I’m still stuck in my romance novel addiction, though it keeps getting worse and worse. I think I fall off the wagon for the romantic, feel good story and then it descends into the soft porn territory and then I end up hating myself, for the time wasted, for spending it with poor writers, female emancipation guilt – past couple of novels had below 25 yo helming companies and rescuing them singlehandedly from going under. 😐 And even with that crap, I still can’t put down a bad book. The weakness strikes when I am bored with the work I have to do, the lack of rosy world reading material and just the addiction to happily ever afters. In the past month(s?) of this iteration, only two, count them, two!, are worth the time. Christina Lauren – the UnHoneymooners – yes, the setup is eyeroll worthy, but there is a sweetness to it. Charming, that’s the word. The Hating Game – that’s the second one. It was the better one. Very sweet. Not one of the dozen or so others that I’ve mowed through. My modus is to start one, promise myself I’ll stop in 30 minutes and then 4-6 hours later, finish up the book and wonder what’s wrong with me. Repeat again either immediately or after 24 hours. Today, I stopped myself with reading the samples and then remembered the blog. So thank you for rescuing me. Read one of my earlier posts about the dream. Had zip recollection of the dream itself, recall the headache, but that’s it. See – writing’s important!
