Reading Romance

I love to read. There is very few times you will see me that I do not have a book in my hands! *s* At last count, I had over 1800 books! What could be better than a good book on a lazy Saturday afternoon? To me, NOT a thing. Well okay, maybe a thing or two, but a good love story comes real close! *lol* My favorite subject matter is romance. The hotter and steamier, the better I like it! *eg* If you are interested in trying some great authors or need some good links for books and such, give the following a try. I hope you all enjoy the following list! *s*
