Last night we turned the clocks back an
hour here in the USA. We gained an hour of sleep, but we lose an hour of
daylight every day until daylight savings kicks in again next year. For now, though, what
do we do with all these shorter days and chilly weather? I have just the thing!
How about curling up with a soft blanket, a mug of something warm, and a
fabulous book? My preference is Historical Romance.
Why Historical Romance, you ask? Oh,
only about a million reasons! I love being transported back to days-gone-by. I
love the beautiful clothes and the elegant architecture. I love horses and
carriages and flickering lamplight. I love that there were no cell phones or
televisions—information had to be carried person to person. I love that social
rules were different and more complicated to navigate. And I love all the
intricate storylines that can be woven into these historical settings.

Romance? Here are a couple great links to check out: Great Escapes Books and Historical Romance Network
