welcome to my new blog!

I've been blogging here for a few years, but I wanted to try this as a separate experiment. For years - really, almost a decade - I'd been trying to think of a format that would allow me to chatter about Betty Neels's romances (which I like, and love to mock) and also allow me to sort them into reasonable categories. See, for those who have never read her books, she wrote over 100 books for Harlequin (well, Mills and Boon). They have the same three or four plots over and over, and I wanted a way to chart them. I hadn't worked out a way to do it (and to be honest, I hadn't been trying very hard to find one), until I saw another blogger's tags the other day, and realized they could do what I want.
So what I plan to do is blog about a chapter of a Betts book every day until I run out of them. I don't own every single one - there are ten or so that I'm missing. Which, yes, means I own about 100 similar romances by the same author. They're strangely compelling, taken as a body - all those English women with jersey dresses and long hair marrying (nearly always) laconic Dutch doctors who are tall, with fair greying hair and very expensive cars and houses. Yes, houses - Betts doctors nearly always have more than one house.
