This week’s question:
My answer: Romance is not my favorite genre. If I read a romance, there has to be a lot more going on, such as a mystery, or a historical setting with a lot of historical events included. If I do choose a romance, it is usually a historical romance or romantic comedy. I don’t have a favorite trope.
How about you? Do you enjoy reading romance?

I don’t read romances. They’re too formulaic.

I’m the same here. There has to be something else going on besides romance.

I did read romances when I was much younger, but now I need more of a plot.

Sounds like I prefer a similar type of romance – I like it as an element of a mystery or a historical.

Like most people, I like romance as part of the plot, but not as the main course.

Yep. Just romance alone is kind of boring to me.

I read quite a bit of romance, but I don’t have a favorite trope. It’s all in the writing for me.

Romantic comedies are among my favorite contemporary romance. I don’t read a lot of romance, but I enjoy it on occasion. I especially like it mixed with mystery or urban fantasy.
I hope you have a great weekend!

I really don’t read romance that often, but when I do I like the young adult genre. “Bullies to romance” or high school drama. Lol, I know, it sounds like an ole lady trying to go back in time, hmm… 🤣

🙂 But the important thing is that you enjoy it. Going back in time to high school makes me think of Back to the Future. Though Marty went to his parents’ high school, not his.

Since romance is my jam, there are very few tropes that I don’t like – give me a guaranteed HEA and I’m there…

There has to be a lot more than romance to make me pick up a book. I enjoy reading books centered around real-life issues, history, or culture. If they are peppered with love, it doesn’t hurt.

I don’t read a lot of romance, nor does the crime I read often have romance subplots. When I do read something with romance, I quite like a second chance or a friends to lovers
