All About Romance’s News & Commentary Blog

As the November’s new release picks came in from AAR staffers, I kept noticing one thing. Everyone is really excited about the books coming out next month! As always, choices came from pretty much every subgenre out there. The top three choices were running neck and neck, and as it turns out, lots of us want to read a contemporary, a steampunk novel, and a historical. The three books that many of us want to read in November? The Black Hawk by Joanna Bourne, Heart of Steel by Meljean Brook and Until There was You by Kristan Higgins. So, what do you want to read?

As we head into October, our staff’s book tastes are roaming all over the place. Several of us are excited to see a new release by Elizabeth Hoyt amongst the books on sale in October. I personally am thrilled about seeing another China-set historical from Jeannie Lin – and I’m not the only one. We also have reviewers anticipating their chance to read contemporaries, westerns, paranormals, category romance and historicals, both British-set and otherwise. What will you be reaching for as the weather starts turning chilly this fall?
