KeepersI have been thinking recently, about the number of romance books on my keeper shelf. For some reason, I thought that I had to have at least 50 books that are so great, so wonderful, that moved me in some way that I kept them on the 'I want to be buried with these books' shelf.
Imagine my surprise, when I did a quick count and found only 15. Yep. 15. How pathetic! I've been reading romance for about 20 years and only 15 books made it to the keeper shelf?
So, without further ado, here are the aforementioned books (in no particular order).
Lord of Scoundrels - Loretta Chase
Flowers from the Storm - Laura Kinsale
For My Lady's Heart - Laura Kinsale
Getting Rid of Bradley - Jenny Crusie
Something Wonderful - Judith McNaught
Heaven, Texas - Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Then Came You - Lisa Kleypas
After The Night - Linda Howard
Her Secret Thrill - Donna Kauffman
Knock Me Off My Feet - Susan Donovan
Wicked - Jill Barnett
All Through The Night - Connie Brockway
Saving Grace - Julie Garwood
Indiscreet - Alison Kent
By Design - Madeline Hunter
Interesting to note that out of the 15 mentioned, only 6 are contemporary romances. I am not a big historical romance reader (would read 4 or 5 contemps to 1 historical romance), yet 9 historical romances made my keeper list.
