Q:   Do you enjoy reading romance novels? If so, which romance trope is your favorite?
A: I do, but not very often. If I do, it's usually a rom com or a Harlequin novel. Harlequin novels are consistently good for a quick read and I get over slumps with rom coms. They are often light reads, even YA and I like it. Just not more than thriller, mystery, horror..... Halloween before Valentines, folks. At least here.

    I don't usually enjoy romance novels because I find them so predictable. Or maybe I just pick bad ones. I should really pay attention to more romance novel reviews to figure out the ones I would like.

    I really need to check out some of these short stories. This one looks particularly interesting to me, partly because I've had my eye on Harrow's other novels for a while now. A shorter story might be a great introduction. Have a great weekend!

    I'm laughing at Halloween over Valentine's Day. Most of my books have strong romantic sub-plots, so I feel like they are almost equal in my reading choices.

    This sound so good! I have read a couple other books by Alix E. Harrow and enjoyed them.

    I find romcoms are good slump breakers for me too.

    Have a great weekend! Thank you for hosting. :-)

    I don't read traditional romance anymore since I started reading queer ones, but the tropes are pretty similar

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
