Round One of the 2018 Top 100 Romances poll is now closed! Thank you to the many many of you who participated! We had nearly 6,500 write-in votes, with 2400 unique books listed, and nearly 900 of those have multiple write-ins. Romancelandia has a lot of unique favorites! As you can imagine, that’s a lot…

We plan to run our poll similarly next year….

AAR was one of the few online sites devoted to romance readers’ views, and one of the only sites to offer reviews written by readers. Facebook was limited, there was no…
The annual AAR Reader Poll is open! We’re pleased to announce, for the 20th year in a row, the AAR Annual Reader Poll is now open! We hope you will help us take a look back to find the best romance books the year 2015 had to offer. The AAR Annual Reader Poll began with…
After a rather unexpected long break for some real life events, I’m ready to start again with our series of posts about the best of romances published to date in each of the AAR Annual Poll categories. Next up, is the Best Romance Short Story or Novella. Voting in this category used to be very…
