[Joanna Loves Reading, Bluestocking of HR novels]

I think you might be able to see it now. It doesn’t have the tally’s in it yet. Just the votes.

[Jan]

Thank you yes I can see it now :)

[Oleander]

Yes. Thank you!

[Sandra]

I don't understand, why you cant see the file, because it's open to everyone with the link :(

Susan, that's the order, because it's made in alphabetical order! Thanks for making this! Very practical! We should make it an habit. :)

I'm always surprised Candice Proctor (aka C.S. Harris) isn't higher in the tallies. I mean, I didn't vote for it (LOL), but Night in Eden is fantastic.

i agree, T. She's a really good writer. I didn't vote for Night in Eden because I only read it last year and I wanted to try out something new, although if it had won I probably would have reread anyway. But none of the books I voted for look as if they'll get a gig :( Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

It will be odd if a Courtney Milan book takes out a BOTM plus the novella BOTM in the same month, but it looks like that might be going to happen!

I've only read one Milan book and IMO it wasn't the best and Sam has been encouraging me to get going on the Brothers Sinister Series. I only voted yesterday, so my votes were slightly impacted by the numbers. Otherwise, two of my three choices wouldn't have been anywhere near chosen. The ones I did vote for (besides Milan) aren't really in the running either.

I didn't vote for Night in Eden for the same reason as you, but I would've probably read it again as well.

[Leena]

J lo ed the Duchess Deal when I first read it but, I prefer his step brother's book more.
The Heiress Effect. This one too can qualify for this trope.

[Jan]

I enjoyed Unraveled but have tried some others of hers that I didn't like as much. I'll keep an open mind though. She's a very popular author and there are probably others of her books I will like when I get to them.

Mine neither :(

1. The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Hotlon (28)

Interesting. Courtney Milan won twice! Maybe this time, I'll be able to finish Unlocked.
