I'm grateful to all those who help compile the results (including Cindy!) and can hardly wait till AAR publishes them. I have seen a couple bloggers post their own ballot. These are fun to look at and compare favorites so I hope more of you do this.

I've read all these but Beau Crusoe which is in my tbr. For some reason that just tickles me pink.

Alyssa said...

I enjoyed Games of Command, too, but I ultimately went with Driven in the futuristic category. I haven't read some of the other books on your list.

An Anne Stuart glom? Yay!!!

And the pollsters don't do the Annual poll - LLB likes to run this one as it helps her stay in touch with AAR readers.

You can thank me later ;)

Looks like I have a few books I need to put on the TBR list!

This is great! There's only one book on your list that I've actually read... so now I have lots of recs. Thanks!

Rosie: It's so fun to see what everyone else has read and compare, isn't it? We must have similar taste.

Alyssa: It was a toss up between GoC and Driven but I went with GoC because of the hero. Yummy, and completely bonkers over the heroine.

Cindy: Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks, Laurie! It's a lot of work I know. Hey, I love AS and started collecting the old categories in her backlist. I think I have 14 now most of which I got from PBS, and I have a few more to find. But I do thank you for all the other stuff you do at AAR.

Kristie: Wow, I think I was channeling your or maybe I'm psychic. We are a lot alike about our reading sometimes.

Kate: These are all good books and depending on your tastes, I think you'll enjoy them.

I don't think I've read any of these yet, so it looks like my TBR list just got a lot longer. :) I have to say I never really think about the books I read in terms of awards, but if I did, then Take Me There by P.F. Kozak would win hands down in the erotic romance category. Thanks for sharing your list!

Wow, I haven't touched my blog in over 6 years and I'm still logged in!  Good thing because I have no idea what my password is.  In ...
