Nicole Awesome! I'm not a huge fan of romance books but since reading the Outlander series I've started enjoying that genre more. Luckily I'm currently reading one of the Outlander books for the 2015 reading challenge!

Michaela (yuvilee) | 158 comments Noooo Hunger Games isn't romance! D:
I hate how everybody wants to romanticize it (especially all the marketing for the movies -.-)... i always thought of Katniss as someone who just uses whatever she needs to survive. Not someone who belives in romance.

I will see if Joyland has some romance, if it hasn't i think i will give the storyteller a go to see if it's really someone getting raped and then falling in love with the rapist... yuck.

But if it's one-sided it's not really romance :D

Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments Sure it is. He will win her over eventually.

Jason (jasondenness) | 1426 comments I think she does like him, she just doesn't know what she wants.

Well in the end they end up together so I'd say it's got romance"


For me it was never about romance... more about surviving or not being alone. But i wouldn't call Hunger Games a series with romance. Except for Finnick :D
