Do you read Romance?

22 Percent of Romance Readers are Men


A very interesting article about individuals who read Romance.

How many of you know there are many different sub genre of romance, and which do you prefer?

  • Contemporary Romance is set after World War II
  • Historical Romance is set before World War II
  • Romantic Suspense involves an intrigue or mystery for the protagonists to solve
  • Paranormal Romance blends the real with the fantastic or science fictional.
  • Science Fiction Romance is a romance novel that takes place in a story that would otherwise be classified as a science fiction story.
  • Fantasy Romance, also known as Romantic Fantasy, is a subgenre of fantasy fiction, describing a fantasy story using many of the elements and conventions of the romance genre.
  • Time-travel Romances are a version of the classic "fish out of water" story. In most, the heroine is from the present day and travels into the past to meet the hero.
  • Inspirational Romance, as the market exists today, combines explicitly Chriistian themes with the development of a romantic relationship.
  • Multicultural Romance typically features a hero and/or heroine who is African-American, although some multicultural lines also include Asian or Hispanic heroes or heroines or interracial relationships.
  • Erotic Romance, sometimes called romantica, is a blend of romance and erotica.
My present favorite, Bite Me If You Can: An Argeneau Novel by Lynsay Sands. Of course my favorite changes often. Can you name yours?

My day at the flea market!


I spent my day at the flea market with about 600 books. It is not close to the house, at 5am I loaded the car with the intentions of spending the day....

"The Flea Market of Ortiz Avenue is Southwest Florida's oldest and most unique flea market. Most loved by locals. With nearly 600 spaces, we offer everything from A - Z."

What did I learn. Next time do more research. If I had Spanish books I would have sold out in the first hour.

Children are the same everywhere. I had a family stop by with three little girls. Each girl picked out a book and immediately wanted to sit down and read, while the parents wanted to shop. They passed my booth three times and I could watch the girls progress by the way they held the book.

The day was very slow. But sunny and mild will I do it again, probably once or twice when I need to download my inventory.

What will I do with the rest of my evening?

Put my books in order and record the sales.

Happy Halloween Already


We have 10 days left for Halloween. I cannot believe it.

This fellow is dressed for Halloween and waiting for treats. Since he is in disguise you have to click on the link to see his costume.


If you only get one or two tricksters you could give them Balloon Animals, of course once you start they will want them all year round.

I have been dieting this year, I am not giving out candy! Last year 10 tricksters came to my door, the year before 100, hard to predict the volume of treats order, left over candy is not good for me! Out goes the candy and in goes ..... I will keep you posted on what treat I decided to give, when the shipment arrives. The only way to keep myself out of the candy dish!

Hum, I wonder if the Gorilla knows Halloween is coming.

Finish at last and boxed to go...


I blogged earlier about the baby blanket I was crocheting, here is a photo of the finish product.

As you can tell she is having a baby boy.

I finished Saturday morning and have it boxed to ship today. I missed the shower being so far away.

Priority mail it goes.

I Love crafts


Monday seems to be the day I am looking at other blogs the second one,

Sassy News I read today has a very nice article on inexpensive gifts. The one that caught my eye is the Manicure Kit take a look.


Now when I manage to tear my way past all the great ideas she has, I found she also sells handcrafted items on is this adorable Handmade
Sheep Bib & Burp Cloth Set If you have or had children you know this is one of the most indispensable items you can use with your baby! What a great idea to have them matching! I wonder if could use these to count sheep!


Now for mom, you could give her freshwater pearl earrings. These are great they do not dangle for little hands to grab. I have three sizes available. I have also paired two sizes for a mother & daughter set!
