DonnaLynn Hess of BJU faculty says we mustn't pronounce judgment on a book or genre until we have actually READ the book.
Today, after all my berating of romance novels, I actually read one.
AND IT WAS GREAT!
Woo-hoo! Long live Mr. Hoppy, Mrs. Silver, and the tortoise Alfie.
The book is 62 pages long and has large print and pictures on every page. You have no excuse not to read it. And be sure to get the edition that is illustrated by Quentin Blake. (The link is for the hard cover edition, so if you're interested in purchasing, you might want to see the paperback edition.)
DISCLAIMER:
For those of you who do not know me, this post (aside from my recommendation of the brilliant book Esio Trot) has been in jest. I do not recommend the reading of romance novels. Period.
