Probably:-) she's pretty addictive:-) or at least her heroes are:-p

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Yes, Julie's heroes are swoooooooon worthy! :-) A while back I read nothing but her, and then sort of got burned out. So I had to take a break, but there are some books of hers that just hold really special places in my heart. One is I love this book!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I love the Lairds the best and Lucas from Prince Charming. I haven't read Saving Grace yet, I think I am going to have to gove it ago!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Saving Grace was a lovely book, Suzanne. Enjoy!

[Tanith]

Is the top 100 list in order of preference/votes?

That's a lot to add to my to-read list.

Does anyone have a method way of keeping track of their to-read list? All the books I want to read are just heaped up in one list. I’m struggling to prioritise...

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That is the ranking according to votes recieved.

Did you know you can add shelves on goodreads, and make them "exclusive" so they show up like the goodreads read, to-read, currently-reading shelves? Just go to My Books, Edit Shelves, scroll down to Add Shelves, add the shelves then when you're done, go back to Edit Shelves and click the Make Exclusive link.

You can create just about any kind of shelf you want and categorize them. Make Historical Romance TBR shelf, Contemporary TBR shelf, etc.

OH, and you don't HAVE to make them exclusive. Only do that if you want to use that shelf in place of the goodreads to-read or currently-reading shelf.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I printed out the list and also make a Word doc, crossing off the books I've read. From there I have something to go for.

[MashJ]

So should I buy the last two in Quinn's Bridgerton series or not bother?

I really adored and also enjoyed . I quite liked some of the others but I found really disapointing and saw the reviews on the last two were mixed so I passed.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm going to finish them up this summer, Mshj. I have the last 2 as well.

[Tanith]

I had mixed feelings about To Sir Phillip, With Love too.
However quite enjoyed On the Way to the Wedding.
I'm going to start organising my to-reads better today while I'm at work. Might as well kill some time so the day goes by faster.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I really liked "To Sir Phillips, With Love", and "Romancing Mister Bridgerton", they are two of my faves of the series! lol, I would say carrying on reading, although "On The Way to the Wedding" is the one I like least, however we seem to have opposite tastes so you may like it! : )

[Katie]

I purchased all the books of the Bridgerton series and the last two were no way near as good as the rest. My favourite was "To Sir Phillip with love" - mainly because I just loved Eloise - she reminds me of me - stroppy and opinionated!

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

'To Sir Philip with Love" was not one of my favourites but I loved 'Romancing Mister Bridgerton'. Colin and Penelope are one of my favourite couples from the series.

[Tanith]

Oh! I forgot all about Penelope and Colins story. That was a good one!
I remember in one of the books before Colin telling his brothers that he would never mary her. But Penelope over heard. Man did I want to hit Colin over the head with something. Luckily he made up for it in 'Romancing Mister Bridgerton'.

[Katherine]

Colin and Penelope were also one of my favorite couples. I haven't read the whole series and what I did read has been out of order. After I finish the Wallflower series I need to finish the Bridgerton series.

[C Joy]

I'm with you on "To Sir Phillip, With Love", and though I have seen a few who appreciated it, I loved Francesca and Michael's story in "When He Was Wicked", 'cause the love scenes were really wicked haha

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I am reading The Viscount Who Loved Me, next as I feel like rereading the series. Anthony and Kates' is a good one aswell I think.

I am reading Dreaming of You at the moment. And am being reminded why Derek Craven is one of the best heroes...ever!

[MashJ]

Tanith wrote: "Oh! I forgot all about Penelope and Colins story. That was a good one!

Yes- Penelope and Colin were lovely characters (and that scene where she is unveiled is great fun) It wasn't my favourite of the Bridgertons which would be Sophie and Benedict because it had a bit more tension and sniping! You've all reminded me why I've passed on the last two books in the series and with so many good suggestions floating around in various threads (thank you!) I think I'll try one of the other authors next.

Joy - I loved 'When He Was Wicked' as well. It's my favourite of all the Bridgerton books and not just because of the 'wicked' love scenes. It was more serious than the others although there was humour as well and Michael was drool-worthy.

Suzanne - I also like 'The Viscount Who Loved Me' because of the banter between Anthony and Kate in the beginning when they dislike each other. I thought the scene with the game of Pall Mall was hilarious.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I am reading this at the moment, and coincidentally just finished reading the Pall Mall scene. Lol I loved it, "The Mallet of Death" LMAO I just love the display of such bad sportsmanship : )

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

Suzanne wrote: "I am reading this at the moment, and coincidentally just finished reading the Pall Mall scene. Lol I loved it, "The Mallet of Death" LMAO I just love the display of such bad sportsmanship : )"

Yes, I love how they all cheat at Anthony's expense.

