Since it’s the month of love and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought I’d share the 8 romance novels I’d want with me on a desert island. These are in no particular order. Also, I thought it’d be fun to share the 8 movies I’d like, providing this desert island had a television!
And, because I missed last month’s contest, I’m going to have my first contest of the year right now! Share your top 8 novels AND/OR 8 movies, and I’ll enter you to win. On Wednesday, February 7, I’ll post the winner, so that I can get your prize to you hopefully in time for Valentine’s Day! What is it? Ooh-la-la, I’m not saying, but it’s LOVEly and borders around the LOVE theme.
8 ROMANCE NOVELS I’D WANT WITH MY ON A DESERT ISLAND:
1. Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
2. A Rose In Winter by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
3. Fat Tuesday, by Sandra Brown
4. The Villa, by Nora Roberts
5. One Wrong Move, by ME! (how could I go to a desert island without my babies?)
6. Holding Fast, by ME!
7. Come Love a Stranger, by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
8. The Bible (yes, it’s romance!)
8 MOVIES I’D WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN:
1. Top Gun
2. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
4. Spiderman
5. Batman Begins
6. Ten Things I Hate About You
7. Shrek 2
8. Cars
Wow, that was hard, because I realized there are a lot of movies I enjoy and could watch a million times. I'm excited about the new Rambo movie, because I love the old Rambo films (but I haven't seen it yet). If the old Superman films from Christopher Reeves came on, you could bet I'd watch it (turns out one of them was on last night). And it was hard to leave Bridget Jone's Diary out of my list. :((
So there you have it...let me hear yours. Choose novels, movies, or post both! The winner will be chosen on Wednesday!

Top 8 Romance Novels I'd Take
1-3 = The Midnight Series by Lisa Marie Rice
4. Dangerous Lover - Lisa Marie Rice
5. All the Queens Men - Linda Howard
6. Cover of Night - Linda Howard
7. Cry No More - Linda Howard
8. I don't know if this counts as a romance but I think it is so Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden b/c it's a different kind of love story.
Can you tell I'm slightly obsessed w/ certain authors, lol :)
I just had to come back on an tell you that this is the hard question. After I posted my 8 faves I wanted to change them. There are so many good book and movies out there it is really too hard to pick just 8. This is a great mind bending question and cool contest.
Rebekah, I agree. I had a hard time just picking 8. These are all great lists, though!
Oh man, I don't know! Tough deal.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers (definitely a love story)
Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell
Dances In Air by Nora Roberts
Paul's Dream by Rowan McBride
Go Between by Dayna Hart
Natural Law by Joey W. Hill
Death In A White Tie by Ngaio Marsh (definitely a love story)
Movies are tougher.
Practical Magic
Return of the King
The Matrix--Revolutions
Persuasion (with Amanda Root)
You've Got Mail
The Mummy Returns
So Proudly We Hail
The Big Sleep
Oh, I was just going to comment on your list, Emma, but it seems everyone played by the rules. So let me see if I can...
Romance Books
1. The Thornbirds
2-5. Nora Roberts witch series. (3 sisters on an island... awesome)
6. Any Sandra Brown novel (I've read so many I couldn't think of just one)
7. the Horsemaster's Daughter by Susan Wiggs (but again, I'd take just about any of her books!)
8. "The Healer's Garden" by me! Because I just love that book!
Movies:
1. Thirteen Going on Thirty
2. IRobot
3. Wild Hogs
4. "Bourne" series (hey, a couple other people picked a series)
5. A Knight's Tale
6. 50 First Dates
7. Wedding Planner
8. Maid in Manhatten
Oh, that was hard. Great post Emma!
My favorite books would be
Gone With The Wind
Colt's Choice-Patrice Michelle
All Jacked Up-Penny McCall
Twice Loved-LaVeryl Spencer
Shanna-Kathleen Woodiwiss
Mirror Image-Sandra Brown
the latest Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum novel
Magnificient Obsession-Lloyd C Douglas
and instead of movies I would take 2 extra books-Red Sky at Morning-Richard Bradford and Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. I would be satisified with these until I was rescued. Wouldn't hurt if Sawyer from LOST was with me and I could read to him
