Maybe the credit crunch is drawing people back to 'escapist' fiction. In Psychologies magazine this month, a psychologist is predicting a rise in people being drawn to 'happy ending' stories. So that may mean that romance fiction could experience a boom.
To be honest I'm fed up of walking into Waterstons and tripping over all the celeb books, give me fiction any day of the week.
the two comments at the bottom says it all.
