But as the temperature slowly begins to drop and the daylight hours get shorter, there's very little I enjoy more than spending an evening curled up on the couch in comfortable jammies reading an old favorite book.
Though there are tons of new books I want to read--and not enough free time in the day to enjoy them all!--I find it difficult to resist the allure of my own little romance library. These are the careworn books that I return to time after time, the ones that first introduced me to my love of romance novels.
I recently revisited Jude Deveraux's REMEMBRANCE. I was telling my husband last week (who is most adamantly not a reader, let alone a romance reader) about the plot and needless to say he was quite incredulous that anyone would be able to immerse herself in such a crazy premise.
For those who haven't had the immense pleasure, this is a time-travel book about cursed soul mates who, through centuries, are doomed to love each other again and again yet the relationship always ends very badly. The modern-day heroine has to go back in time to figure out how to end the curse and live happily ever after.
So, spurred on by Dear Husband's eye roll, I read REMEMBRANCE for probably the tenth time and, I'm pleased to say, I still find this book to be incredibly sigh-worthy.
What romance books do you read over and over? REMEMBRANCE makes me feel weepy and emotional--what do you look for in a romance novel? What makes something sigh-worthy to you?

I re read Elizabeth Lowells westerns I love those books can't get enough. I tear up at the same places but I still re read them

I reread Diana Gabaldon, especially the Outlander series. She makes the world's so real that I feel that I am there.

Julie Garwood's historicals. I'm so glad she's back to writing them again.

I find myself reading older Krentz or Garwood books for comfort reads, along with a few alltime favorites I read long ago.
