You know you're the Main Character in a ...

... YA novel if: you're sixteen and dealing with things that fill you with angst.

... YA paranormal romance if: you're sixteen and in love with a vampire/werewolf/fairy/angel/fallen angel/telekinetic. And it fills you with angst.

... mystery novel if: you trip over at least one dead body in the first three chapters, and then someone makes a comment about how they do things on CSI.

... romance novel if: certain naughty bits on you and/or your irresistible love interest are heaving, throbbing, surging, etc.

... historical romance novel: if this occurs while the lace of your bodice is ripping, and/or someone makes a double-entendre involving his sword.

Please add to the list!

… an Oprah book club book if: something horrible happens to you, but you become strong anyway.

"A sci fi romance if you aren't really sure your love interest is actually organic....and you don't care anyway!"
