When I do, I just do the best I can to pay attention to the most pressing needs and go from there.<br />I do read quite a few subgenres of romance, I like to mix it up. Right now I'm reading a historical romance, and a fantasy, before that I was reading an urban fantasy and a paranormal romance. It all depends on my mood what book I pick up to read next.Barbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-18801507233927560302011-10-08T22:48:23.180-04:002011-10-08T22:48:23.180-04:00Hi, Pat -- Although I read more than one book at a...Hi, Pat -- Although I read more than one book at a time, they aren't usually the same genre. If they're too similar -- Regencies in particular -- I may get the characters mixed up. (I've done that writing my own Regencies...sometimes I have to jog my brain for the right name.)Barbara Monajemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740868750916582900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-34163669681272409072011-10-08T22:09:19.304-04:002011-10-08T22:09:19.304-04:00Hi, Pat--

I read a romantic historical, followed by whatever comes up next on the TBR stack that is not a<br />historical. Round and round we go!<br /><br />I juggle/multitask all the time, but<br />not my reading. As for Kindles,I don't<br />have one but I do have the app for my<br />computer. I much prefer print but may<br />break down and get an e-reader one<br />day!<br /><br />Pat C.Pat Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997396930842831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-79982061689778582512011-10-08T20:41:36.478-04:002011-10-08T20:41:36.478-04:00Barbara, I have tried writing another erotica, but...Barbara, I have tried writing another erotica, but I don't know how to get into that groove again. I think there was only one in me and that was it.<br /><br />As for the nudist romance, it's still got a little way to go; and I think I'll leave the ending open so that the reader can think about what their life ends up like themselves. I have tried other endings, but it just gets too messy.<br /><br />My vampire stories are the same as romance novels, but the vampires are nothing like 'Twilight'... they are exactly what you'd imagine: tall, dark and handsome... but extremely self-centred and only think about themselves and their needs. I have put a smattering of ones that remember what it's like to be a human; but their young vampires.Mozettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267731815392625679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-57379805411149159872011-10-08T18:20:35.609-04:002011-10-08T18:20:35.609-04:00Anna, then bwahahaha! to you. *g*Anna, then bwahahaha! to you. *g*Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-47310561316851540232011-10-08T16:47:16.121-04:002011-10-08T16:47:16.121-04:00Oh, dear,the curse of all of us being called Jo ha...Oh, dear,the curse of all of us being called Jo has struck.
