The title of this blog comes from a funny family story. My
mother-in-law is an avid reader, though not all of her reading selections are quite
so literary. As a proper southern belle, and frequent traveler, she would never be caught
dead with questionable book in her lap on a long flight. So she keeps these
special books “protected” in a red dust jacket which she has had for years. One
day, looking over at her on a long flight to visit the grandkids, my
father-in-law exclaimed “When are you *ever* going to finish that book!”.
Whether you have been reading tawdry romance novels since
you could snag them from your mother’s night table, or if you are new to the
genre due to the widespread popularity of E.L. James’ 50 Shades of Grey trilogy,
you have come to the right place. Here we can chat about our favorite books,
when and how we discovered them, and how they shaped our feelings and our
sexuality, if we share the good parts with our partners...I could go on and on. And I will...
I am looking forward to this journey and hope you will all
chime in so that I am not the lone voice here.
