I mean, seriously! How do they choose these books?????
And I wrote in most, myself. I think I didn't Paranormal (Anne Bishop) and Mystery/Suspense(David Galbraith/J.K.Rowling). This year's romance, for me, was "Heart of Obsidian".

Will go snoop through past years... They really need to have a NA category and Erotica category and put these books there...

Heart of Obsidian was in Paranormal for me :)))

Paranormal? Well, I suppose it is, lol. I guess I always associated that category with UF/Fantasy, rather than PNR.

Well there are shifters in it :D
For me it's a mix of sci-fi and paranormal :D

And hot shifters at that. It's a fascinating world. Both of her series are set in such different, yet intriguing worlds. She really is on of my favorite authors...

Mine too!!! I need to start her angel series soon, can't wait!!

Oh, how I'd like to read my favorite books for the first time, again... Enjoy :D

Yes I know what you mean, for some books I'd just like to erase my memory and read for the first time <3
Thank you :)))

I'm with you Mimi, I not happy with the Romance nominations AT ALL!
... and I think I only read one book out of all the other categories nominated.
I read a lot, but I don't think I'm that far out the of new releases loop to have missed everything!

I only voted in YA, YA PNR, Mystery and PNR/Fantasy this time around. There are books I love there.

But in romance, which I read more than anything? Of course not, it's the age of "Beautiful Disaster" and like. I'm as fine as anyone with NA, but that is NOT what I see as romance. And, JR Ward disappointed me with Blay&Qhuinn, so I'm not voting for that either.

I'm protesting by abstaining in the Romance genre. Not like GR knows or cares, but it makes me feel better.

I voted in 2 or 3 categories this time :(((((((( horrible horrible choices :((((((

I think I've read TWO of them. The genre is almost completely saturated with New Adult right now....angsty, angsty, angsty. I see the appeal on occasion, but that's not all that's out there! So yeah, I'm very disappointed.

Agreed! And I repeat, they should just move the NA books to their own genre. I don't dislike the genre, but it's not representative of Romance, as I think of it...
