Been reading a lot of Romance books lately. They are like a cozy blanket. For a to be considered Romance, are required to have a "happily ever after" eg no sudden character death. It ensures the author isn't going to mess your day up.
Also, a lot of them have sex, which is nice.
- ilvez 3y agoYou got me thinking about Bob The Skull in Dresden Files. :D
- drekipus 3y agoDo you have any recommendations?
- Seattle3503 3y agoIt depends on what kind of fiction you like, as romance is a kind of meta genre that spans every other genre. Knowing nothing about you, other than the fact you are on HN, I would recommend The Rosie Project. It is a contemporary comedy romance, one of the only works of fiction Bill Gates has ever put on his yearly recommendation list. Overall, your best bet is finding a community and lurking. Maybe asking for recommendations. Reddit has a number of communities. /r/RomanceBooks is the main one, but there is also /r/fantasyromance, /r/HistoricalRomance/, /r/ScienceFictionRomance/, etc... If you are a guy and kinda feeling out of place, there is also /r/Romance_for_men
