I can totally see "Raining Robots" as an animated movie or, even better, a series. So imaginative! And to think that Jordan Hines came up with this idea on his own, and his grandmother, Jerri Hines, whose books I love, helped him piece it together. Th ...more |

I just know that whenever I read a book by Jackie Weger, I'm going to laugh out loud, learn something, and swoon a bit! Her characters are so real, so lifelike, you'd swear they must be based on someone she knows. Don't miss her bio at the end. WOW! M ...more |

Definitely had its sweet romantic moments... If you want an easy read, not a lot of suspense, and a lot of family dynamics, "On a Night Like This" will make you happy. Well written, of course. Barbara Freethy writes sweet with a little spice, but the s ...more |

"Secrets: A Thrilling Novel of Suspense..." An intriguing title that, sadly, did not live up to its promise. Let's start with the good. I finished it! I abandon many books, but I truly wanted to find out what the "secret" was, so there's that. Unfortu ...more |

Not sure what that..."I think it means you're a realist! Most of by books usually start with a tragedy, and though I usually have some form a tragedy in the end, I will always leave you with something to smile about. I books that make me happy and sad, because it's real. Mix that with a little make believe, and I'm all in. So you're not alone, my friend. And that is why Sparks sells so many books, but I'm doing my darndest to catch up to him. Wish me luck! :)
Hi Carmen, thanks for the friendvite :) Yeah I really enjoyed Safe Haven, in fact one of the reasons I like Nicholas Sparks so much is because of the tragedy that usually ensues. Not sure what that says about me?
Hi Carmen, thanks for being a friend. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.

Also, I list as much eHarlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.Happy reading,
