View submission: Straight Guy Reading Romance

I’m a 36 year old married heterosexual male who reads a ton and my favorite genre is probably romance. Ali Hazelwood, Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, Jojo Moyes…. Some with no spice, some spicy enough that I’m too embarrassed to put them on Goodreads! 😅 it’s probably a little abnormal, but I’m comfortable with who I am and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Though I’m clearly not the target market.

It's not abnormal. It's okay to enjoy things outside of your target audience. Spread your wings. As a woman, I would be thrilled if my guy friends read these books so we could talk about them.

You’ve got to drop some recommendations of those 🌶️ ones that don’t go on your goodreads.

It’s not abnormal to read books you enjoy 🙂
