Its the same thing! You don't approve of imagination I presume? Reality suits you?

ummmmmm realistic fiction?? yeah more ish. kk more ROMANCE suggestions. start a fantasy thread if ya want girly





christian romances

Maybe I will :)

kk!

Christian romance fiction can be really fun to read. But other times, really repetitious. You feel like you have read the story before... but written by a different author. My fave romances to read are historical Christian fiction, because then there is more going on than just 'falling in love' and all those silly misunderstandings that almost tear couples apart before they finally solve them at the end. Those are sooo annoying.

LOVE that series :) yes silly passionate YA ones tsk tsk

heart that too

Julie Klassen's books are pretty good. Most of them are set in the regency time period.

Another version of East. The love story was cute, but it got a bit weird.

im reading GIRL IN THE GATEHOUSE

How are you liking it so far, Caro?

I found there were some slow spots in there, but I really liked it overall.

romances are too cliche now seriously. love triangles and dramatic falling in love. it's so dumb.

its getting harder to find good romances they either make me roll my eyes or gag. sometimes both

I like the Mark of the Lion series. :) Redeeming Love, not so much. But I guess it's because there wasn't really anything in there that I could relate to.

I really do hate love triangles. And I like the romance to happen slowly, gradually - it makes it so much sweeter, IMO. Suddenly being in love, after their first or second meeting - with Caro: roll eyes and gag.

haha!! yay we r in agreement. OR puppy love where the only reason they like each other is bc they r "pretty" or "cute" MAJOR ROLLING EYES

YEAH! "He's hot! I think I'm in love!"

EXACTLY soooo annoying. im reviving a billion threads lol

thats called bella in twilight but she really did fall for him. proof: she was "numb" for four months when he left her

*sigh*

lol I read all the twilight books, in grade 7/8. Wish I didn't. But it was the 'rage' during that time. EVERYBODY was reading it, so I was like, I need to see what the fuss is all about! I guess I did like it... but it wasn't worth it.

Ugh.... I watched some of the movies (so I could laugh at them) and heard the entire synopsis and its a pathetic piece of literature containing no value at all.

If it came out now... I def wouldn't read it. You're right, it's not a valuable piece of literature!
I started watching 'Twilight'... it was terrible. Ended up turning it off, and watching Hannah Montana instead... which is saying A LOT.

VAL AND I USED TO ARGUE ABOUT TWILIGHT ALL THE TIME!!!!! I WAS NEGATIVE SHE WAS POSITIVE

My parents are strongly against those kinds of books. So I wasn't even allowed to read them, but I did anyway. Rebel right here, lol. ;P

haha really?? mom said NO i didnt...lol

Well they did say NO Harry P, and I've never read HP, and I'm not planning on it either. :)

thats good my mom said okay but i thought NO!

Sorry to bring this up again, but its so sad how HP is so misunderstood. People hear all this crap about it and... no one realizes how much those books have helped people, including me. They're not what people say....I'm sorry I just had to say something.

That's fine. We have our own tastes and preferences and views on things. I just don't want to read any book pertaining to witch craft. I still feel guilty for reading vampire books.

The witchcraft is not a big thing in the books at all. Its about friendship and love. The main theme is that love conquers all darkness. That's exactly what Jesus did. He conquered all sin with His love. I know this sounds flimsy, but if you only knew...
