Once a week, I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else) that I’ve seen or read about recently. So here is this week’s For the love of …

This week, I loved this article What’s Hot in Romance? E-books, Baby! by Lori James, the COO of All Romance Ebooks, LLC. It talks about the trends in romance ebooks.

Here’s some of what she had to say…

“Romance is also about werewolves falling in love with girls. Sometimes it’s about two or more boys falling in love with a girl. It’s even about boys falling in love with boys. Formulaic is out. Edgy is in.”

“In 2009 we saw a 22% decline in straight contemporary. What were the niche sub-genres in which we saw a significant increase? Rubenesque (i.e. stories that feature women with curves), Paranormal, Werewolves and Gay Fiction—and the hotter the better. At least in terms of sales.”

I also believe we are seeing more acceptance of all kinds of love stories, and I like that. I like that, as a reader and a writer, my favorite types of books are doing well. I like that ebooks are selling well. I like to hear that more and more people are reading, and I think the convenience of having tons of books at your fingertips wherever you are (waiting at the doctor’s office, riding on the bus, waiting for your kid’s practice to end), means that people have more time to read during their busy schedules. No more lugging around a print book or being stuck without something to read because you finished the one book you had tucked in your purse. My PDA has hundreds of books loaded on it. Call it an addiction, but I love the hours of reading that affords me, the choices that offers me.

I still love print books, and I still buy my favorite books in print if I can. But I also love the convenience of buying ebooks. I love that in a matter of a couple clicks of the mouse, I have a new love story to read.

So do you read ebooks? What genres do you read? Comment or send me an email. I’d love to hear about your reading habits.

Thanks for stopping by!
