Book Sites - Mostly Mystery

moved to "If You Like Janet Evanovich" section

Book Sites - Mostly Romance

Affaire de Coeur Magazine - reviews and articles about reading/writing romance
All About Romance - Twice-monthly newsletter (not releases and reviews, more thoughtful - a recent topic is whether romance themes like the "accidental pregnancy" promote conservative values), reviews database, The "Purple Prose Parody", a message board, list of books in similar themes (i.e., "opposites attract"), history cheat sheets, author interviews, coverage of RWA Conferences back to 1997, author aliases, etc.
Blue Diamond Publications - All about alternate reality romance (time travel, fantasy, futuristic, supernatural); sells used books and publishes anotated bibliography of AR romance

Contemporary Romance Writers - same as the other websites in the family (historical and suspense) - lame author section, nice themes, also has reviews, newsletter
Daydreamers' Companion - page not found 7/5/02
Great Romance Novels.com - nothing particularly compelling - list of male romance writers, links to publishers (pretty comprehensive), links to bestsellers lists, links to author websites, a message board nobody uses, etc.

Missing Authors page
Mrs. Giggle's Book Pages - Very sarcastic rants section, reviews, and her keepers list

Road to Romance - Again, not much to die for here - has forthcoming books alphabetized by author, author interviews, reviews
The Romance Book (UK) - has lists of books by theme, also can buy or trade used books
Romance Database - Really good database which includes short stories (can't see what data is available for a book, that's a premium content, but just having title is helpful), pseudonym list, anthology list (can click on book title and see stories in book); I really like the way this site looks.
Romance and Friends - for readers, has forthcoming by month (a current, past, and next month), author interviews, and book reviews (nothing special). For authors, has writing tips, an extensive set of research links, and publishers' guidlines.
Romance Journal - site is really out of date: has forthcoming releases for January-March 2002 (in July). Report on the "Francis Awards", which appear to be the site's own awards, author interviews, writing advice, fairly active message board, quotes, news, etc.

Romance Reader at Heart - Upcoming historical romance releases by month for a five month span, list of author websites and bulletin boards, author profiles, author interviews, writing links, list of recommended reads, and top books of 2001 (as voted on by readers)
Romance Reader on the Run - mostly romance reviews, with a list of the owner's favorite authors/books, links to author websites and other relevant websites, and her account of the 2000 Romantic Times convention

Romance Web - link to NPOB UBS, lots of other links, lots of resources for writers
