10 reasons I love reading romance novels.

books and reading · July 26, 2022

If you asked me my favorite genre of books to read, I would probably say the answer is romance. I love a good romance book, getting lost in witty banter and longing glances between the characters.

Here are 10 reasons I love reading romance books:

1. I love a happily ever after or happily for now.

2. Hallmark movies and rom coms are the best and romance novels are just like that, but longer with more details!

3. Characters in romance novels seem to have the best jobs and I can live vicariously through them as a bookshop owner, baker, writer, or bed and breakfast owner, to name a few.

4. Similarly, all these women in these books are smart and successful and know what they want.

5. Romance novels are hopeful and optimistic. You know that something good will happen in the end.

6. There are so many great series to read. I can read about a couple falling in love and then read about all their friends and family and neighbors and co-workers falling in love as well.

7. You can find romance in every genre –  there are sci-fi romance books, mystery romance books, thriller romance books, historical romance books, and more.

8. There are so many different romance tropes that, whatever checks your box, you can probably find a book about it.

9. The romance genre can elicit so many emotions – happy, sad, excited, amused, frustrated, nervous. There are so many things to feel.

10. I love reading books about people falling in love!
