So, what got you into reading? What is your one favorite book? I know I have read a lot of your favorites, but what is your #1 all time favorite one?
mertime at q dot com
Ok, first book that got the teenage Lisa to become a book a holic was The Wind Blows Backward...talk about my first tortured hero!!
After college I got back into reading when my mother in law loaned me one of her romances called Not Another New Years by Christy Ridgway, who is amazing by the way! And believe me it was quite embarrassing to know that my MIL had read this romance, let's just say the sex is....WHOA!
All time favorite is a tie between Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins and See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson
Are you tired of me yet? Thanks again for opening my eyes to so many great reads. I have read A LOT of books this year, more than any other, and YOU are a huge part of that...so thank you!
~Jaclyn
hallhome (at) hotmail (dot) com
Well I have read both Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins and See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson thanks to you! And I can see why they would be your favorites for sure! I think its funny that your MIL gave you such a SEXY romance to read! When I think about writing a book I freak out thinking my mom and grandma would read it and how embarrassing would that be to have them read sex scenes!

Happy Bday to you.! This is my bday mo too as well as my sister's and Dad's. Many more.
Here I am again. What authors are autobuys for you. Forgot my email on 1PM post.

So many great books this year. My favorite so far has been Sylvia Day's book "Bared to You" the first of the Crossfire Series. The second book in the series just came out and I can't wait to read it. (Hopefully this weekend).

Happy Blogoversary! This is a fun and different way to party :) I love all sub-genres of romance so I like that you've included a mix.

Laura Griffin (amazing romance suspense)
Shannon Stacy
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Christy Ridgway
Jennifer Echols
Simone Elkeles
Jaye Shields (of course)

And so many more!!
I read mostly digital since I review for NetGalley but some authors send paperbacks and I can devour them too, but for all day reading or all night reading, definitely my Kindle Fire!
And I almost forgot, Christy Reece and Louisa Edwards for my auto buy list!! They are both amazing!
I have a lot of the same auto-buy authoirs as you too! Some of mine include:
Lisa Kleypas, Kristan Higgins, Susan Elizabeth Phillips (always fun), Karen Robards (suspense), Carla Neggers, Brenda Joyce, and Sandra Edward.
I know there are a bunch more. Romance is such a great genre and there are many more new to me authors I want to try! Whew :)
Cambonified(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wow, thats quite the list! Is your hubby a reader as well? How many books have you read this year already?
mertime at q dot com
I wanted to stop by and say Happy Blogoversary! Hope there are many more years to come. Although I prefer paperbacks, I have started to read more books on my e-reader & find it much more comfortable.

P.S. It's 10 PM in Italy, so I'll not be able to comment anymore, but I wish good luck to everyone else.
Happy Blogoversary! I love reading your reviews since I think they're pretty spot on, especially Susan Anderson's latest. Thanks again for being such a wonderful romance reviewer!

And I'm back :)
I'm reading some of the comments here and The Bronze Horseman is one of my favorite books. It's a love story not romance. There are three books in it but the first is my fav. Howver for feel-good, laugh a lot romance, Dream a Little Dream by S.E.P. rocks!
Happy Blogoversary, Lisa. Thanks for the giveaway.

mertime at q dot com
I want to know what new releases you all are looking forward to? Maybe that can be the question for the next hour?

I'm looking forward to Scorched, too. I love all the Tracers books. Also looking forward to Monica McCarty's "The Recruit" and Lisa Marie Rice's "Heart of Danger."
janie1215 AT excite DOT com
Looking forward to Abbi Glines next in her Sea Breeze series later this month. I've read about 130 books, but have a ridiculous number on my TBR, and an awesome friend who sent me a bunch of fantastic YA books that I need to tackle. :)
~Jaclyn
hallhome at hotmail dot com
I have read about 80 books this year. An average paperback takes me a couple days. As for my TBR pile it's big and constantly growing.
Cambonified(at)yahoo(dot)com
Holy hell, I can't believe my name is under Simone Elkeles on your auto-buy list. *the dream come true settles in* So many damn good books on this giveaway list!!!
Depending on how busy I am, I read about 60-90 books a year.
janie1215 AT excite DOT com
I have read 81 books this year towards my goal of 100! Right now I am LOVING Lacey Wolfe books as well as Brenda Minton, Bella Andre and Brenda Novak. Many many favorites but Lacey is top right now!

Happy anniversary! x
What was your first new to you author that you "finally" read from? Mine was Shannon McKenna's Behind Closed Doors. Still trying to find more new authors :)
Cambonified(at)yahoo(dot)com
Hope you had a wonderful wonderful blogiversary today! You are so very worth celebrating. You do a wonderful job reviewing! Thanks GIRL!
mertime at q dot com
Christy Reece...I had NO idea that her books were AMAZING and I actually first read the 7th book in her Last Chance Rescue Series first and then had to make my way back to number one.
Also Candis Terry was actually a "new" to me author recommended by Rachel Gibson and boy am I glad I gave Second Chance at the Sugar Shack a chance...I am now a HUGE FAN!!
I've read over 100 books this year, though I'm not quite sure of the exact number since I went through this reading frenzy at one point where I was reading about two books a day. I just recently got back into reading something other than textbooks and discovered Susan Mallery's Fool's Gold series. I'm really liking the Stryker siblings' arc. I hope you're enjoying your blogiversary!
kliu107 (at) gmail (dot) com
It looks like I'll have to bump up the Rescue series on my TBR list.
I'm heading off for dinner now and then a book. Thank you for a fun and interactive giveaway. Happy reading everyone.
cambonified(at)yahoo(dot)com

Good luck with the next 50 years!Happy Anniverary! Can I win now?
suepete12(at)yahoo(dot)com
Shouldn't a person be excluded once they've won in the same contest - seems a little unfair to everyone else - and if it was me I'd give some of them back for others to have a chance. Just sayin'!
SO SORRY LADIES...BLOAIVERSARY WAS YESTERDAY...WINNERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN!!
As far as the rules went, it was a winner for each hour, so whoever commented in that hour was put into the drawing and random.org chose the person to win.
I use Random.org because it is fair. Sorry for those who didn't get to see this post until today, but I only have so many days until my maternity hiatus to review.
Thanks to all of you who enetered and I will be sure to give the next couple of Giveaways LONGER entering times!!
SCORCHED by Laura Griffin is coming Monday
KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE by Marina Adair is coming on the 12th
SOFTLY AT SUNRISE by Maya Banks is coming sometime next week
