( CNN ) -- Less than a week after releasing its 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime , Amazon is out with a new list : 150 Love Stories for Every Romantic Mood , just in time for Valentine 's Day . Books that made the cut include Margaret Mitchell 's `` Gone with the Wind , '' Elizabeth Gilbert 's `` Eat , Pray , Love '' and E.L. James ' `` Fifty Shades '' trilogy . The list spans 12 categories -- Dangerous Love , Dystopian Love , First Love , Historical Romance , Love Overseas , Love on the Big Screen , Modern Love , Paranormal Love , Sizzling Series , Star-Crossed Love , True Love and Unlikely Love -- with entries sprinkled among the adult and young adult genres . While many categories are filled with fictional romances , the True Love set features memoirs and autobiographies , including `` Just Kids '' by Patti Smith , `` Love & War '' by James Carville and Mary Matalin , and `` The Pioneer Woman '' by Ree Drummond ( known for her Food Network show of the same name ) . The CNN Living team noted that several modern classics we love were omitted from the Amazon list , including `` Love in the Time of Cholera '' by Gabriel GarcÃ­a MÃ¡rquez , `` Love Is a Mix Tape '' by Rob Sheffield , `` All the Living '' by C.E . Morgan and `` How Stella Got Her Groove Back '' by Terry McMillan . Team Living collected our 40 favorite titles from the Amazon list in the gallery above . Take a look and see if you agree with our top picks . Sara Nelson , editorial director of print and Kindle books at Amazon.com , said her team wanted to capture the essence of the Valentine 's Day season in a bigger way this year by expanding last year 's 50 Great American Love Stories , which highlighted love stories set in each U.S. state . `` We sat in front of the computer and the shelves of books in Seattle , and we took out everything we thought would count as a love story , '' Nelson said . `` I think the big surprise , though , is how many kinds of love there are . When we came up with the categories , it was n't hard to fill them . '' Though some were surprised that Shakespeare did n't make the 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime list , `` Romeo and Juliet '' made the cut this time in the Star-Crossed Lovers category . Other well-known picks were `` The Perks of Being a Wallflower '' by Stephen Chbosky and `` The Time Traveler 's Wife '' by Audrey Niffenegger . The set also includes compilations of letters between former President and first lady John and Abigail Adams and between Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz . `` There 's always a little bit of serendipity in these things , because you could do this list with 300 books , 500 books , '' Nelson said . `` We have a list , we refine it , we add , then we refine . What you come up with in the end is a mish-mash , but I think that 's what 's interesting . '' All the books on the list can be viewed at Amazon.com , and CNN Living 's top 40 favorites are included in the gallery above .
