TRRC ROMANCE CLASSICS TOP 20 LIST

During the Summer of 2005, members of The Romance Reader's Connection Yahoo List submitted a list of five books each that they considered to be "Romance Classics". The criteria for the selection was that the book be wonderful enough to grace the reader's book shelf as a "keeper" and that the author be well established in the genre. Each time a book list was submitted and if the books appeared on another member's list, it was counted. The book selected as number "one" appeared on a large number of lists.

To the list members that took the time to submit the names of the books they consider to be "Classics", the staff of TRRC thanks you. To our readers that would like to comment on the list, please feel free to do so by stopping by TRRC@yahoogroups.
