I might not send them back for YEARS.
Um, I meant copies of a couple books I had written. Which you could totally keep. ::sheepish::
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, in that case, hells yeah! That would be awesome! Thank you.

Kathy, yep, I have read those, and found them fun...which made some of Joy's later works surprisingly...er, awful.
ITA! I really think that the legal conflicts took her writing mojo out of her. Too bad, because those books are great.
For straight historical romance, have you ever read Loretta Chase? She hasn't written too many books, but those she has are really wonderful. I think Lord of Scoundrels is one of the best romances of the past 20 years, and the sequel, The Last Hellion is almost as great.

I know the name, but I haven't read her. I see if she's at the lib.
I like Liu, Kresley Cole, and I laugh but still read Ward.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have every vinyl album the more-or-less original Kingston Trio made, and I played them so often that I think I wore the grooves into my brain. I don't have enough of them in digital form, although I don't really need them, since I'm pretty much a Kingston Trio playback device. When I was a kid, my best friend's father saw them at a club on a business trip and brought back an album. We became obsessed. This is why I missed the British invasion but can give a stirring rendition of "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm."
Has anyone else read The Monsters of Templeton?

"Carrier Pigeon" was my favorite from that album.

Has anyone else read The Monsters of Templeton?
Yes, HATED it.

Oh, Erin (and Kathy! and meara!) I can also rec my friend Gayle Callen's romances. She writes historical for Avon, and they're ... Regency period, I believe.
Has anyone else read The Monsters of Templeton?
No, but I would like to. It's on my list.

Monsters of Templeton actually fills me with rage! I don't understand why it was on some people's best books of 2008 lists. It was a mess! And not a particularly fun one. And certainly not a well-written one.

Uh, maybe it shouldn't be on my list then ...
