I am Lover of romance, who indulges in the romantic adventures of literature

My name is Renee, and I am the host of this site. I am a 34 year old woman, on the prowl for her mate, searching out the best of books, exploring the wilds of the imagination and delving into the heart of a beautiful love story.

 

I Am Back!!

Oh boy….I can’t believe how long its been since I have been blogging, and it has been so hard. I love running this blog, and even though I was still working on a big project for this blog, it wasn’t the same. This month has been pretty stressful though, I knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on books like I wanted to and didn’t want my stress to leak through to here. But I just couldn’t stay away any longer. On a good note, my job training will begin next week and then I hopefully will be making some good money which will be a relief and I can focus on other things. So what have I been up to this past month and half? Well I have been doing quite a bit of re reading. I also did get some good coloring pages done as well—it really is a good stress reliever.ย  I have also been working on a project. Its basically a database of sorts of all sorts of lists. From types of heroes, heroines, tropes and themes, to time era. And I can’t wait till I am finished with it all. It also makes me realize how many books I have read, but also why I love romance so very much. Hope you all had a wonderful month of May and are enjoying the beginnings of summertime!!

      Yeah I wish life would go so smoothly, but then I guess we would never be challenged or learn from anything but it can be a drag when I just want to relax and read and work on my blog. I am pretty excited to see what everyone thinks of my new project, but I really hope everyone loves it.

      Thanks darling!! Yes its still a bit stressful until I start working fully again, but it will be worth it. But I just needed to come back, I hate stepping away too long from my blog and all my blogging friends including yours truly. ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope things are well for you in California, my brother just got back from his mission from there.

      I am sure you will love this new project, and I hope to have it out within a month or so.

        Ooh, where did your brother serve? I live in Los Angeles County. Close enough to downtown if I ever wanted to visit but far enough away that we don’t have to deal with bad traffic.

        Yay! I can’t wait to see it!

          He served in San Fernando and loved it. That is great that you don’t have to deal with bad traffic with living close to downtown.
