She Gave Up Romances for Lent

Book Cover Lent, the period of time between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, is marked by many with acts of penance, fasting, and prayer. Sometimes, the fasting is of a particularly type of food. I know a few people who give up chocolate or wine or alcohol altogether for Lent.

Emily did something different:

Hello ladies of the Bitchery! I need your help. I am desperate for some book
recommendations. I gave up romance novels for lent, can you believe it?!? I
am fast approaching the end of the 40 day period and I need to know what’s
new and what people are reading. I generally like historicals (anytime
period) and I love Julia Quinn, Elosia James, Sabrina Jefferies, and Stephanie
Laurens.

I wanted some advice on what should be my first book back in
to my favorite genre and thought to ask you and your readers!

I can’t wait to hear from you and what everyone thinks! Thanks in advance!

WOW. My observance of Passover and my deep yearning for leavened bread is NOTHING compared to giving up romance novels for 40 days. What titles do you recommend for Emily, who is days away from the resurrection of her reading habits?

Personally, I recommend Kate Noble and Courtney Milan, Emily, and I hope you have a very Happy Easter.
