Do you have "issues" with too much profanity or overly explicit (ahem) "romantic" scenes in books? Or do you take them in stride? Have issues like these ever caused you to close a book? Or do you go looking for more exactly like them?Personally, I actually have more issues with explicit violence in books. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't appreciate a juicy romance novel as much as the next woman. However, I think that sometimes those scenes are unnecessary and overdone (like in MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series). Right now I can't think of a book I've started to read lately that I put down because I was offended about this kind of stuff. Even if I don't particularly like something I usually push through because it is rare for me to give up on a book once I've actually gotten into it.
I really detest violence along with sleazy sex. That puts me off!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm either lying or not a woman if I don't like romances? o.O
ReplyDeleteI only meant that most women like romances every once in a while even if we sometimes don't like to admit it to the rest of the world because of some of the negative connotations.
