PROMPT: Do you like to read romance novels? Who are your favourite fictional couples? Which characters from different books or series do you think would be perfect for each other?
Happy Friday!! Ohh, love is in the air! I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your significant other 🙂
Do you like to read romance novels?
Let me tell you, I was not a fan of this genre AT ALL when I started my reading journey back in high school more than 2 decades ago. I was a hardcore YA fantasy and Sci-fi reader. Think Shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater, Twilight (yes, I did like it), The Mortal Instruments, The Fifth Wave, Hunger Games, etc. This was my jam; I didn’t even like there to be any romance in my books back then, the less there was of it, the better. Romance was just not my cup of tea.
However, the older I got, the more interested I became in this genre and all the branches it comes with ( I try to avoid erotica and SMUT, no judgment if you like them). I find myself reading more romance-oriented books than ever. Especially this year, I have officially started my romance era! And I kid you not, this is not a myth, apparently, when a woman gets past a certain age, her taste changes, and I am no exception to that haha
So, the short answer is yes, I do read and love this genre, but I am a newbie in this territory.

I’m totally blanking on all the books I’ve read right now, my brain is not cooperating 😂 I probably haven’t read enough romance to pick a favourite couple/s… or maybe I just don’t have one yet.
Although the only couple I could think of is from A Discovery of Witches: Diana and Matthew, does this count?
Same for the other question, the only characters in my head come from fantasy books, haha. Maybe my brain will surprise me with an answer one day!
