Top Ten Favorite Romances


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Favorite Romances

My list focuses on romance novels rather than couples.

1.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon-Love that lasts centuries?  No wonder this is one of my all time favorite romances.
2.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons-If you have ever read my blog, you know how much I love this book.  It is painful, beautiful romance at it's best.
3.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green-This isn't your typical romance novel but Hazel and Augustus' relationship is both heart-breaking and endearing.
4.) Sultry with a Twist by Macy Beckett-I just like that this is a fun romance that brings two childhood sweethearts together.
5.) The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward-I don't need to say anything about this series.  It speaks for itself. : )
6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead-Oh Dima and Rose, it was so hard to watch you fight it for so many books!
7.) Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell-Even though Scarlett and Rhett don't wind up together, I still think this story is the epitome of romantic.
8.) Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen-I think this book is terribly romantic and prefer it to Pride and Prejudice.
9.) The Bridal Quartet by Nora Roberts-I don't normally read Nora Roberts' books but I loved these and I am pretty sure that every single book made me cry.
10.) The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning-Mac and Barrons?  Enough said.

    I adored the Bride Quartet series, I was sobbing each book too lol. I normally don't read straight up romance but this series sucked me in, and so did her following series Inn Boonsboro, which follows the same concept - a book for each girl. Perfect pick!

    I completely agree with you on the Outlander series and Gone with the Wind is my go to reread when I need to not think. I also loved Roses by Leila Meacham.

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
