The winner of the January newsletter contest drawing is Audra! Congratulations! I’ve sent you a direct email so you can let me know which of my titles you’d prefer to receive for your prize.
You may remember that this month’s newsletter contest asked what your favorite all time book is. Audra’s was Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, which was a great choice – happens to be one of my favorites as well. Would you like some other suggestions for your reading lists? Here are the titles that were submitted as “all time favorites” from the contest participants. Since I figure you already know about mine, I didn’t include the contestants that named my books, though I definitely appreciated that!! Enjoy, and hope you find many TBRs here.
Those who submitted these as their favorites sometimes included the reasons why in their email. In the interests of space, I just gave the title/author here, but if you’d like to comment and say why you loved any one of these titles, don’t hesitate to do so.
Also, don’t forget to visit here tomorrow for the Laced with Desire author blog tour! Four more chances to win books, as well as to find out fashion “secrets” about us (chuckle – things you may decide you didn’t want to know!)

Wow! That huge long list reminds of some I loved but forgot, just didn’t qualify as my favorite. Lots of great authors, too.
Alas, too many books, not enough time.
