A- I received an e-reader for Christmas and going through the 8500+ eBooks you have at the library, I set them in popularity order and was shocked (for real).
I expected the Best Seller list first and wasn't sure what I'd find. A few of the best sellers were first, but the first few hundred after that were mostly erotic fiction. What the hell is this? Harlequin romance etc. is the majority. I was really surprised.
I never knew this crap existed in the huge numbers that it seems to be. I am a babe in the woods! If you want porn go out and get it. When I discovered our library system simply provides folks (I was going to say the ladies, I can't imagine a guy reading this crap) with all these guilty pleasures (soft porn I guess) I was really dumbfounded.
I know it's not your fault! I'm just surprised.
L- "romantic" (erotic!) fiction is the most popular genre! Lots of women out there who stopped being romanced by their man the minute the ring went on the finger - gotta get it somewhere, right?
I like a Harlequin once in a while – I’m a plot driven reader so I can even get by on a poorly written one for the night - there are some great stories out there with a guaranteed happy ending - just what I need sometimes!
A- I have a friend who is an editor for Harlequin (editor or something). He does extremely well it seems in the business although he doesn't readily admit it's for Harlequin.
You said "gotta get it somewhere, right?" We could explore this concept, but we can save that for another time.
L- Suppose your friend was CEO of Cheetos? Not a bad thing.
I liken Harlequin to "junk food for the mind"! It fills its purpose. Never apologize for what you like to eat, or what you like to read!!
A- Ya' done me in with your response!
