Rach's Reading Club

I just got your email and figured it out. Sorry to bother you. I know how it is with people asking questions they should know the answer to.

So, I just finished "The Longevity Diet" by Valter Longo. It's non-fiction or health and nutrition. I highly recommend it, but see no place for it except vaguely in mental health. As for the one I'm currently in, "Romancing the Beat: Story Structure for Romance Novels" by Gwen Hayes, can that go in romance or no? I understand if you say no. But I'm specifically working to learn to write in a new genre, so my book choices will be around that, whether they fit here or not. Also, can my naughty book choices go in Romance? Not sure I want folks seeing that I'm reading those, but we will see. I have been pondering making my cousin's store more romantica because I'm not really comfortable with writing what she's doing.
