It's always sad when the plot is taken over by the romance :\ <br />Chaol and Celaena are awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430821457141309710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837406098577816197.post-39646420229058460242013-12-14T06:10:42.723+01:002013-12-14T06:10:42.723+01:00I have to say, I don't think I've ever los...I have to say, I don't think I've ever lost my shipping abilities before! I mean, I'm the type that goes LOVE INTEREST ALERT whenever a somewhat attractive person steps on the scene haha (oh, YA this is what you've done to me...) and if the chemistry is even slightly there I'm all "I SHIP IT"<br />Funnily enough though, I actually don't like it that much when the focus of a book is romance unless it's a contemporary romance novel. It's good when there's a nice balance :)<br /><br />Erm, good romances:<br />My Life Next Door<br />Speechless<br />As Jeann said, These Broken Stars is good but it's kind of cliched haha.Narahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378806643397167349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837406098577816197.post-14987910578848608092013-12-14T03:13:48.223+01:002013-12-14T03:13:48.223+01:00Wow I have not heard anyone use the term "shi...Wow I have not heard anyone use the term "ship" so thanks for sharing that with us! I think slow burning romance are great but some are so frustrating. But when the guy is so hot and the girl needs rescuing the eyes roll out of my head lol. I think These Broken Stars will be exactly what you're looking for :)<br /><br />Jeann @ <a href="http://www.happyindulgencebooks.com" rel="nofollow">Happy Indulgence</a>Jeann @ Happy Indulgencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080126376029467613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837406098577816197.post-37207327420750278402013-12-13T20:53:47.088+01:002013-12-13T20:53:47.088+01:00I actually like to pick books with as less romance...I actually like to pick books with as less romance as possible, haha. I don't like stories with much focus on romance, but when it happens, I don't mind creating my ships. Most of the times I pick the underdog in love-triangles though :') I do like that slow-burn romance. The one between Celaena & Chaol :DMel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.com
