I guess that would just be cat Faunus in Remnant wouldn't it). Not necessarily. I'm sure plenty of people who aren't "supposed" to be the type of person to read romance novels but do anyway would hide it.

When I read Host, I didn't exactly go waving it around, simply because it was by the same author as Twilight. Putting a book on self is not even close to flaunting it in public. If she wasn't willing to even have a chance of having others see she has it, it is something more then cushy romance for sure.

I am male and yet I have romance stuff like Dawn of the Arcana, and Crimson Empire on my bookshelf. I don't see why a (not to be sexist or anything) girl would be embarrassed over having romance books when they are more likely to have them in the first place (they are usually targeted at female audiences) I wasn't saying it was the same situation, but rather an extension of the same. We quiet, calm people don't like other people knowing what we are reading/watching/drawing/writing anyway, let alone something slightly romantic. At some point, something reaches embarassment, and I don't think it has to be hentai.
