Death By Romance

A review blog type thing for looking at romance novels in my (quite feminist) opinion... or basically me just reviewing romance novels for why they are awesome or awful. Suggestions welcome!

There really was no reason she should be doing this today...

So, I came upon the idea of reading romance novels of all sorts because I was becoming increasingly bored with them. There seems to be a pattern in today's modern romance and I wanna spend my time looking at that pattern and figuring out why. Or how they evolved. Or just read them and laugh or weep if this is how we see love/lust/romance/etc. Romance novel are my dirty little secret. I have hundreds of them, thousands of them, all sitting silently on my little nook and hidden in my naughty drawer, swimming in my head as potential ideas for my own torrid affairs and badly drawn characters... there are some, however, that aren't that terrible. Personally, I think anything "written" by James Peterson is bull, so please realize that's my comparison for how bad a novel is. I'm gonna piss people off with my opinions, which I'm fine with. 

I'm not sure how often I'll post, if at all. God knows I'm one lazy SOB. We shall see...

As stated in the byline, suggestions for novels (erotica, romance, bodice rippers, paranormal, whatever) are welcome.
