I've just discovered romance novels. Happened upon a Georgette Heyer novel and then started the Charlaine Harris - Sookie Stackhouse series. I feel as though I should be reading something more thoughtful - but I just enjoy them so much! Like eating dessert, but without the calories. A similar type of book that also has elements of mystery/adventure/archeology, is the Elizabeth Peters(author) - Amelia Peabody series (maybe about 12-14 books). The series is set in turn-of-the-century England and Egypt. A British family including the non-conventional Amelia, go to Egypt for archeology and typically get caught up in murder, politics and other mayhem.
