jmc_bksCheck out the interim list! Most of them are not among my favorites. In fact, there are only 21 on that list (out of 100) that I am tentatively including on mine. I've managed to compile a list of 71 books that are keepers, but I'm having a hard time ranking them.
The interim results seem very heavy on Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Linda Howard and Nora Roberts. I'm a little surprised, given NR's backlist, that it isn't more skewed toward her...but maybe the sheer number results in scattered voting?
On my (incomplete) ballot, Nora Roberts has 10 entries (including 2 JD Robb books), Carla Kelly has 6, Suzanne Brockmann has 4, Mary Jo Putney and Jennifer Crusie have 3 each. Otherwise, no other author has more than two entries, and most have only one.
