There are best of lists popping up all over. Best books, best movies, best fashions and more than enough worst lists, but we won’t go there. Rather than name “Best Books,” we’re going with the WW Ladies favorite reads of 2012. Now this doesn’t mean the book had to be published in 2012, it just means it had to be read in 2012. In their emails to me, many lamented the fact that they could pick just one and it was a very difficult decision. Kym absolutely couldn’t make up her mind. Regardless, here’s what I finally got out of them.

I have to agree that’s it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite book I read this year. There were many that I enjoyed, but the two I talked about most to people were The Escape Diaries by Juliet Rosetti , a fun romp with an escaped but not guilty convict and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, a futuristic adventure that I couldn’t put down. Neither were all romance, but did have romantic elements.

Hi Barbara, and hi ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for all of your recommendations! Sheila, I read Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins this year too, and it was fantastic. I would have to give that pick a huge thumbs up.
But darnit. I don’t think I could pick one. Not fair, Barbara. It’s impossible to choose. I will say that I’ve burned through Jill Shalvis’s Lucky Harbor series this year, and my favorite of all was Simply Irresistible Maddie’s story. It’s the first one I read, the first of the three sisters’ stories, and it’s definitely a keeper. I won’t call it the “BEST” because there are so many good ones. It’s just the MOST RECENT BEST. *looks smug at the way she cheated the whole best thing*
My favorite books were actually a series. Cherise Sinclair’s Shadowlands series. It’s a BDSM Erotica series and wow she writes some seriously hot Doms.
One of my fellow Project Linus volunteers recommended Sally Goldenbaum’s “Seaside Knitters” mystery series. I’m really enjoying these cozies although I haven’t caught up with them all yet–more to look forward to in 2013!
Some of these books look very interesting to me. I have too many to pick one, but I did read The Emperor’s Conspiracy by Michelle Diener and loved it. I’m going to try Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins, too. It’s hard for me to resist covers with a dog on it, plus I’ve been hearing her books mentioned a lot lately.
Thanks to Heidi for such kind words about my book, Gnome On The Range! What a treat to be included with such great authors. Happy New Year!
Wow. Great list! And congrats to all the authors.
My favorite of 2012… The Unwanted Wife by Natasha Anders

Fun and unique twist on the arranged marriage angle. It just stuck with me, and it was only $.99 on Kindle!
My dream retirement is to by no means need to deal with the cold of winter or heat of summer. An A-Frame in Vermont in addition to a cottage by the sea near Savannah.
