Welcome to day two of our “Five Fall Favorites” party! Grab a blanket, get all cozy, as we discuss romance and historical reads. Don’t forget — I like to hear which books are your favorites in these genres too, so be sure to comment!
5 Favorite Romance Books
This one is probably the hardest genre for me, as I am not exactly sure what classifies as “romance.” If you’ve followed my review for any length of time, you probably noticed that I usually say something like, “It was great, but the romance…” 😉 So, I suppose I’m going to choose five books that I liked that have romance in them. They may or may not be classified as “romance” though.
1) Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer
2) A Dream Not Imagined by Shantelle Mary Hannu
3) The Lost Heiress by Roseanna White
4) The Sound of Diamonds by Rachelle Rea Cobb
5) Playing the Part by Jen Turano
5 Historical Fiction
Historical fiction is by far my favorite genre to read (and, actually, most of the books that I read…). So here goes! (I’m limited to only five…)
2) Beyond the Silence by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse
3) Seasons of the Heart (series) by Janette Oke
4) Where Can I Flee? by A.M. Heath
5) Lily of the Valley by Faith Blum

Thanks for the offer of a blanket. I'll take one and curl up with a stack of books. Can I borrow your Top 5 for Historical Fiction to look through? :)Great post, Amanda! I already listed my favorites, so I won't do it again.

I love historical fiction! One series I really enjoyed that mixed historical fiction with romance really well was the Edge of Freedom series by Elizabeth Ludwig.

Of this list, I believe I've only read \”A Dream Not Imagined\”, which was super sweet. :)I am picky about my romance reading too…I tend to like romance books, but only a select few. ^.^
