Can Serious Readers Read Romance? ft. Sanjna

What this episode covers

In this episode, I talk to Sanjna about a genre I’ve often kept at a distance - romance. We discuss my early tendency to dismiss love stories in favour of 'serious' reading, the difference between romance and chick-lit, and why these books deserve to be read without embarrassment. We also exchange recommendations, from Nicholas Sparks and Sophie Kinsella to quieter books where love exists as part of a larger story.Sanjna Recommended - The Notebook, A Walk to Remember and Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. Twenties Girl, Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me? and Can You Keep A Secret by Sophie Kinsella.Anusha Recommended - Okay Days by Jenny Mustard, The Anthropologists by Aysegul Savas and Heart The Lover by Lily KingShare your feedback and suggestion by following me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingbibliophile7/
