While we hope the box you receive contains a subgenre or author you enjoy, we also have our fingers crossed that you’ll love trying something new. And as always, our mission statement is to share the love and share the romance.

Winners, please check your email inbox and spam folders!
The Kiss Quotient
Right now it’s A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde, or maybe The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang.
It wasn’t in 2019, but can I count The Duchess Deal (read in the last week or so of 2018)?
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison! I listened to it through my library and loved it so much that I immediately ordered the paperback to read with my eyeballs!
My favorite book so far this year has been the Nagoski sisters’ Burnout, which I found based on a rec from this site!
My favourite book so far this year is My European Family: The First 54,000 Years by Karing Boojs, I listened to it in Swedish, which is the author herself reading. Very enjoyable and interesting. I like this kind of history/science that is shaped around a kind of story.
My favorite book so far this year hasn’t come out yet! But it’s Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev and it’s absolutely spectacular. I can’t wait for more people to read it so I can gush over it with someone else!
The Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews.
The Talisman by Stephen King
My favorite book that I’ve read in 2019 is My Sister the Serial Killer.
My favourites have been Ruby Dixson’s Ice Planet Barbarians. Crazy, but so much fun!
It’s terrible, I hardly remember what I’ve read so far this year, particularly while going through eye surgery. I think I will have to go with A Change of Heart by Sonali Dev for the sheer intensity of feels. (I had to put it down two or three times and give myself some space before I could go on with it, that’s how intense it was.)
A Matter of Time by Margaret Locke
I really loved the Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. This month I started the Lady Julia Gray series by Deanna Raybourn and that is looking very promising.
Thomas Page McBee’s AMATEUR
Ok. I have to list two here. First Any Old Diamonds by K J Charles. Another great story with a heist involved that was superb. The other is His Quiet Agent by Ada Maria Soto. I’ve never read her before but this was such a quiet, intense (and surprisingly no sex!) read that will stick to the ribs. I am definitely excited to explore a backlist on a newly found author.
The Huntress by Kate Atkinson!
Queen of Swords, Sara Donati
M.C.A. Hogarth–Healer’s Wedding
The best book I’ve read so far is The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham. I must be the only one who tried Polaris Rising and didn’t like it at all!
The Bear & the Nightengale and the rest of that trilogy – I wanted to start again as soon as I’d finished!
Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas (I’m behind), also her Devil’s Daughter
I really liked the last book club book (space! science! plotting! friendship!) even though I’ve already forgotten what it was called. Burnout is absolutely A+ so far and I also liked the Laura Vanderkamp book about having enough time. The Ultimate Pi Day Party was a definite happy book noise book and I’m very into the Reluctant Royals series (angst! recognizing emotions! working through feelings of self-doubt!).
I’ve been very interested in books about reducing stress this year.
My favorite so far is Katherine Arden’s The Winter of the Witch. Really enjoyed this trilogy.
Not romance, but All Systems Red by Martha Wells has been my favorite so far.
I discovered Molly Harper through this site and fell in love. I don’t have much time to read for pleasure (I read for a living, LOL) but I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and Harper’s “How to Date Your Dragon” and “Love and Other Wild Things” have been my favorites this year by far.
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.
So far my favorite book has been a non-romance. Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie. I bought the ebook on my Kindle on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I’ve mainly been rereading this year and it was a pleasant break in between.
Spectred Isle by K J Charles. One of the only modern books I love in the same way as M R James.
Closely followed by anything else of hers.
Scandal Above Stairs (Kat Holloway book 2) by Jennifer Ashley
The Kingdom of Copper by S.K. Chakraborty. The second in a trilogy, but I liked this better than the first.
The Girl He Used to Know from Tracey Garvis Graves 🙂
Only a promise by Mary Balogh
Polaris Rising, i love scfi romance and never seem to find enough of it.
I actually decided to do the spreadsheet thing this year, and I found myself kind of shocked by the amount of books that didn’t rate 5 stars–even the ones by favorite authors. It appears that my favorites for the year, barring rereads, are a tie between Julie Anne Long’s Lady Derring Takes a Lover and Jayne Fresina’s Bespoke. Long is back in her stride with her return to historical romance, and Bespoke immediately triggered spasms in my one-click response and a Fresina reading binge. Oddly, these were the first historicals I’d read in ages and they absolutely hit the spot.
Mine has been Into The Drowning Deep by Mira Grant, it’s a tremendous book with amazing characters and bi, lesbian and autistic rep among so many other things!
The Madman’s Daughter
My favorite so far is American Dreamer by Adriana Herrera – SO GOOD!!
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
I am reading Callie Hutton’s Marriage Mart Mayhem Series.
