Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

Tweet

I found a wonderful blog, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, via my friend Allison’s new book blog, LibraryLove.net.

I had already added them to by blogroll and subscribed to their feed, but I had to add a link to today’s post. They make a good case for romance novels, which I believe everyone should read. Here’s an excerpt:

The judgments people render against romance novels try to dismiss the question of why romance is so popular, and why so many millions of people spend so many millions of dollars on their choice of reading material. But even against the certainty that romance is “dreck,” or “chick porn” or just lowbrow popular culture loved by dim women in puffy paint sweatshirts, the questions that we ask about romance push back against judgment and assumption to celebrate the questions romance novels ask about human emotional and sexual experience.

Thanks for the linky love for my book blog. ;-)

I love a good romance novel. Have you ever read Susan Elizabeth Phillips? Her books are excellent.
