Re: To Ruin The Duke
A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. I cried at the end.

A book you know you can re-read over and over again without it losing anything - maybe instead opening your eyes a little more each time you read it.

Some books are keepers because of me identifying with the characters, but some are because of subject matter and because they are so darned well written! My first romance "keeper"... Pirate's Wild Paradise by Kate Douglas. Wow that seems like many shelves ago....
(Shelly Tavenner 12:29pm June 9, 2009)
Sarah's Child - Linda Howard, Three Wishes - Barbara Delinsky and all of the Robyn Carr Virgin River books and Susan Mallery's series books are always keepers. The First 2 I mentioned were gut-wrenching.

Sarah's Child. That one was a heartbreaker...
(Debra Mullins 2:00pm June 9, 2009)
I agree with Sarah - she said it much better than I could. A book may be interesting, but I don't keep it unless it has something to keep me coming back. Sometimes it is just that it is written about a place that I enjoyed visiting - Tony Hillerman and the 4 corners area. Sometimes it is the characters - Harry Potter. And sometimes it is the action - Davinci Code.

Any book where an alpha male and an alpha female are thrown in together - they snipe at each other until they can't stand to be away from the other!

A keeper, to me, is a book that speaks to my heart be it a character, a place, or the storyline. And, it is one that I want to keep and share and read over and over again. Elizabeth Lowell's "The Keys to Daniel's House"; as above "Sarah's Child". Those early romances by these particular Silhouette authors were outstanding -- and mostly keepers!

Books that I love to read over and over:
Anything by LaVyrle Spencer. Personal favorites are "The Gamble" - a historical, and "Small Town Girl" a contemporary.
Judith McNaught's "Every Breath You Take"
Susan Elizabeth Phillips, "Ain't She Sweet"
(Deb Boone 5:17pm June 9, 2009)
I never get tired of Jule Garwood's THE BRIDE either
(Debra Mullins 7:29pm June 9, 2009)
I can't part with my books by Frances Parkinson Keyes. I also kept 'The Windflower' by Laura London (Sharon & Tom Curtis).
(Rosemary Krejsa 8:17pm June 9, 2009)
Hi Debra!! So thrilled to read your post here! One of my favorite keepers, hard naming one! is SILENT MELODY by Mary Balogh. (Also ANNIE'S SONG by Catherine Anderson. Awesome reads.
(Cathie Morton 11:02pm June 9, 2009)
I love books by Judith McNaught. He books WHITNEY, MY LOVE was great.
(Robin McKay 10:28am June 10, 2009)
A book is a keeper if I have to stay up late all night to finish it!
