So, I would divide up your books: give the Chicklit and any novels by the following authors to the library. They are top selling romance authors whose books have a good chance of circulating:  
Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle  
May Jo Putney  
Linda Howard  
Jennifer Cruise  
Susan Elizabeth Phillips  
Nora Roberts/ J.D. Robb  
Julie Garwood  
Sandra Brown  
Diana Gabaldon

How about Julia Quinn, Jude Deveraux, and Judith McNaught?

Well, no, of course not. Certainly there will be people who want to read them. Just as certainly, there will be people who don’t and would appreciate a nice mystery.

I’m just saying: include the mysteries and whatnot in the giveaway to the retirement home.

The Women’s Prison Book Project is a great place to donate used romance novels. I volunteered for them for a while and romance novels are requested quite often. It’s a great organization.
