Not Another Romance Blog Discussion Group discussion

I am Rita :) College student by day, shirt folder at a store by night, and notorious vampire reader. I adore HR, but can get into just about anything with a good love story. My favorite authors (to name a few) are Lisa Kleypas, Johanna Lindsey, Alexandra Hawkins, Julia Quinn, etc etc... My "most dear" romance is It Happened One Autumn by Lisa . I refuse to let a definitive favorite because I've yet to read every book known to man and my next favorite is probably looming somewhere in my TBR pile!
I run Not Another Romance Blog and have been at it for 2 years.

Your turn! Who are you, what do you do, what do you read, what are your favorite books and authors. Do you blog of have a site people can follow? And add anything else you'd like!

Hi, I am Johanna! I'm a stay at home mom. I live in the country on the Oregon coast. My husband and I raise chickens and plant tons of vegtables. I'm also a book addict. I have been reading romance for over 20 years now. I love contemps, suspense and PNR. Historical romance are my fav though. A few of my favorite authors are Teresa Medeiros, Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, Christina Dodd, Johanna Lindsey, Mary Balogh, Betina Krahn, JAK, Kerrelyn Sparks, J.R. Ward, and Alexandra Hawkins. I think my top five favorite romance books are: Johanna Lindsey's The Magic of You. Teresa Medeiros' Heather and Velvet and Once an Angel. Pleasure for Pleasure by Eloisa James and Rainbows and Rapture by Rebecca Paisley. I don't blog but I follow many especially Rita's blog! LOVE it! I love sharing my thoughts and feeling about books.

So happy to see ya here Johanna! And what a great line up of authors, we share so many fans but then you've mentioned some I haven't gotten to yet, which is one of the whole points of this group. You've given me so many great recommendations in the past and I am looking forward to chatting it up with you about books on here as well :) have you checked out the first book I've put in the groups bookshelf? I recently reviewed it on the blog and adored it!

I have not had a chance to read Renee Bernard yet. This book looks amazing though and I will have to add it to my list! I'm in the middle of reading Vicky Dreiling's latest book her series How to Ravish a Rake! It is super fun so far and can't put it down for long. Vicky is one of my new favorite authors!

Hi everyone I'm Adria. I'm a long time fan of romance novels and while I will read Contemporary and Paranormal I absolutely adore Historical Romance, especially Regency. I have a distinct fondness for the following authors: Lisa Kleypas, Alexandra Hawkkins, Celeste Bradley, Lydia Dare, Gaelen Foley, Tessa Dare, Jennifer Haymore, Sabrina Jeffries, Elizabeth Hoyt, Nicole Jordan and Sarah MacLean.

I love reading and reviewing romance. I just started reviewing here on GoodReads and started a blog myself literally days ago, and hope I can accomplish what so many others have with their blogs.

I love talking to other romance fans about the genre and can get quite analytical about characters and story lines. I also love to give and get book recommendations from others.

Hello y'all!

I'm Melanie; long time romance reader, Rita's fan and a recent blogger (www.bookworm2bookworm.wordpress.com); reviewer for Romantic Crush Junkies eZine and Romance Reader At Heart websites; mom to two big kids [all out of the house]; married to an awesome man [12 yrs my junior-tottaly robbed the cradle]; my fave romance reads are set in regency, but I love romance in general, so Ill venture any time period, and occasional time travel, but I'm not a Paranormal lover. tried it, and didn't like it.

Rita, thanks for the invite :D

Hello, I'm Michelle Kelly. I adore romance books and my passion lead me to create my own blog of reviews too.
I love old romance just as much as I love the fast paced exciting UF. I am open to all kinds of romance but not so much the fan of YA. Just not into the younger adventures. I have 3 teen sons so my boys and their friends are adventure enough for me. lol Plus don't dig the young romance.

Favourite authors include Diana Gabaldon, Julie Garwood, Lisa Kleypas, KMM, Jill Shalvis, Margaret Ethridge...I yi yi yi that list could go on forever.

Look forward to reading about some of you and posts in this forum. Cheers!
