Budding Romance: Edward and Bella

Today I watched Twilight again. I've lost count how many times I've actually watched the movie. I loved the Twilight series (I'm counting the days until Nov. 23 and New Moon hits the theater) and couldn't put the books down as I read them. The characters are so real. And to let you in on a little secret, I'd love nothing more than to go to one of the many Twilight Conventions being held around the US by I won't let myself indulge that much.

But this blog isn't about that. It's really about the budding romance between Bella and Edward. Sigh. Their romance is that of the forbidden nature. They both know they shouldn't get close, yet they can't stop their attraction for one another. Their desire to be together is so overpowering that nothing else matters. And isn't that what most of us in "real life" would like to have?

What is Romance in Bloom?

To me Romance in Bloom is that first bud or spark of romance between a man and a woman, a boy and a girl. It's that bubbly feeling you get inside. The warmth you feel whenever you think about him. The flush you feel on your cheek and the silly grin on your face at seeing him again. It's the beginning of what could be the happiest days of your life.

I believe this is what draws romance readers to book after book. The yearning to experience this feeling over and over and over again. It can even be what keeps a reader turning page after page until they reach the last line of the best novel they've read until they pick up a new one.

So until the next one, keep reading faithful reader. Keep falling in love with each story, each tale, each irresitible new couple that is brought to life by your faviorite author or authoress.

A New Outlook...

Today is the start of a new blog. I've had this account for two years without really knowing what to write. And then this morning, poof, like an ephiemy I knew what I was going to do. So sit back, buckle your seatbelts and get ready to read my ramblings.
