    I stand with @ashira and @selah-chelyah, as I’m sure you were suspecting. 😉  Historical accuracy is important.  However, I come close to “alternate history” when I read old sci-fi books.  If, say, there’s a sci-fi or dystopian novel written in the 40s about the then future 80s, well, that’s technically alternate history, since it never ended up happening. 😀

    My most recent interest in that area has been in reading short sci-fi stories by Walter M. Miller.  They were written in the 50s, and are some of the best worldbuilding and character portrayals in short stories I’ve ever read.  (Of course, I haven’t read a lot of short stories, so that’s not much to go on. 😉 )

    @eden-anderson @e_elaine_soup5 I like romance too, and I agree that the book has to be about something other than just romance.  However, I do enjoy some kinds of love triangles! 😮 😀 It seems that’s a pretty unpopular opinion around here…

    Are there any romance cliches that you do like?
