Thanks for sharing your list with us! You are a prolific reader! I guess you would have to be to be a book blogger. A quick question: Have you read the Vampire Diary Series? What are your thoughts?
Why yes I have read the Vampire Diaries series! I read them over and over again while I was in High School because I wanted so desperately to be Elena, who by the way, is supposed to be a blond! As always, the books are better and more magical than the shows. But maybe I’m biased because L.J. Smith’s vampire world takes me back to the good old days. I heard a rumor that the Secret Circle, another series by L.J. Smith that dates back to the early 90s, is going to be the next big WB hit series.
A WAR OF HER OWN was recently named 1st place by Press Women of Texas, and 2nd place at the national level–National Federation of Press Women, Inc.
Hooray!
That’s awesome, Sylvia!!! I’m so glad A War of Her Own is getting the recognition it deserves!
Hi, I am reading a trilogy by Linda Francis Lee. You might have read them, they were written early 2000. They are titled:
1. Suddenly Sexy
2. Sinfully Sexy
3. Simply Sexy
Not only are they really good romantic reads, the covers of each book when put next to eachother are a puzzle forming a woman. I really was impressed by this concept and don’t know of it being done before. As you and others like the cover art of books, I too like it and many times it is what grabs my attention to pick up the book and decide to read it! If by chance you haven’t read these books, I thought I would pass this info along. Would like to hear your take of my post. Thanks, Maria.
