I have spent this week rereading my Kathleen Eagle collection.
Tonight Reason To Believe was a breathtaking journey of betrayal and redemption. It is based on The Memorial Ride to Wounded Knee. Amazing dedication by the riders and their supporters. Her insight is such a precious gift.

Last night was Fire And Rain….absolutely brilliant. Unforgettable describes so much of her work.

Tomorrow I will read You Never Can Tell. I guarantee Kole will make you drool. Ha

I thank Beverly Jenkins for writing books that teach me about a part of history that knew nothing about, along with great romance stories.

I too, have re-listened to Jayne Anne Krentz on CD, her Eclipse Bay series makes me appreciate how a good writer can describe simple everyday things and make you feel like you are there with the character.

JoAnn, it is wonderful finding a new author.

LinnieGayl, every couple of years I do a re-read of Jayne Ann Krentz’s books.
JFTEE-Auburn while I haven’t done much re-reading lately, it is always comforting picking up a book you know you love.

Laura Vivanco, I hope Rose sees your post. Even if she is not dealing with a big mess, it always nice to know that people love your books.

Wenmc & lisaione – I enjoy taking breaks from romance books and reading mysteries too.

Pamela – I have the Rose Garden by Kearsley in my TBR stack

Lori – it is always great when you have one good book after another.

Farmwifetwo & bungcoincidence a concidence that you both almost have the same list.

Maryann I am glad that you like Penny Vincenzi. I signed up to review More Than You Know. After looking at the page count, I wondered if I was crazy for reviewing a new to me author on a 600 page book.

Karenmc – sounds like you have had a great reading week.

Ash, I completely agree about letting authors know when they get it right. Kathryn, how great that you sent the e-mail and it gave both authors that needed encouragement.

I haven’t read Pat Conroy in years, but I’m currently reading Beach Music. I’d forgotten how beautiful and poetic his prose is. A turn of a phrase can bring tears to my eyes and make my heart skip a beat. He’s a stunning writer and this is a wonderful book. Thanks, Pat!

Willaful, I am so sorry for your lost. I just experienced it also in December and it does make it difficult to concentrate. My thoughts are with you.

Kathy W, I definitely will be reading SEP’s new release. Although to be honest I enjoy her quirky heroines better than her straitlaced ones.

Janet W – you are always so sweet. I haven’t read Fifty Shades yet. Too behind in my reading.

Gale, I enjoyed Bujold’s Sharing Knife series too.

Anne W – Just now finished Trouble Me by Laura Moore. Thank you for the complement.

Mark, I have read your re-reads but nothing else. Heyer is one author that I can always enjoy.

Barb, I have credit at Audible so I will check out No. 1 Detective Agency. Thanks.

Mary C, I have looked at the Hannah book.

Kathy, it takes me a while to try out new historical authors but Sherry Thomas is on my list.

Leslie, thanks for the other recommendations. I will definitely check them out.

I too am listening to Lost and Found – it was on the shelf in the library – and is a re-listen for me. Thank you to Jayne Ann Krentz for a fun listen.

I am re-reading Nonnie St.George’s Courting Trouble – one of my favorites. I wish she wrote more…

I am looking forward to SEP’s next release in July too…

Leigh, what a WONDERFUL opportunity! Thank you so much. You know me, I’m always swimming in books, old, new and in-between but a big Loved It to the new Miranda Neville … Confessions from an Arranged Marriage. The latest Stephanie Laurens was fun and reliable, as always and I’m sorry to kick the already battered can, but I loved the Fifty Shades trilogy and it’s a joy to see so many new folks every day get interested in a very unusual story.

I forgot to list Bear Meets Girl by Shelly Laurenston earlier. I just read it last night & hadn’t logged it yet. This another of her violently hilarious shifter stories.
