The_Siren Posted March 8, 2009 I am ashamed yet brave enough to admit that I read pathetic romance novels in my spare time. Why? Because it helps to whittle the hours away and because how on earth is a repressed spinster supposed to get her kicks save humping the next thing I set eyes upon. No I shall suppress my natural urges and take solace in my pitifully maidenly fantasies by indulging in the good old fashioned escapism romance novels provide. Yes I am shameless and yes I both detest the historical romance section as much as I am drawn to it. It’s a love/hate thing and those of you who have ever glanced or even read a romance novel will have seen that a large proportion of the cover art upon these books are hideously and rib cracking funny enough to cause you to cringe in complete and utter mortification. I bet some of you have even been forced in public and in occasion to bend the front cover over placing it directly on the flat of your lap so your embarrassing if incredibly amusing guilty pleasure remains forever an unspeakable secret. LOL As a result of this guilty yet giggly pleasure of mine I have decided to make fun of the very rubbish I like to read along with their art covers. I mean truly? The covers of some of these books are just begging to be made fun of and thus here are a few covers with humorous captions on them for you to enjoy. Deaf, dumb, blind and buttoness...just how I like my men. LOL This is just creepy LOL Hey when a lady has to go? She has to go right? Strangely this is one love bum I wouldn't mind sharing a can of beans with, preferably with it poured on his chest, I just hope a stabbing hobo doesn't happen upon us. LOL-I kid, I kid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Siren Posted March 8, 2009 Here are 2 more I found quite delicious to behold. The undeniable double entendre in this is just ridiculously funny. The sword and the sheath indeed…they might as well have said the **** and the ****. LMAO-I know I’m rude I shall stop no more profanity. I promise (tries to contain her naughty giggles of laughter) What I’d like to know is what kind of a male hero has a cat and an overweight one at that as his side kick? Also that heart-shaped medallion does nothing for him. [ March 10, 2009, 06:32 AM: Message edited by: sheherazade ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted March 8, 2009 LOL!! . In a rush but will be back to comment on your very peculiar taste of reading material. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted March 8, 2009 Taster’s Choice.. Is disdain for Céline Dion innate or learned? And what’s wrong with liking her music anyway? Hating Céline is therefore not just an aesthetic choice, but an ethical one, a way to elevate yourself above her fans—who, according to market research, tend to be disproportionately poor adult women living in flyover states and shopping at big-box stores. (As Wilson puts it, “It’s hard to imagine an audience that could confer less cool on a musician.”) So, Siren is repressed spinster or wisecrack? Entertaining that's sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Siren Posted March 8, 2009 ^- I don't know what it is your trying to insinuate with that hating Celine Dion article but I assure you that I bare her no ill will (Squints her eyes suspiciously) I'm on to you... Ps Serenity I hope I didn't give the impression that this very entertaining silly genre is all I read because I don't. I actually read anything and everything Scouts honor (though I've never been a bear/girl Scout) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted March 8, 2009 LOOOL!!! HAHA @ The topic. I must say I never got into fiction at all, as for romance novels. I once read them Mills &Boom books, it was soft porn about an American rancher. Never been tempted to read them again. Is there one with black characters?? and glossy nice pictures fit black men covers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Siren Posted March 8, 2009 LOL@Mills and boon. Those books are probably the worst kind of books, god they're so predictable and lack any originality whatsoever. Still there are a couple of really good authors with wonderful stories I only ever read the best (grins) and believe me Mills and Boon are right down at the top of the food chain but your on the right lines ibti LOL As for sex novels involving steaming hot black dudes? LOL I'm sure they exist and let me see what I can find for you (rummages around in her book closet) I cater to all taste.... pst I'm running low on hunky black dudes but will a blind mermaid being courted by a 6th century viking lord do?

Ibtisam Posted March 8, 2009 LOOOOL, better than the usual white dudes posted above. My bad, I thought it was boom. When I get old, I will come back and do the trashy reading in these areas. I mean surely I will be bored in my old age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paragon Posted March 8, 2009 Ah, well, if it fertilizes your imaginations, then do indulge old girl. I read too but ofcourse not the same material. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Siren Posted March 8, 2009 LOL@Che very ungentlemanly of you to point out Paragons nightly festivities in such a manner. Ibti- LOL I fear that I've already become old and decrepit just by waiting for my true love to come galloping into my life upon a white unicorn holding King Arthur's very Excalibur in one hand while the wind flirts with my darlings lusciously long dark locks. Its realistic scenarios such as these which have no doubt helped to keep real prospects of marriage away and me upon the spinster shelf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
