Romance Books?!?!?!?!?!?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

even though its pretty ironic, i need a non-fiction romance book and it is close to impossible to find one!!!!!!!!!!!pleaseeee help

Jane Austen–Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansefield Park, Emma, Northgrange Abbey—formal, classics from the time when romance was an art–lovely!!
Charlotte Bronte–Jane Eyre–a dark romance
Lucy Maud Montgomery (the BEST) –The Blue Castle, Emily series, Anne of Green Gables series, Kilmeny of the Orchard, At the Altar–tons more–very uplifting and romantic and poetic
Baroness Orczy–The Scarlet Pimpernel —> super amazing once you get past the first ground-setting chapters—a real page turner! It had me on the edge of my seat, and heartrending romance
Charles Dickens–A Tale of Two Cities–a tragic romance

This should get you started. These are REAL romance novels, ones that last and are enjoyed for generations not those cheap ten cent garbage ones that have no plot and are all emotion. I loved these and I am sure you will too. My favorite is LM Montgomery, everyone remembers her for the Anne series but she wrote some pretty amazing books that don’t get much attention, plus tons of short stories. Happy reading!

What are some good realistic teen romance books?

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Some teen romance books I’ve liked are all the books by Rachel Hawthorne, Sarah Dessen, Catherine Clark, Emma Harrison, Nicholas Sparks, Simone Elkekes & Hailey Abbott.

Any suggestions? No HP, Twilight, vampire, fantasy books please. Realistic. Teen. Romance. Not adult books. I like books revolving around relationships and high school. Thanks.

Two excellent new teen romances are:

The Secret Year by Jennifer R. Hubbard

My Boyfriends’ Dogs by Dandi Daley MacKall

I just wanted to know some good teen romance books!

Meg Cabot writes MANY teen romance novels. EVERYTHING she’s written seems to have some sort of romance in it.

Any good Fantasy Romance books that are NOT Stephanie Meyer?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I want to read something similar to Stephanie Meyer’s books. The romance with the fantasy twist. Even like her book The Host was way good.
I tried to ask for good teen romances, but all I got in response was high school drama romances…I’m in high school I don’t need to read about it.

Try Red Handed by Gena Showalter (http://members.cox.net/genashowalter/books.htm#alien%20huntress) or Boys that Bite (and it’s sequels) by Mari Macusi (http://www.marimancusi.com/boysbite.html)

Also if you can track down anything by Australian author Traci Harding, it’d be good. She’s a brilliant science fiction/ fantasy/ romance/ adventure writer. (http://www.voyageronline.com.au/traciharding/books/ancient.htm)

What are some great teen romance novels from the boy’s perspective?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I know a lot of teen romance novels, but most of them are from the girl’s perspective. Any recommendations? Please do not say the Twilight Saga.

Hi, Jasper!

Romance Books for Teenage Boys: romance novels written just for them.

Young adult romance enthusiasts generally look for realistic, compelling characters and pulse-racing attraction. But if the romance readers are male, they also prefer a male protagonist and, frequently, a male author who they can trust to give an authentic male voice.

1.
Romance Books for Teenage Boys – Sentimental Romance

Guys who like sentimental romance should try "Tom Loves Anna Loves Tom" by Bruce Clements (Farrar Strauss & Giroux, 1990)

In this story of obsessive and intense summer romance, Tom falls in love with Anna while she is in town visiting her ailing aunt. This intimate, sentimental story is unique because it isn’t plot-driven, but rather it savors the idiosyncrasies of infatuation as a realistic depiction of first love from a male perspective. The story unfolds in a passionate monologue. Important life issues such as the death of a sibling, acquaintance rape, abortion and its aftermath, and Antisemitism are woven into the story to add depth and realism.

2. Romance Books for Teenage Boys – Mystery Romance

Teen boys who like mystery mixed in with their romance books will love Another Kind of Monday by William E Coles (HarperTempest, 1999)

When Mark opens a dusty copy of Great Expectations he doesn’t find the expected reading assignment. Instead, he discovers $300 and a set of directions which plunge him into a mysterious scavenger hunt and an unexpected romance. Although the cryptic riddles and pressing quest to solve the mystery are what drives the plot, it’s the author’s exploration of Mark and Zeena’s budding romance that make this a satisfying romance and an unforgettable story.

3. Romance Books for Teenage Boys – Lighthearted Romance

Young men who prefer lighthearted romance will enjoy Cecil in Space by Sid Hite (Henry Holt & Co., 1999)

This offbeat coming-of-age romance novel is a welcome break from hard-core young adult fiction. Seventeen-year old Cecil Scott Rowe (who his Aunt June believes is an astronaut in training, hence the title) likes to hang with his clique, dabble in vandalism (who changed the town’s welcome sign to read “Welcome to Hysteric Pricksburg”?) and psycho-philosophize in his witty and unusual manner. In this tale of summer romance, Cecil struggles between the town’s snooty fickle bombshell Ariel, and Isabel the girl-next-door.

Do romance books over exaggerate/dramatize falling in love?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

If you have read a romance book, you know that it makes falling in love sound wonderful-it makes you sooo excited to experience it for yourself. I wouldn’t know, but is that what love is really like? Or are they just books? Is falling in love really that good?

yes, it is. but the ironic part is sometimes YOU’re falling in love, but you can’t be sure about if HE’s falling in love with you or not.

What are some good romance books to read?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Okay, yes. I am a girl, and frankly, i’ve been having trouble finding new books to read. I’ve read many drama/romance books such as Twilight series and the Time Traveler’s Wife. Please don’t reccomend any fantasy or vampire books since i’m not a huge fan. But I am a huge fan of drama and romance, also a bit of humor.

So please reccomend!

~The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks
~Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

Teen "awwwww" Love with much Hilarity

~An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
~Key to the Golden Firebird by Maureen Johnson

Fantasy-ish Love (not like vampires or anything, but involves an imaginary friend)

Unrequited Love with Self-discovery

~The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Teen-angsty Love with "awwwww" ending

~Two-way Street by Lauren Barnholdt
