Romance & You (Articles)

 

Summer Fun in Between the Pages!

For the average reader, summertime is the season of the year where outdoor activities have us going in a million directions. The romance reader, however, always finds those precious moments to enjoy a great romance story!

The Best Places to Read

The beautiful benefit to summertime and reading are the variety of fabulous places to stretch out and soak up a great story. Picture this scenario: you’re lounging by a sparkling swimming pool with a cool glass of something while the sun caresses your skin. Ahhhh. A favorite old-fashioned option is reclining on a soft blanket with a cushy pillow under your head. Of course, a gentle breeze brings the scent of flowers while you relax beneath a canopy of richly leafed branches?

So Many to Choose

The challenge that romance readers face during summertime is accepting there are so many novels to choose from and not enough time to read them all. Thank goodness we have sturdy bookshelves to house the books we have yet to read.

Romantic Times BOOKClub can be a useful reference when looking ahead for upcoming books. We glanced at some of the Top Picks for June 2003 and were delighted by the choices. Here is just a sampling of what we found…

Author Title Subgenre
     
Mary Balogh Slightly Scandalous Historical (Regency England)
Emily Carmichael Becoming Georgia Historical (Texas & Chicago, 1860)
Suzanne Brockmann Gone Too Far Romantic Suspense
Margaret Graham Mercy Me Contemporary/Inspirational
Rita Herron Have Bouquet, Will Travel Harlequin American
Jean Brashear The Good Daughter Harlequin SuperRomance

Summer, Sunshine, & the Romance Reader

Embrace the opportunities found during your busy day to read a great romance. Summertime is the best season of the year to reach out and become one with nature and a good story. Before you know it, you’ll be counting the first snowflakes on the kitchen windowpane. You’ll be so happy that you got the chance to have some fun in between the pages of a romantic tale.
