**********
Do you like to read romance novels?
I love romance novels – it’s the genre that got me started reading when I was in my teen years. Most of the books I read are romance – whether it’s romantasy, fantasy with romance, contemporary romance, historical romance….yes, I love romance!
Who are your favourite fictional couples?
Yikes…this is a hard one and I don’t know which type of romance we are talking about here so it’s going to be RANDOM choices because there are so many I love but I can’t remember them all, so here are some that just are kinda memorable to me as I scroll through my blog posts😅:
- Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, of course…Pride and Prejudice by. Jane Austen
- Daphne and Miles – Funny Story by. Emily Henry
- Vanka and Emeric – Little Thieves by. Margaret Owen
- Guinevere and Oskar – Tusk Love by. Thea Guanzon
Which characters from different books or series do you think would be perfect for each other?
This is an even harder question and I have no brain capacity for this 😅.

February 20: What do you collect besides books? (Suggested by Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)
Prompts: Do you own a lot of books? Do you think of yourself as a book collector? Outside of reading, do you have any other hobbies that involve collecting things? What would you love to have a collection of?
February 27: Reading Star Ratings
Prompts: This topic is inspired by Krysta @ Pages Unbound, who posted about it earlier this year. How do you read star ratings from other bloggers/readers? Do you consider star ratings seen on a book blog, Bookstagram, or BookTok differently from ratings on sites like Goodreads? How much does a star rating affect your decision to purchase/borrow/read a book, and does it depend on who/where the star rating comes from?
