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…
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?
Welcome to the results of the 2018 AAR Top 100 Romances Poll. This is a reader generated poll we do every five years or so. This year, we had over 5000 votes and so many marvelous books nominated. We’ve decided not to rank these books, but rather just put them in alphabetical order. We did…
We had well over 3,000 votes in the first two rounds of this poll – wow! We knew you all were passionate about romance, but wow! We’ve now taken the top 150 books from both rounds and presented them here.
Hundreds of you have voted and we are slowly sorting through thousands of write-ins. (Big thanks to our staff!) Round One will close on Sunday at midnight EST. If you’ve not yet voted, please do. Remember to do the whole poll including the write-in section. Here again are the rules: Round 1: Select as many…
It’s clear to us we don’t have the manpower to do our usual reader’s pick the Best of Poll for 2016. We’re bummed about that but it is what it is. (Clichéd but true.) We plan to get a jump on it this fall and it will return for 2017. We are also hoping to,…
