5 stars-- Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family #1) by Shannon Stacey #PickOfTheLitter

So a (long) spell back I won a copy of Exclusively Yours from a giveaway Jaci Burton was holding and ohmygod I absolutely loved it! Seriously LOVED it! Exclusively Yours was like slipping into my favorite pair of pjs--cozy and comforting. I easily fell into Stacey's writing and enjoyed every second of watching Keri and Joe get to know each other while surrounded by his wacky crazy family--who managed to be endearing as hell and seriously loved to give each other grief over pretty much everything.

Must Reads (or rather Eats!)-- The Tasty Delights NOT to be missed!

A bit back I was asked about doing some favorites lists.

Books or authors I think should be on everyone's tbr pile.

And so... Herding Cats & Burning Soup Must Reads!

This month though...I'm going Must Eats!

I do a lot of cooking here and over the past 3 years some have definitely made my favorites list.

So here's the cooking posts I think everyone should check out AND make!

Have you had a favorite Tasty Delight post? You can find them all HERE!

Must Reads! Historical Romance

A bit back I was asked about doing some favorites lists.

Books or authors I think should be on everyone's tbr pile.

And so... Herding Cats & Burning Soup Must Reads!

For today...Historical Romances. ❤

Oh my word. I have a lot. I'm a total historical romance junkie.

And dang a LOT of them turned out to be Pick of the Litter reads--aka 5 stars

I really don't give these out often but looking at this list you'd never know! lol

These are in no particular order. Just the one Blogger decided to put the name images in.

Must Reads! Urban Fantasy

A bit back I was asked about doing some favorites lists.

Books or authors I think should be on everyone's tbr pile.

And so... Herding Cats & Burning Soup Must Reads!

(figured that was more, erm, appropriate? than my first go of...You need to read these fucking books!)

Must Reads! Paranromal Romance (A to Z)

A bit back I was asked about doing some "favorites" lists.

Books or authors I think should be on everyone's tbr pile.

So... Herding Cats & Burning Soup Must Reads!

Some are single books. Some entire series.

The lists are fluid. I'll update and change them as I read new books.

So check back now and again.

(Lists will be docked in the drop down menu right up....there ^ )

Today's List...Paranormals.

(a lot of these were ones I read pre-herding cats so there aren't links to reviews for most)
And some landed heavier on the UF side of things than the romance side so will be in that list instead of this one (ie--Laurell K Hamilton, Rachel Caine, Keri Arthur)

Herding Cats & Burning Soup Must Reads! Contemporary

Aaaaaand kicking it off...my favorite contemporary romances I think everyone should know!

There are two types of "Must Reads" on herding cats. 1) Our Pick of the Litter reads which are 5 star books and 2) our recommendations for each genre. These are all books and authors I find very special and think anyone should snap up and read.

These are 5 star reads. I don't have them often. A couple a year. They've all made the list for different reasons but are here because they simply left me wowed. Stunned. Changed. Were books that no matter what would stick with me for years to come.

Every once in a while I do a "Must Reads" list where I pick a genre and tell you all about the authors that really rock it and that you simply must read! These are all about 3 years out of date so they aren't my full lists currently but they're a damn good starting place! Read on!
