I really hope that it won't win in the romance category. The very thought turns my stomach. |

Nyssa, please delete the links you have for Shards of Honor and use the following link... http://www.baenebooks.com/p-85-cordelias-honor.aspx
It's only $5.00 and is available in ePub & Mobi. It is cheaper then Amazon and B&N. Also, Inkmesh is worthless as its not being kept up-to-date. |

Oh and as for the $5 price from BAEN, it's for a single volume of books 1 & 2 where Amazon and B&N's higher price is for just the first book. |

I'm not sure if WorldCat should be the authoritative resource for this kind of classification or not, but it has the following for Lolita:
I haven't read the book at all (just want to), so I'll probably vote for it anyway and I'll probably hold this classification from WorldCat up as a shield if I have to. But if it doesn't win, I'll be equally happy to discuss it as part of another selection at another time. |

Grand Muckity-Muck, please fix the places to buy Shards of Honor in the 1st post of this thread. I'd like to have just BAEN there are the other places are much more expensive to buy this from.

Not your typical romance....
I'd like to nominate Stardust by Neil Gaiman. It's not a typical romance, but it is on my "to read" list. Here's a description from Goodreads (where it carries quite a good rating as well):
"Hopelessly crossed in love, a boy of half-fairy parentage leaves his mundane Victorian-English village on a quest for a fallen star in the magical realm. The star proves to be an attractive woman with a hot temper, who plunges with our hero into adventures featuring witches, the lion and the unicorn, plotting elf-lords, ships that sail the sky, magical transformations, curses whose effects rebound, binding conditions with hidden loopholes and all the rest." Available as an ebook at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Overdrive. Edit: I'll 3rd Water for Elephants...also on my TBR list. Last edited by Bookatarian; 01-20-2013 at 10:10 PM. |

@John F: I might read the romance selection if it was a simple bodice ripper. |
