As we prepare for our 2026 AAR Top 100 Romances poll, I’ve been trying to narrow down the books that will be in the final poll–it’s just too overwhelming (and bad polling policy) to give people a list of hundreds of books to choose from. We’ve narrowed down readers’ picks with this poll. (Last chance–it…
Here are the books, published in the last ten years or so, AAR readers have suggested we consider for our upcoming Top 100 Romance Novels of all time list. I’ve created a survey so we can begin to narrow down this list. Ultimately, the final poll choices will include ones from this list, all the…
Here are the top books you picked to be included in our poll that are not in the current AAR Top 100. We had about 650 books nominated. All of these entries had three or more votes. Since we didn’t come up with a clean list of 50, we will next vote on this list…
YOU MUST ADD YOUR CHOICES TO THE SURVEY. WE WILL NOT BE ADDING THEM FROM THE COMMENTS. We are slowly creating a list of books that will be on the final AAR Top 100 poll. The 2024 will be made up from four sources. We will take the top 50 from the results from our…
For the past two weeks, we’ve been asking you for your choices for the top romances from the last AAR Top 100 Romances poll we ran in 2018. We plan to add your top 50 picks into our upcoming poll. Here are the ones that have made the cut! And don’t worry–if your favorites didn’t…
I’ve been thinking, with some reluctance, given the challenges we faced in doing our last AAR Top 100 poll, about how we might do a new one. I’ve thought about starting with the last poll and then adding in all the books from our Best of lists since 2018. I’ve thought about letting readers make…
Later this year, AAR will ask readers to choose their 100 Top Romances as we’ve done many times over the decades. What does that mean? Are these the best romances ever written? Readers’ personal favorites? A representation of all the genre has to offer? Romances everyone should read? A series of comments by Jenna got…
We’ve done the AAR Top 100 poll regularly since 1998. The last one we did, in 2018, garnered so much fury that I swore we were done. And yet… I’m not sure. What do you think?
It’s been almost two years since we published our last Top 100 Romances list. This list, which AAR has done every five years or so, is a reader generated list–the last list was picked by readers who cast over 5000 votes. We left the Top 100 list unranked although we did rank the top ten….
Romantic Intentions Quarterly, a new e-zine about romance, interviewed our Publisher, Dabney Grinnan, for their second issue. With their permission, we are sharing the interview. RIQ: All About Romance is one of the most respected romance-related websites in the world. Can you tell us how it came to be?
