The Book Nook

I am a book nerd, and I welcome all other book nerds. I read Romantic fiction. If there isn't a steamy love connection going on, I can't read it. I know. Sue me. I try to post frequently, but with real life intervening, who knows when my next post will be. I post to bring notice to awesome books, and I also don't mind book suggestions based off of books I have read, so please, LET ME KNOW.

Please explain to me why I'm reading a book that quite literally has the smallest chapters ever. This "chapter" is only two pages. Why???? It's not like the chapters have scene changes in them!
