Best of 2007 Books
There are a lot of online voting contests going on right now. One is at All About Romance Novels, and another one starts January 15th at Cataromance. I enjoy seeing some of the nominees, because often I’ll get some good book recommendations or hear about authors I haven’t tried. For instance, this year I read One Real Cowboy by Jan Kenny. It was a fabulous western historical with a great hero. I’m looking forward to her new book that’s coming out (and Jan was nominated for best debut author at All About Romance). You can see the interim results here, and nominations are still going on.
One Harlequin Historical novel that was nominated is Beau Crusoe by Carla Kelly. I truly enjoyed this book because not only is it a Regency take-off on Robinson Crusoe, it’s downright funny. Loved it.
Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips was also a book nominated that I enjoyed this year. But then again, all of her books are so funny, I can’t think of many that I haven’t liked.
What were some of your favorite books in 2007?

Thanks for the tip - I went over and bounced up and down when I saw my name there!
The other good thing is that a lot of the books listed are on my tbr pile.
Jan Kenny Says:
Ooo, thanks, Michelle! And I had no idea about the AAR thing. Cool! But I couldn’t believe you or HIW hadn’t been nominated. :blush: I haven’t taken time to grab TWT off my tbr pil yet. And OMG I love the cover on Warrior King! Whoa, WTG!
Michelle Says:
Yes, Donna, I saw your name there, too! How cool is that??
Jan–thanks so much!

Two of my favorite books were Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost, A Lick of Frost by Laurell K. Hamilton, and BloodFever by Karen Marie Moning.

Michelle, congrats to you too. And I hadn’t heard that Jan Kenny was on the list! Good for her!!

I loved Water for Elephants and Time Traveler’s Wife. Both were top picks for me for 2007. As for Romance category - too many to list!
Congrats, Michelle on making the list under best medieval!
Leanne Says:
Congrats on the nomination Michelle!!!!
You know I have to list Her Warrior King as one of my top favs of this year. I also have to mention Christine Warren’s Other books, and Christine Feehan’s Drake sister books, and Alyssa Day’s Atlantis books. Gosh, I don’t know where to stop do I. Sorry, I just love to read. Can’t you tell. lol. Too many books for me to list on here. Maybe I’ll list a more complete list on my blog if I get the time. Hope you and the baby are doing great.
