I’ve had a busy old week, this week, so I’ve been relaxing by web-hopping all over the place.
Most of you have probably read Mrs Giggle’s rant on erotic romance, but for those of you who haven’t, go take a look. It is rather amusing. If anybody else had written this, I probably would have dedicated a whole blog to it, but we all know Mrs G Tells it how she sees it, and does it very well too, so I’ll just leave you to form your own opinions.
This reader has stopped buying romance’s because of the “billious tripe currently being pumped out by publishing houses”. Bare in mind that this was written a couple of years ago, who knows, she may have gone back to reading romances again.
This guy thinks that romance novels are the used condoms of literature . If you have a heart condition, I wouldn’t even bother reading it cuz you’ll only get mad.
Apparently Eminem is addicted to sleeping pills. Surely he would be constantly asleep, if he was taking them all the time? Oh I get it, this is why he’s so exhausted… Poor thing.
I’ve just spent the last 30 minutes browsing round this website. This is just soooo American. Perhaps the Tall Guy and I should have had our own website to share our love story with the world? *g*
I hear that Al Reynold’s is gay, is that true? Is this another Liza Minelli and David Gest situation? Oh I hope not, the website is too beautiful for it to have all been fake… Check out the wedding pictures. I sure would have liked Hilary Clinton at my wedding…
I wonder if any of

Wow, the Used Condom article made me so irritated, I had to sign up for a blog just to reply to it! Screen after screen to sign up for a page I won’t use to tell some guy he sucks…Then after posting, I noticed my typos. ARRRRRGH!!!!

I thought Ms Giggles was reading more books? I don’t know, I never could get into the Blaze line or Temptations…and only read the greats at Brava like Robin, Thea, and Beatrice… I prefer the small press for erotic romance though. Less “formula” writing. Rare to fine virgin heroines at 35 in small press… Are there 35 year old virgins? And here I thought I was behind when I lost mine at 18.
And the librarian who wonders about women reading romance…Gee, with men like him around, no wonder we all have to read about fantasies. Sheesh. Oh yeah, I want to read a real man just like him, one who hates women (obviously), the world, his life, and has no imagination whatsoever. Cause miserable librarians are SEXEEEY.

Thanks for the linkage to Mrs Giggles. Man, did she ever hit it straight on!
Makes me want to reconsider some of my own erotica. *g*

One comment of Mrs. Giggles caught my attention: why can’t there be more men like Hugh Jackman – smiling men full of fun and mischief? I’ve wondered that myself. Why can’t there be more FUN in erotic romance?

I’m with byrdloves2read, 100%. I’m so, so, so bored with tortured/serious/blahblah heroes.
