Doreen Watt never needs to go to the library. If she ever wants to read a novel, all she has to do is open the door to her spare room. In there, she has 44,000 Mills & Boon books displayed in custom-made bookcases – that’s almost one copy of every Mills & Boon story ever published.
The 85-year-old from Weetangera, ACT, has loved the famous romance books since she first read one 45 years ago.
“In 1979 my children“I went to see the movie, and decided I wanted to read the book. It was a Mills & Boon story. I loved the ‘boy meets girl, there’s a problem, they have to resolve it, then they live happily ever after’, formula. I was hooked.”
