First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember):

Favorite Romance Genre: Romantic historic ♥

Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I'm get used to read many books at the same time (regardless of whether the frames are radically different from each other) and despite I'm reading many of the them (majority in pdf), I could buy one more in physical.

Nice to meet you everybody :D!

Welcome Perla!! And now I’m hungry reading your favourite food!! Happens all the time 🤣

Hi Perla - I always have several books going at the same time. Usually one in ebook form and one in audio. I do better if they are different styles or genres, helps to keep the stories straight!

Favorite Food: It's a toss-up between Mexican and Italian

First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): hmm, I'm not sure, I have been reading them since I was 11, but I would say I first started knowing what the genre was when I read "Three Fates" by Nora Roberts many years ago

Favorite Romance Genre: Mystery/Thriller/Suspense Romance

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... from the moment I awake to the moment I sleep, every free min (sometimes unfree moments when I am multi-tasking with audiobooks), is spent reading.

LOL - I multitask with audio as well, but I've given up trying to listen when I mow the lawn. I was worried it affected my hearing LOL!!!

Haha Jane! Yes, I can see how one may question their audio abilities when trying to drown out a beastly lawn mower.

Yummmmm, Mexican and Italian... Not at the same time of course!

Adore Chinese food.

Hi everyone!

I'm a huge romance fan who has always been a sucker for the realistic, heartfelt novels. If you have any recommendations for me, please let me know.

I've always loved writing and my dream recently came true as I published a romance novel based on my own second chance love story.

I'm so glad to be part of this group and hear your suggestions for future reads!
