I can't stop reading romance, and here's why...
It’s not unusual for me to go through periods of being hyper focused on one genre. I might read 12 historical fiction novels and then not touch another one for a year. Or I’ll get in a streak of horror mysteries until one just creeps me out to my core! Does this happen to anyone else?
This summer has been all romance and it feels like I can’t stop.
The current trend started with the romantic and lighthearted Istanbul destination love saga:
5/5 would recommend to all history, romance, mystery, fiction readers. Then I jumped into…
And Marissa Meyer had my attention for a while. Thank you, princesses, I’ll be taking my wee hours of the morning back! The next book is still playing in my mind:
The sisters of The Nightingale loved so deeply and that made their losses so hard for the readers. Real women went through those trials during the wars of Europe and that is hard to imagine. The next book I picked had to be completely fictional and whimsical. V.E. Schwab delivered on that, with her own hefty dose of tragedy, too. The ending of this book elicited some major feelings:
Schwab’s book was complicated and beautifully tragic. I want everyone to read it. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue went on to my selective “re-read during moody times” list. The series that is catching me by surprise for it’s incredible love story is Rin Chupeco’s:
Tea and Kalen did not have it easy and yet they pursued one another. Chupeco wrote their fictional story so wonderfully. As I finish up the triology, I am starting the search for my whirlwind romance. If you love a crazy, complicated love story then please share it with me in the comments. And I’ll take you up on reading it next. Happy reading!
