I have been going over the data from all of AAR’s Top 100 Romance polls. My goal is to get a sense of what romances readers have most loved overy the years. Here is some initial data (I hope I’ve counted right–it’s a lot of books!) All About Romance did eight polls over an almost thirty year…
The votes are in and the romance novels AAR readers have chosen as the Top 100 Romances are set. This is a reader generated list. The list is in alphabetical order. If we reviewed the book–and we reviewed almost all–the book is linked to the review. If you wish to see the Top Ten Romances…
Thank you to all who voted in the AAR Top 100 Romances poll. This is a reader determined poll and we are thrilled so many participated. Later this week, we will be releasing the Top 100 Romances list which will NOT be ranked. Today, we share the Top Ten Romances which are ranked. The list is a love letter…
Since 1998, AAR has done seven Top 100 Romances polls. (You can see the first six here and the last one, done in 2018, here.) It is, we would be the first to acknowledge, an impossible task. Over the years, the methodology has changed but, every time, the final list is decided by readers, not…

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…
