This is my second post about my recent foray into collecting historical romance books. The first was about me buying a mystery box of historical romance books off ebay! I completely blame the romance readers I follow on booktube and bookstagram. The books are just so pretty and ridiculous that I have to collect them all (like Pokemon!) So here is the story of how I bought a Johanna Lindsey Lot off Ebay!
Now you may ask who is my favorite historical romance author and what ones are my favorite…Well the answer to that is I have only read one. I know, I know I am the absolute worst, but I am a book obsessed, book collector and have to own them all and eventually get around to reading them! I’m planning on doing some sort of readathon or something this winter with historical romances, because I feel like that is a good time of year for them!
I’ve never read a Johanna Lindsey, but since the insurgence of historical romances in the past year, I have been lusting over these covers. There is just something about the style and fonts that I am so drawn to and knew I had to find them. But as with many books there are cover changes and the new ones are boring. So I have watched ebay, stalked my local used book store and other online used book sites.
It was one night while I was on instagram, clicking through stories and someone (I wish I remember who it was, but have no idea) had posted about a lot of Johanna Lindsey books on ebay. I quickly switched over to ebay and typed Lindsey into the search bar. Of course it was an auction that had 11 minutes left in it. I placed a bid and was immediately outbid. I placed another bid and waited. There was a minute left I was outbid again and I decided I would try one last time. As I watched the time count down, I waited with my finger hovering over the bid button…with 10 seconds left I click bid and I won! Just the thrill of the auction was worth it, but also the fact that I got 10 Johanna Lindsey books for $25 (including shipping)!

Which of the Love Only Once covers do you like the best? I cannot decided which one is my favorite, but feel like I need to own each for my collection! I’m super excited about Hearts Aflame which is a Viking romance! These all look like they will make for a great time! There are so many more of Johanna Lindsey’s books that I want solely based on the covers and a few because of the time in history!
Have you read any of Johanna Lindsey’s books? If so what is your favorite? Do you know of any viking romances because I think I need them in my life!
