Oh, wait, that's pretty much...West Side Story.<br /><br />Oh, wait, that's pretty much just R&J, isn't it? (Hee.)<br /><br />I'm actually not a romance reader, but I couldn't resist posting the joke above. Let's see... I'll just say how happy I was that the Harry Potter series ended with two couples getting together who absolutely HAD TO BE together forever. It would have been so unsatisfying if Rowling hadn't given us that epilogue so that we knew for sure things would turn out right in that area.CKHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741681893677604323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-83242943043091737982009-09-04T21:20:19.889-05:002009-09-04T21:20:19.889-05:00Tara, I'm NOT a paranormal/fantasy fan, actual...Tara, I'm NOT a paranormal/fantasy fan, actually I'm ANTI paranormal (in taste only... not principle)<br /><br />BUT! I liked Twilight. Go figure! I watched it like 5 times when I rented it... mostly consecutively too. <br /><br />Somewhere a few months ago I did a post on it too. Okay, you made me go and find it. LOL<br /><br />http://reflectionsbykrista.blogspot.com/2009/03/twilight-zone.html<br /><br />Suffice to say, it's the one "paranormal" movie I actually watch!Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-90186353128869694032009-09-04T21:10:44.063-05:002009-09-04T21:10:44.063-05:00I love your excitement for your book.

I'm a paranormal/fantasy fan, so I'm going with <i>Twilight</i>.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-69653803061874369962009-09-03T18:22:07.322-05:002009-09-03T18:22:07.322-05:00Ohhh, just realized I didn't share MY all time...Ohhh, just realized I didn't share MY all time favorite romance!<br /><br />And now that I think about it... I really have no idea. I like so many of them! Francine River's Mark of the Lion series completely tops my list, as does Redeeming Love and Atonement Child...<br /><br />But I also liked the more sweet romances like Lori Wick's Sophie's Heart, historicals like Deeanne Gist's Bride in the Bargain. <br /><br />Not to mention funny lady Tamara Leigh's Faking Grace and Splitting Harriet. <br /><br />Ugh, yeah, I just can't settle one one.<br /><br />Horrible writer confession: I'm NOT all about the classics. I tried to force myself to read Wuthering heights and failed. And, don't slap me, but I've never read Pride and Prejudice, nor seen the movie. Guess I should rectify that, huh.Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-25161388038961067472009-09-03T10:13:58.931-05:002009-09-03T10:13:58.931-05:00Calico Canyon...I loved the romance in Mary Connea...Calico Canyon...I loved the romance in Mary Connealy's Calico Canyon.Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-60875638990067865562009-09-03T10:08:50.262-05:002009-09-03T10:08:50.262-05:00i haven't read a single love finds you book ye...i haven't read a single love finds you book yet. wonder why that is?<br />sounds like a good read...maybe i've just never seen any in the bookstore or library.<br /><br />as for my favorite romance...i'm a big P&P fan, but here recently, the vamps have taken over! i love twilight's story. it's so haunting and powerful. to say it's my favorite is tough...but i certainly find myself pondering it. another favorite is the Phantom of the Opera.

Jody, I have many of the book...Gwen, GREAT choice!<br /><br />Jody, I have many of the books. Three I've started and couldn't keep reading because they were way too slow (and yes, as you said, the back-story issue) but many others I loved. Just goes to show that there is the whole subjectivity to the matter.<br /><br />I will say, I'd definitely label them more "sweet romance" that isn't meant to grip you at every page but more a light read, which is totally fine. Sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for when I need to relax:-)<br /><br />That said, I'm still looking at my own WIP with a critical eye, because I'd not call it sweet really... It may be that I end up tweaking it a bit to try and market to other publishers if Summerside doesn't like it. We shall see!Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-415171995650184562009-09-03T05:59:56.424-05:002009-09-03T05:59:56.424-05:00I started on of the Love Finds You books and could...I started on of the Love Finds You books and couldn't keep going. I'm not sure why. Maybe it moved too slowly. Or as we talked about in your post yesterday, maybe there was too much back story. I'm not sure. But I'm sure yours will definitely be great!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-59180729491086347192009-09-03T05:23:26.722-05:002009-09-03T05:23:26.722-05:00Hi Krista,

Read it at least a dozen times, seen all the movie interpretations.<br /><br />Mr. Darcy is dreeeeeamy. In honor of him, I call my husband Mr. Stewart on the internet (not at home though). Just a silly thing I do...<br /><br />Have a great Thursday!Gwen Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062502118990955905noreply@blogger.com
