing style and I refuse to compromise on that. I like what I like.
So join me in the madness that is my obsessive love of romance novels. I will be reviewing the first romance novel I have ever read which happens to be a historical romance.
Read you later! (Sorry for the lame puns, I hope they get better.)
