I am reading Jude right now.have you read any of Thomas Hardy classics set in ye olde England?
I have never heard of this genre before but I find the idea of it very interesting. I read a lot of dystopian novels and often the violence is just too disturbing.I have begun reading this genre, the so called 'cosy clean apocalypse ' stories.
I read all romances, clean or otherwise, if the author is good! Since I am way past that age I usually fast forward through the steamier scenes.My sister reads "clean" romances. About Mennonite girls who want to marry the boy next door, stuff like that. There's something standing in their way but it all works out.
oh wonderful - his own life story was a bit strange in ways - and I don't know if anyone has written a biography but there are accounts all over the internet from his early days as a architect who went to inspect a church in Cornwall and fell in love with a lovely woman who was the sister-in-law of the local vicar - a truly interesting story which I will leave you to hunt for - it was here he must have started writing poetry and wrote some lovely stuff about his early courtship with the lady mentioned - can't recall her name now without leaving this page and hunting! But it was a sad marriage - I will say no more! do tell me what you thought of Jude eventually! Emma was here name apologizes - she was by all accounts very attractive and spirited and lost it all to love??I am reading Jude right now.
Try Millie Copper, I certainly love her style.I have never heard of this genre before but I find the idea of it very interesting. I read a lot of dystopian novels and often the violence is just too disturbing.
I plan to see what the Goodreads site list under clean apocalypse and hope my local library has some of them.
It's just lovely to read novels where everyone is nice to each other. It makes you feel so much better in yourself.My sister reads "clean" romances. About Mennonite girls who want to marry the boy next door, stuff like that. There's something standing in their way but it all works out.
I like Hardy very much but must be in the mood. His novels are masterly classics but usually very depressing!I am reading Jude right now.
We agree! I don't restrict my reading to "sweet" novels but Hero and heroine, plus families have to be nice! I am reading a series at the moment that is full of humor and love yet makes for gripping reading without long drawn out fights and misunderstandings!It's just lovely to read novels where everyone is nice to each other. It makes you feel so much better in yourself.
