I remember once, long ago, when she said that her favorites westerns are the ones with John Wayne in them because then she knew there'd be a love story, and that really stuck with me.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-50717635259132158012015-12-25T13:54:14.255-06:002015-12-25T13:54:14.255-06:00Well, Naomi, as you know, I'm "THAT kind ...Well, Naomi, as you know, I'm "THAT kind of teenage girl" too. ;) <br />Although yes, definitely, if there's no plot besides the romance...bleh.

THE ROMANCE THING. I'll admit, I'm...YESH. THE ROMANCE THING. I'll admit, I'm much more likely to be interested in a story if it has at least a HINT of romance. Otherwise…mehh, not quite so much ;p<br /><br />But then again. CFR. That, too.<br /><br />And literature references! Great list, Naomi! :)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-79912853336650179552015-12-23T06:01:31.584-06:002015-12-23T06:01:31.584-06:00Girls, we're in the same boat here. :-) Thanks...Girls, we're in the same boat here. :-) Thanks for commenting!Naomi Pittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932777444665441104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-43274087001402195462015-12-22T12:30:29.480-06:002015-12-22T12:30:29.480-06:00I loved this, Naomi!

Hey, don't feel sill...Love this post, Naomi! <br /><br />Hey, don't feel silly about liking romance--I'm not a teenager any more and I STILL love it. Not too much--like you said--but little bits here and there? That's awesome. <br /><br />That's one reason why I loved The Force Awakens so much--they included the beginnings of a very sweet romance and boy, was I happy. :)Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008803196079197549.post-61392043530126058222015-12-22T00:06:37.782-06:002015-12-22T00:06:37.782-06:00Thank you so much for having me, Heidi!
