Announcement
Hi,
I don’t think that anybody reads the updates that I do here on this website, where I tell you which reviews were done this week in romance at Reading Fanatic Reviews, so I am going to stop doing these little weekly roundup posts of book reviews that I’ve been doing since I moved all romance reviews to Reading Fanatic Reviews.
So, if you want to read my romance reviews, just come on over to Reading Fanatic Reviews. Here are some links to direct categories:
- All Romance
- Contemporary Romance
- Historical Romance
- Western Romance (may be contemporary or old West)
- Paranormal Romance
- Mystery and Suspense Romance
- Time-Travel Romance
If anyone prefers that I do the weekly roundup that I had been doing, just let me know at jamie at readingfanaticreviews.com
Happy Reading!
Jamie
