I finished reading the first "real" romance novel. Um. Yeah.
Well...I read Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale. Okay my mom says, that Anat says, that this book when it came out was regarded as one of the better romance novels ever written. And as far as I'm concerned the writing is actually not bad. Old english and simple language, I mean one of the characters is a Quaker. It's like 1000 times better then stupid Twilight. In fact I think mostly what's wrong with the book is the plot. It's kinda just all over the place, and really slow at the sametime. Although like Twilight nothing actually happened until page 200, then when it did, yes it was graphic..but actually no more so then the freakin Sookie Stackhouse Books. I mean they were, but they aren't at the same time. I mean no one was biting and sucking blood. I guess I'm kind of desensitized to sex in books and sex on TV becuase of HBO. I like to think people who sign with an HBO show, sign their bodies too. Anyway, the book isn't worth it to read. Although I really liked the characters, and the basis...you just get too lost and bored too often. If I'm going to read a romance novel, I don't want to have to think about what the hell is happening, I just want it to happen.
