Teen Street Team member Jackie is our guest blogger for this month and talks about their favorite romance reads.

Hey readers! We’re super excited to announce our not-so-surprising genre for this month: Romance! Join our teen-led book club meeting to talk about all of your favorite cheesy romances, or even discover a few to add to your “to read” list. Even if you aren’t a romance novel fan, you can come to share some of your favorite rom-com movies and shows as well!

Personally, I don’t find myself reading much Romance (I’m more of a dystopian girl), but when I read Heartless by Marissa Meyer, that all changed. There are plenty of romance novels out there that truly do a good job of painting a world where the relationship between characters feels natural, and you can often find yourself lost in it. To me, Meyer’s pre-Alice-in-Wonderland setting was perfect. It was quirky and interesting while maintaining the elements of nostalgia from watching the movie as a child. I was thoroughly surprised and impressed at how well she was able to blend fantasy and romance so seamlessly into a single novel– and how easily I invested myself in it.

Even if you aren’t a huge Romance fan, I encourage you to explore the different romance novels out there; from realistic fiction romance to dystopian end-of-the-world romance, I have no doubt you’ll find a story that piques your interest. So if you don’t have any Valentine’s day plans, then come join us for Reel Reading on Monday, February 28th from 7-8 p.m.! Have a valentine? Bring them along with you!