[Katie]

A big thank you to Uniqueluy Moi. I printed off the list you posted and had great fun ordering books at the library from the list. I'm looking forward to discovering some new authors! - Maybe some of them will be as good as Lisa Kleypas.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I have copied the list and am trying to work through it. Maybe that could be an idea for a yearly challenge, completeing all the books on the list

[Katherine]

Suzanne I was thinking the same thing. I've read many of them, but there are many more that I haven't. It would be a great challenge.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

There ya go! For September's reading challenge I'm thinking of making it a "Challenge Yourself Challenge" where you can choose your own personal challenge. Maybe choose to read a certain number of books from that list, or choose to read a certain number of books from your TBR shelf, or clean up a series, read a new author... all sorts of possibilities!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

That is a good idea, I am already challenging myself to read the ones on the list, I have counted and I have read about 25 of those books, so I have a load to go.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I counted 23 that I've read, but I own at least half of them.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I like that idea!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I don't own any of them (the ones I haven't read) I don't think! I have read all the LK, Julie Garwood, JR Ward, Susan Elizabeth Phillips and the odd one or two others, but as for the rest I just hope that they are in the library!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You know, I could even start it for August and make it a permanent monthly challenge, in addition to the others. Think it's too much? I mean, not everyone has to participate.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Thats a good idea, you could make it a challenge that lasts the rest of the year. I am sure most the people on here have read at least a few of those books, or atleast the LK ones.

When I tick them off, that way I can feel like I have acheieved something! I love challenges : )

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm glad you love the challenges, Suzanne.

I'm thinking of how best to do it so that it's something more people will want to participate. Our challenges don't have huge numbers, but I think the ladies really enjoy them.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Challenges are great, it gives you an excuse to buy more books : )

I think that your idea of a Challenge yourself challenge is a good idea, so that people can chose how many they want to read, that way, people won't be overwhelmed with lots of books, or underwhelmed with a small amount, as you can pick yourself.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I'm taking advantages of these challenges to read books I've owned and need to read. Of course, that doesn't stop me from buying more. :)

[Becky]

I have this list at home and currently have read 34 of the books on the list, and have another 10 at home to read. And so far I think the list is pretty good.

A book worth your time is A Hint of Wicked from Jennifer Haymore. I picked it up on a whim and adored it!! Also Emma Wildes-Indecent Proposition.

[Katherine]

Anyway you want to organize the challenge sounds good to me. Something to work towards that's for sure.

[MashJ]

I got a delivery this week ready for my holiday and oops I opened it already.

3 Liz Carlyle, 1 Mary Balogh and 1 Gaelen Foley

Unfortunately I've already dipped into "Princess" and it's a pass from me. I just don't seem to get GF although I thought I'd love her stuff.

Hey ho- I'm loving this one and looking forward to these two next (especially Walrafen's book- I like how all the characters link through the books).



and finally I'm finishing Balogh's web trilogy by reading the first one!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Two Little Lies by Liz Carlyle came into the library for me today, I am looking forward to getting my hands on it

[MashJ]

Suzanne wrote: "Two Little Lies by Liz Carlyle came into the library for me today, I am looking forward to getting my hands on it"

UM I love that list! I've read 41 of them, so I'm going to try to red the other 59 before the end of the year:-) Thanks for posting it!!:-)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You're welcome!

I was glad I found it and was able to post it. I thought since they are the Top 100, when someone is looking for something to read, they might find a good book on that list :)

[Naoms]

Thank God for this! Thats a question I've been dealing with, since I'm out of Kleypas, Quinn, Medieros, Laurens, Dodd, Lindsey, James and Joyce... I'm trying Enoch as we speak...thats while reading Paranormal romances...whew, I'll have a busy summer ahead!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, Naomi!!! Have you read Julie Garwood's historicals? If not, RUN, don't walk, to your nearest book store and grab one. They are soooooooooooooooooooooo good.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

The Prize, The Bride, The Secret, and an American Western 1800's For The Roses.

I'm sorry you didn't love The Secret like I did.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOLOL It's ok, Naomi, I have broad shoulders, heap it on, I can take it!!!!!!! LOLOL

I reviewed For The Roses and maybe some of the Highlanders. If you check my author-julie-garwood shelf you can see what I've read and reviewed.

[Pamela(AllHoney)]

out of curiosity... does anyone know if there is a place u can download ebooks of Julie Garwoods' historicals? I've found a few ebooks on her contemps but not the historical ones.
