Ah, love!

Even if you’re single this holiday, I'm pleased to announce that romance is alive and well in books, which leads us to this month's poll:



Did I miss the most romantic? Feel free to add them in the comment section.

    Thanks,Deborah, I was hoping someone would get that.

    Nichole, huh, I'll have to check that book out.

    Noel, I can't believe that thus far Bennett and Darcy are beating out Jane and Rochester . . . it's wrong!! So, I say if you can't decide, at least vote for a Bronte!!!!!

    I (obviously) voted for the Jane and Rochester too. For the last 15 years Jane Eyre has remained undefeated as my favorite novel.

    I think second I'd have voted for Rhett and Scarlet, though they are as messed up as Catherine and Heathcliff.

    Noel, tis true about there not being too many young people about . . . or perhaps we're not giving them enough credit. They might have voted Bronte or Austen. We can always hope. . .
