| I have to read Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls for my teen girls' book club this week. Gorgeous writing so far. Just finished Barbara Metzger's The Bargain Bride, which was wonderful and worthy. Dedicated to the late Edith Layton and refs to her throughout. Sweet. To follow it, I'm reading Edith Layton's last book, To Love a Wicked Lord. |

| Ran out yesterday and purchased Kate Moore's To Tempt a Saint, praying for a decent read after a lot of so-so reads lately. My prayers were answered! I can't put it down.

| Connie Mason's Highland Warrior. I've liked her other books, so I am hoping this one is just as good.

I am re-starting Meredith Duran´s Bound by Your Touch. I began it a couple of months ago, but somehow lost my interest after three chapters. Now I am hooked!

Hurrah! I'm so glad you like it, Irish. I'm on a one-woman crusade to get this book read.
I'm on deadline this week, so I won't be reading anything--or posting here much either. I'm going to be writing like mad to get these articles in by Friday. When I finish, I'm going to reward myself by reading The Goddess of Fried Okra (an ARC) by the marvelous Jean Brashear._________________ Let me walk through the fields of paper

| I'll be reading Song of the Road by Dorothy Garlock. I think it might be part of a series, so hopefully I'll love it, and I'll have a new series to enjoy.

I started Sarah Mayberry's She's Got it Bad last night. It's an interesting reversal of the Bad Boy/Good Girl trope, with them starting out in the traditional BB/GG roles their teens, but then reversing into Bad Girl/Good Boy when they meet again in adulthood. And, as always, it's a rich, sexy read._________________ "I'm a man," he said..."I can do one or the other. Lovemaking or thinking. But not both at the same time." Mr. Impossible

Behind Closed Doors: At Home in Georgian England by Amanda Vickery.
She's also the author of The Gentleman's Daughter: Women's Lives in Georgian England.
It is totally beyond fabulous. I was just reading of one poor guy in Beverley, Yorkshire, who was rich and well-born enough, but he had to propose to EIGHT different women before he was finally accepted. Apparently, he wasn't quite hero material.
