Why does this happen?
How can she do it?
I have read all my life,
Adventure stories,
War stories,
Detective stories,
Tales of blood and thunder,
But she has changed me,
Changed my reading.
Or have I changed,
Have I now become a romantic,
A romantic in my old age.
Each of her stories
Of love and love’s despair
Pull me into them,
I just cannot stop reading,
Reading her words.
There are still more to read,
Of her thirty four books
I have read twenty one.
These are so different,
So different from what I have read,
Read for so many years.
So what has changed,
Changed in my life,
Have I now become a romantic?

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
I don't know the author, so I can't say if you are romantic or not! You probably are. heehee.
We do change throughout our lifetimes...possibly you have become a romantic. Possibly there is more than romance to these books and that attracts you also? You seem devoted to this particular author...you don't say you are reading other author's romance novels. Maybe her writing is particularly outstanding to you in some way. Just some thoughts your write has provoked. Very engaging.
Thank you GD, yes we do change in our lives. It is her writing that has me hooked, she is such a good writer in my humble opinion.
Andy
I’ve never heard of her .., hardly ever read these days .. maybe I should )
Reading is so good for you as you can get lost in another world away from the worries of your own.
Andy
I shall look her books up. I've always read crime and thrillers and hardly ever go to the romance shelves since a teenager. She has bewitched you...
She certainly has bewitched me Rozina.
Andy
I always knew you woz or rather suspected becoz ..................... 🙂
Probably very true Neville.
Andy
Our Goldfinch a romantic? Of course you are, you can;t see the wood for the trees disallusioned man LOL
How could this man who regularly tells us of undieing love be anthing but a true and real life romantic.
No Andy, life has brought you great romance and somewhere along the way, long ago, you became a romantic.
Thank you for your kind words d a, they are very true.
Andy
Romantic By far!
So kind Dove, thank you.
Andy
I dare to proclaim
you were a romantic from birth, dear Poet
well, at least
since I've been reading your poetry
because someone
as in love with the chore of living
as you are, can only be a romantic
at heart.. lol
what a fun read
and Happy New Year, my friend
Thank you Mek, I think it is probably true. Happy New Year to you as well.
Andy
Experiences I think have a cascading effect which tumbles down on us.
So true John, you just cannot teach experience.

Have een an avid reader of mystery, crime and thriller but romance is a genre which I haven’t touched much
Will google her then
It’s never too late to visit new place, to learn a new language and stream eyes upon a new genre i think…
Very true spilleronsheet, my horizons have been expanded.
Andy
Many a man scoffs at the thought of being a romantic,
but love for one woman will be his biggest weakness while also his greatest strength, 😊
So very true AP. Thank you.
