For some unknown reason that really quite baffles me, romances are found in pretty much every single book. If you find one that doesn’t contain a romance, then shout it to the heavens because that’s a rare occurrence.

The discussion posts are back! …sort of.
Towards the end of last year, I gave the weekly discussion posts a break. Having run them for a year, I was running out of ideas, and had too many other posts that could easily take their place. And so, coming into the new year, I’ve cut my blogging schedule down. Though it might not seem like it yet, because I’m still frantically catching up with book reviews. But anyway. The new schedule is reviews on Wednesdays, and random posts Sundays – including discussions. So the discussion posts will just arrive as the ideas do!

Here’s one of those discussions that’s entirely subjective. There’s no right or wrong answer, there’s no “popular opinion”. It’s just a thing to chat about really.
Romance.
Near enough every single book to exist has a romance in it somewhere.
So I’m asking you today…
So for this week’s discussion I’ve decided to make it a pretty easy topic.
Book to movie / TV adaptations. They’re everywhere aren’t they? And while they’re great things, there’s also that hesitant side in most bookworms.

It’s Summer, which means a lot of readathons are on the horizon.
There they are, all waiting in the distance, ready to charge towards us readers like an oncoming army of challenges.
Well, we readers are ready to take them on.
Sort of.
