We have a great display of different kinds of romances at the Main library. We also have several bookmarks for different types of romances for some more ideas on our Readers Wall by the internet computers. Romances focus on relationships and people like them because of their emotional draw. There are no surprises, but there may be a few unexpected passions (as Connie the librarian says, “ooh la la”). They are usually quick reads with a happy ending. What’s not to like, right? Here are some options from the “first love” bookmark. A lot of these options are located in our young adult section, but they're also some of the most fun and emotionally drawing books you'll find. These choices are respectfully taken from Novelist, something else you gotta love.Candy by Kevin Brooks
