2021 Still Moments Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards - Nominees


How we choose the nominees and winners… 

Books read and reviewed by Still Moments Magazine, which received a 4, 4.5, or 5 star review, are evaluated from the comments written for each book review. 

The magazine’s publisher then selects the top five reviews for the eleven categories, which is the most difficult task to complete due to so many books being deserving of making the list.

Books may have elements of different romance categories, such as a historical can include paranormal elements, but each book can only be placed in one category, with the exception of Couple, Hero, Heroine, Secondary Character, and Cover.

Once five book nominees are selected for each category, a winner is then chosen.

We want to thank everyone who submitted a book to Still Moments Magazine for review, and while we couldn’t read every book submitted, please know your book remains in our reading queue.

Without further delay, here are the NOMINEES (in alphabetical order by book title) for the 2021 Still Moments Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards!
