Ah, I had a roommate for a while, we had a funny tradition, every week we would each find the worst romance novel we could (if we didn't have one from the week before) and then on the weekend we would take turns reading them out loud to each other in grandiloquent voices and whoever broke down laughing first lost. It was so much fun!
We found some romance authors we really liked, and when we came across bad ones then instead of it being disappointing, we would turn it into something fun.
So now I have a nostalgic fondness for romance novels.
Wulfalice, did you actually already read all 9 of them?! That is super fast! I'm not sure what next, you might be ahead of me! I guess that means that next it is your turn to recommend something. :)

noooooo, I only found where to get them! XD I want to try them after finishing one of the books I'm reading, 'The Gauguin Connection'. it's also a mystery and I need distance between two books of the same genre or with similar plots or settings. maybe, since 'Siri' is historical, I could read it right after 'the Gauguin Connection', that is contemporary, but not simultaneously, I wouldn't survive that 
I'm wondering, is there such a thing as being overfed with access to books? when you can have so many that you don't want any? I was going through my goodreads tbr list to see how many I own or can access right away and that's a lot of books but I didn't feel like picking up any of them. like, oh a cool concept here but soooo not a priority... I even removed some books from the list because I wasn't excited about them anymore (ok, maybe 3 or 4 from a 500+ list but still). I thought that maybe finding books: adding to the tbr, downloading, buying, getting as presents, had become enough and reading is not required? idk I've had these thoughts for a while. even though right now is the moment of my life when I'm constantly reading something, it feels a little bit like owning a book means you own its ideas, its content, its value. am I a reader or just a hoarder, kind of question
so these were the thoughts brought to you by a day of procrastination (going through 500+ books to see which I own and which are easily obtainable via libraries) and by me finding 9 available Dr.Siri books :D
reading bad romances aloud sounds fun. are you reading a lot of romance as a result/tribute to those times?

It's probably just that you wanted something specific without knowing what it was. Like sometimes I can scroll through our watchlist on Netflix and see 10000 things I've wanted to watch for ages but I don't want to watch them right at that moment. Then I find a trashy teen comedy that has just been added and I'm all for it XD

Yes, maybe that's it!
But I feel like that as well..
At the beginning I downloaded so many books from bookbub, but now I got too lazy looking through the newsletter
