Flaunt it Friday: Guilty Pleasures

Okay.. these are the guilty pleasures I am prepared to reveal in such a place!

Firstly - coffee. It's got to be proper coffee. Preferably Atomic's Veloce blend.
Must. Have. It.
I know I'm an addict. Do I feel guilty? ...er.. no.





Next - chocolate. Should be at least 70%. Must. Have. It. Don't feel guilty about this one either!



And thirdly - romance novels. Especially with sufficient rumpy-pumpy (tasteful of course) in them. Okay - I do fell a bit bad about this one. I mean, I'm a librarian. I should read improving literature for my mind. I should read complex plots with intricately twisted deeper meanings. Heroines who spend a whole chapter in eloquent self-absorbed navel gazing.

But I don't. Not usually. I like popular fiction and I like happy endings. And I like a bit of heart-racing, lip-licking nookie.

So there!

  3. *chuckles* some nice 'vices' there Penny o.O I love fantasy, in fact cannot go to sleep without at least putting my nose into a nice book - usually fantasy and with heroines is the best!

    Great Penny! I love this post! You slay me! You have negotiated this challenge with flying colors! Kudos! Do you think that I have gone too far this time?

    I love the nookie in the novels as well. As long as they are set in the proper historical period! Have you read "The Dark Queen"? How about "The Birth of Venus?". Love it!

    Guess what?

    I hate coffee.
    I don't like dark chocolate.
    I've never read a romance novel.

  10. Love your vices. I have the good coffee and cocolate ones too though I don't drink coffee (DH does) I am still a coffee snob.

    As for the romance novels - not quite me but I laughed about the nooky bits - Lisa (see the link on my blog) writes romance novels and says those bits are the hardest to write!
