✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.
PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists.

Gorgeous, whimsical & heart wrenching storytelling. One of the few novels tagged with "tragedy" I can stomach and love.
