Looking for a new book to read? Here’s a good place to find one.

I’ve got a new reason for you to love this time of year (as if sunshine and swimming and vacation aren’t enough to love, right?). Every summer, the Romance Writers of America publishes a list of the winners of The RITA Award, which is the highest award for excellence in published romance fiction.

Up to 2,000 novels are entered in the competition. The winners are announced at a black tie awards ceremony at the Romance Writers of America annual conference, which happens in July. I’ve never had the honor of being a finalist in this contest, but lemme tell you this is really big stuff. If an author is a RITA winner, she’s incredibly talented.

Here are some of this year’s winners:

I can’t wait to grab these books, settle into a comfy chair on my deck, and read. Don’t see your favorite category in the above photos? Check out the full list of RITA winners here.

We’ve got a few more weeks to cuddle up with a great book. Let’s do this!

Love,

Lynn
