Who Reads Romance these days? A lot of people! 
I was very gratified to see the following statistics of what is selling this past year:
Romance : 1.438 Billion
Mystery/Suspense: 728 Million
Religious/ Inspirational: 717 Million
Sci Fi / Fantasy: 590 Million
Literary Fiction: 470 Million

I was pleased to see romance maintain its dominant position in the industry, but was especially pleased to see the strong showing of religion and inspirational titles. Sales of this category are hard to track because so many titles are sold through churches or Christian bookstores, which are not generally tracked by the traditional measures in the book industry.
