Especially when you ...Yeah, it just sucks in a way. Especially when you work in a library and constantly are checking out those Christian themed romances to people, but the only ones with Jewish characters are either weird ass books like The Saturday Wife or murder mystery novels. Oh well, maybe someday when I search the library catalog under the subject "Jewish Romance" I'll get something other then The Way We Were! LOL<br><br>Anyway, still, happy birthday!JamiSingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-25737673933283636002009-07-10T15:03:02.768-07:002009-07-10T15:03:02.768-07:00AnimeJune: I know!

It's not just a lack of Jewish characters either. Where are the Africans? Asians? Muslims? Heck, the Canadians? LOL And why does every hero in a British historical have to be a bloody Duke? <br><br>I'm of two minds here. One, publishers are in it for the money and given the current state of the economy they're more likely to "play it safe" by continuing to churn out what they "know" will sell. And two? Readers claim they want "different" but then don't vote with their dollars when something "different" does come along. They're happy to pay lip service, but not cough up the bucks when it comes time for the follow-through.<br><br>But yeah, I hear you. I have a friend who is always on the look-out for Jewish characters in novels, and sadly she has to wade through an annoying amount of stereotyping. <br><br>I read a historical earlier this year, Rivals For The Crown by Kathleen Givens, and while I had a mixed reaction to the story, my absolute favorite parts involved one of the heroines, who was living in exile in Scotland with her Jewish family......Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-42540215665363103642009-07-10T09:55:15.132-07:002009-07-10T09:55:15.132-07:00Happy Birthday!

How come it's always "Greek tycoon" or something of that nature? How come it's never "The Jewish Musician's Sexually Repressed Bride" or "The Rabbi's Blind Date"? I mean, it's considered a mitzvah for a man to sexually please his wife and they've even sat down and figured out according to a man's job how many times a year he should do it. You'd think someone at Harlequin would take that and run with it. <br><br>Just starting to feel left out a bit. My British side (paternal) is well represented in romance novels. But geez, my maternal side seems to not be represented much at all. <br><br>So birthday girl and romance novel expert, do you know why?JamiSingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-89544584542847446842009-07-09T20:39:02.083-07:002009-07-09T20:39:02.083-07:00Happy Birthday!!
