A weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading.

What’s the most romantic book you’ve ever read?

(Mind you, I don’t mean the hard-core stuff you hide in plain wrappers under your mattress. I mean True Love, Romance, deeply emotional, heart-tugging, and all that stuff.)

And, secondly, did you like it? Is it your usual kind of reading, or did it take you by surprise?


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    LaVyrle Spencer’s “Morning Glory” and “The Gamble” are the first to come to mind. I read them both in my teens and have re-read them many times since. Both stories deal with lonely people who find each other, grow and change through knowing and loving each other.

    PS. Do Kirk and Spock count? lol I think their love was pretty damn epic. ^_^

    Ooooh, there’s nothing like a good romantic novel, with a cup of tea and a box of chocolates… Here’s my answer, which ranges from The Notebook to Wuthering Heights:

    Thanks for this question; I don’t have an answer, but I’ve started a conversation about *why* on my BTT post – would love to hear others’ thoughts! “Romantic reading… Not so much.”

    I don’t think I linked correctly, so I’ll just say, my most romantic read was the Josephine B Trilogy, Sandra Gulland. Who knew Napoleon was such a hotty.

    Great question! I had fun answering it! Thanks! :D

    I answered with P.C. Cast’s Goddess of the Sea

    I ignored the category romance and paranormal romance I’ve read and went straight for The Jungle, Merlin’s Keep and Persuasion.

    Naturally I’m fond of the husband and wife in my own writing, but for my number one favorite romance, I’d have to say the one between Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane.
