[quote=Anonymous]I started reading Romance books a few years ago after a lifetime of reading mostly classics and "good literature" books. Despite the predictability and formulaic nature, I [i]really[/i] enjoy them, especially the rom-com type, but do need a certain level of good writing. I know how ridiculous it sounds to be snobby about the romance genre but, for the escapism to work for me, it has to be decently written, I guess. So, for example, I like Sophie Kinsella, Christina Lauren, Emily Henry, Marian Keyes, to name a few.

Reading the other thread about Romance series, I realize that I have gravitated toward the books with the drawn/illustrated covers as opposed to the steamy photographs. In fact, that thread made me realize that I have actively avoid those books and assume that they are badly written--but I have never read one! Is this a ridiculous and  unfounded bias?  I would love to be told I am wrong because I read a ton and have read everything in my library by the above authors as well many others. What do other fans think? What can we judge by the covers?[/quote]
