I must have been an early bloomer in romance reading. I lost interest in it before I even hit the lower end of the target age range. By my mid twenties I had tired of reading the "bodice-ripping historical novels" that I had been hooked on since I was a teen. I didn't even know they had moved on to more comtemporary characters. Maybe I'll try a few since I have three more years as their target audience. 
It is true that I will now read things in public that I never would have before. I read lots of true crime books that never left my bedroom before. I don't even like them hanging around the house. I'm always worried that someone will think I'm a psycho. When I came out of bookstore with "Helter Skelter" at the age of 12 (1975) my mother was horrified. All these years later I still hide it from people. |
LOL you sound like me I stopped reading romance novels once I hit high school. I enjoy horror, fantasy, mysteries and literary fiction. Now I can read without strange looks when I'm reading a book.
