  6. Bodice rippers were huge in our town in Scotland. They had an entire section of the library devoted to them -- easily as big as non-fiction -- and were eagerly passed from reader to reader. I had a good friend with a two-a-day habit. She knew better, but she couldn't help herself.

  7. There are many popping up in the US, too. I love reading books like this on fictionwise and ravenousromance.com. It really is great escapism.
