Romantic Novel of the Year 2009 - Comments

  • Catherine Jones

    I&#39ve read them all - I have to I&#39m chairman of the RNA. But it wasn&#39t a chore, they&#39re all fantastic. I hope the 3 judges love them as much as I did - I think they probably will; what&#39s not to love about these fantastic romatic novels. However, I don&#39t get a vote when it comes to choosing the winner but I&#39ll be happy whichever the judges chose.

  • I&#39ve only read East of the Sun, which I loved, but I must get my hands on the others. Except Cecilia Ahern...not a fan, I&#39m afraid!

  • I&#39ve just finished reading "East of the sun" and I absolutely loved it. Picked it up randomly at a charity shop and couldn&#39t put it down. Recommended.

  • My fingers are crossed for Judith Lennox. A few years ago I wrote to her via her publishers after reading The Shadow Child which was unbelievable. She sent the loveliest email back, guaranteeing a fan for life. I&#39ve subsequently read everything of hers - she&#39s just wonderful
