Romance novel stuff 💗

When it comes to romance novels I’m happy with just about any vintage ones I come across because they’re all so pretty, but these are just the big iconic three that I’m hoping to find in a thrift store some day. If not thrifting, online maybe…but it would be more fun to just stumble across it, you know?

The handsome man’s stunning side profile! The cleavage! The swooning! Pastels so dreamy ☁️✨💗

Of course I have a running list of gothic romance I’d like to get a hold of too, but as they’re usually from the 70’s rather than 80’s&90’s it might be more difficult, but im always on the lookout regardless.

Bless my husband bc when we went thrifting this week he dutifully searched all the dusty shelves, calling me over when he found some. My favorite find this week was Just One Kiss by Samantha James which I purchased for $2

The front cover is embossed and so pretty and the back is that classic pose (her tacky pink dress looks like a costume—I love it). I thought it would be about pirates because of the ship but it wasn’t lol (I go in somewhat blind when I read these). It was a cute book though and now lives on my shelf ☺️💗

If I wasn’t cozy in bed I’d go take a pic of the one that the cashier sadly ruined 😭. It’s still pretty but missing a chunk from where the thrift store sticker was. Lesson learned next time I’ll ask to take it off myself or something.
