Ah, I see you have Sandra Brown on your list! I miss her! I quit reading shortly after she switched to romantic suspense. I just didn't like her books as well after that.
There's some books here I haven't heard of ~ I have a feeling I'll be adding more to my dreaded tbr pile :-)
Renee I love this list because it covers such a broad spectrum and time span. There are oldie faves of mine on here. (Tom & Sharon Curtis for one)
I've only been keeping a spreadsheet for a couple of years and have a pretty good memory for books I REALLY loved, but I still feel overwhelmed at even starting this.
I had a lot of trouble with mine too but I'm glad I stuck with it cuz I've bene re-discovering lots of oldies but goodies. Anyhoo,We have many books in common :)
I was SHOCKED to see Grace Ingram's Red Adam's Lady on your list. I LOVE that book and have never seen it mentioned by anyone else before now.
A very interesting list!
I rec'd my google alert this morning, so I visited your blog. I am HONORED to have books listed in your top favorite list, Renee! Thanks so much.
I hope you find many more wonderful reads.
Smooches,
Cheryl :-)
Wow! What an impressive list!!
this is one on my to read list "The Serpent Prince" by Elizabeth Hoyt but I have to finish all of Barbara Pierce's first!
have a great Halloween.

author of Oasis of My Heart.
Dev: Yeah, me too. I have a bunch of old SB in my keeper box and I haven't read any of her newer stuff. But I have her latest "Play Dirty" on hold at the library cuz Keishon liked it so we'll see how that one turns out.
Rosie: You need a spreadsheet, babe :) It was rather overwhelming and I was pretty amazed at myself.
Giselle: I saw your list and I see lots in common. You have a lot of Canham and I've only read one of hers but I've been meaning to try more.
Barbara: Oh, wow, finally someone else who has read RAL. It's rather old (1973) and very HTF. Every once in a while someone mentions it at AAR message board. So there are others out there but it's so sad that people will never get to read it unless they want to pay over $30 for a copy. Of course, there is always inter-library loan.
Cheryl: OMG, one of my favorite authors is commenting on my blog! I'm thrilled. I have many other books of yours in my keepers. His Secondhand Wife almost made my list too. I have several more TBR. Thanks for all the great reading.
Tara: The Serpent Prince was wonderful. Very dark anti-hero type and I loved it.
You are most welcome, Renee. And thank you for the support!
Cher :-)
You list is awesome! I should just print it out and start reading from the top ;) Although I know I don't like regency romances all that much so I can skip those. But bestill my heart, Anne Stuart holds a number one spot!! I need to read To Have and To Hold by Gaffney just as soon as I can get my hands on it!

I love seeing these lists. And there are a few on yours that I've never even heard of, so that's great.
I've been wanting to get Notorious Rake by Balogh, but I'm too cheap to order one off the internet. I keep hoping to find one in a UBS, but I don't think it's going to happen. And Render Unto Caesar--does that have romance in it? I remember hearing about it and thinking it sounded interesting, but if it has romance then I really want to read it. ;)
Cindy: Yes, I knew you would want to skip the regencies. TH&TH is a wonderful book. Another dark hero and a fascinating heroine. Worth finding a copy. If you have trouble, let me know and I know I can find one and mail it to you :)
Jennie: I loved seeing your list too. I keep hoping Notorious Rake will be reprinted someday. Balogh mentioned something about her old traditionals possibly being reprinted sometime so cross your fingers. Render Unto Caesar is historical fiction. It features a female gladiator and it has a romance with a HEA. I loved it.
I've been wanting to comment since I saw your list but didn't have time. We have quite a few in common! I just posted mine now. I think I could add a few more - and wish I could, but I'm fairly satisfied with the list I did. And thanks to seeing your list, I'd forgotten one that I hadn't added onto mine - Nightengales Song. Glad I checked your list first before sending mine in *g*
V. interesting list! I see a lot of my favorite books there too. I'll have to print it out and see if I can mine it for gems, including Red Adam's Lady. Thanks for posting it.
Kristie: I'm glad to help out with your list :) I looked at your list and I think I counted about 60 books that I have also read.
Rachel: Thanks, we have lots of books in common and because of your list I started reading Gibson's Simply Irresistible which has been hanging around my TBR forever. I'm so glad AAR "forced" me into this because it turned out to be a very worthwhile exercise.
I love making lists, Renee, so even though this was a lot of work, it was still fun for me. And there's the added benefit of seeing what books everyone else loves too. Last time we did this in 2004, blogging wasn't such a big thing, so there was less of that. So - hooray for progress. :)
I hope you enjoy Simply Irresistible. Love that book.
Rachel: I'm excited to see the final results but it was just as much fun to see everyone else's lists and compare and get ideas for more books to read. I think they should do it every couple years but I know it's a lot of work. I'm just glad they are doing it again.
I am so happy to see an Asaro book on your list ;-) A great list. I just posted mine. It's more like around 45 or so and that's it. I left quite a few titles out but hey, like you said, it depends on the mood of the day. I'm printing this out. We do seem to have similar reading tastes.
