Is the real accomplishment of FSOG that women are reading again and not ashamed to admit it's romance... #blogging #amreading #amwriting #Indieauthor #authors

I've been a romance book nerd since the 70s. I don't just love the sizzle and the smile that comes with a great romance, but the journey of romance writing has mirrored the journey of women and I find it fascinating. Nothing says You've come a long way, baby, better than 50 Shades. 40 years ago, women wouldn't have admitted to owning that book let alone having read it.

Now, women are out there saying, yep I'm a romance novel junky, give me naughty, give me raunchy, give me sweet. I am woman I want everything! I look at the twitter handles and they make me smile: smutty book friends, Just a book whore, etc.

Is it now cool, now chic to have a passion for the once dismissed romance novel. Why do you read that junk? men used to say. Now I don't know a man in LA, young or old, even my big tough old guy, who doesn't know about 50shades. They ain't asking why we're reading it any more.

So is that the real accomplishment of FSOG: women are back into the romance novel and proud of it no matter the variety they read?
