The Quest for Romance

Here I go...embracing technology and trying new things. I am starting this blog in order to comment on my favorite books and authors. I love to read. It is an addiction that started in the fourth grade when I read my first adult novel in the attic of my Aunt MaryAnn's house. Penelope Neri opened my mind to romance novels and sex ed! It is disconcerting to think that I was reading soft-porn two years older than my son is now. Eeek. What can I say, I couldn't help but fall in love. My mother's idea of romance is a good Barbara Cartland, some of which I really enjoy, but after Miss Neri there was no going back. Soon I was checking out books from my local library (30 was the max) and returning for more every two weeks. I have so many stories in my mind from books I read back then, some of which I have found again and some I am still searching for. If anyone reads this blog please share with me your favorite books and authors. I look forward to hearing from you all and will write more soon.
