No..not what you are thinking. I am talking about the books I have been reading. Yeah..duh! That other kind of romance is always in the air ;)
So well..lately I only want to read romance novels and mind you no period romances, those I hate with a vengeance. It's hard for me to image those Victorian Greek lords and damsels in distresses. It just seems like a world that didn't really exist, except for in books.
So my cuppa tea is - contemporary romance. I prefer that so much more, in a modern setting, with references to stuff I am familiar with. Here's my not-so-long list:
1. I loved Julie James, I have now read all her published work:
- A lot like love
- Something about you
- Practice makes perfect
- Just the sexiest man alive
2. Susan Mallery - I have read 3 of her books and I am convinced she is a good romance writer.
- Finding perfect
- Tempting
-Chasing perfect.
I also like contemporary Indian writers. I really like books about Immigrants and their kids. Which is why Jhumpa Lahiri is a favorite. I really like Amulya Malladi. Recently read 'Season of mangoes' and I thought it was well written.
Are there any contemporary fiction authors you like?

How dare you pass over Pride and Predjudice with such withering scorn. You have no idea how offended I am that this brilliant period romance novel has been trodden under your ill judged heels!
ReplyDeleteO no...don't get me wrong..those I love..those aren't victorian romances. I LOVE Pride and Prejudice and I love Gone with the Wind even more..I was just talking about Victorian novels written these days...
ReplyDeleteSORRY :(
