10. This is happening. I can’t be stopped. 9. Goodreads has announced their nominees for the best books of 2013. You can vote in the many categories here. The Best Romance category includes Lover at Last by JR Ward and then pretty much every New Adult book you can think of. I’m not against the new adult genre, but come on people. No historical books?

Review: Foreplay by Sophie Jordan
Foreplay by Sophie Jordan (The Ivy Chronicles #1) Released: November 5, 2013 New Adult William Morrow Reviewed by Mandi So confession time: I received this book for review unsolicited in the mail. When I flipped the book over and read the blurb, I wasn’t that excited. The heroine is named Pepper and it’s a new adult. I’m picky about New Adult because in my experience most that I’ve read have annoying heroines, with their immature friends and they make me feel old when I read Continue Reading
