ReplyDeleteHey, fellow BAFABer and Front Street Reviewer! I got your contest entry; thanks. I'll check out what fun you've got happening for the week.
ReplyDeleteYou have some good books on this list. Man, to have more time to read...
Great list! I have several of those on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMore books to read!!! SHADOW OF THE WIND is one of my favorite books. And I really loved HISTORY OF LOVE. So many books...so little time!
ReplyDeleteMelody - It is a great list isn't it? There are quite a few new-to-me authors, some I have never heard of before and others I have been wanting to read for quite some time now. :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan - Thank you for stopping by! I know what you mean about wishing you had more time to read. That would be so nice.
Lisa - I can't thank you all enough for the great recommendations. Recommendations from fellow readers like you are the best kind. :-)
Malady - Shadow of the Wind and History of Love are both books I've been wanting to read. I am looking forward to reading them.
I love the picture on this post and the previous one. Where'd you find them?
ReplyDeleteBTW - check my blog - you've been tagged.
Thank you for putting all those books on one list!!! I've copied it, so that I can get myself into all sorts of trouble. :)
ReplyDeleteLynne - Ooo! I feel so honored to be recognized. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteYour idea was a good one, Nancy. I only wish I wasn't too lazy to alphabetize them! The list has actually come in very handy for me too this way.
