Kelly Watson posted a great column on them a week or so ago, with links to the finalists and winners of the RWA’s “Libraries Love Romance” contest. I know there have been some wonderful individual programs at libraries around the country. It’s aimed at colleagues who want to build a collection, and also at curious readers. But last month a group of librarians published a well-received guide to “core authors” in romance. Eric's at Romancing the Blog today and he's got an idea he'd like to discuss: what if someone, or a group of someones, put together lists of romance novels, grouped by theme or genre or some such way, and wrote up introductory essays and discussion questions for each? It wouldn’t be easy to choose the texts, and Lord knows there would be dust-ups over who’s in, who’s out, and the rest.
