I like her MacGregors too.

Now I am sticking to contemporary..but well.. my reading tastes keep changing with the season!Ju Dimellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898589783338403889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-54917844555419058262011-09-13T23:02:56.375+10:002011-09-13T23:02:56.375+10:00Oh wow, Anna! Takes me back!
WARRIOR'S WOMAN...Oh wow, Anna! Takes me back!<br /><br />WARRIOR'S WOMAN was actually the first romance I can remember reading (I'm sure there were others I've forgotten!), and it was the book that inspired me to write romance. I love it. I'm sure Ms Lindsey's authorly talent might have something to do with it, but it's pretty hard to go past the totally rockin' cover. I wish I had her hair (and her man, just quietly). I bought a copy on a library old-book-sale table just a few years ago. That was a great day! <br /><br />I think I got some old Roberts' on my shelf, too. The MacGregors. Not too far different to the McKades. :)<br /><br />Ooh, and Stephanie Laurens' Bar Cynster series was another early one I adored. <br /><br />I downloaded HEARTS AFLAME, and you've reminded me to go read it! Thank you. :)<br /><br />E xEmmeline Lockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398543962808655906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-1854522445212524102011-09-13T22:35:25.786+10:002011-09-13T22:35:25.786+10:00Hi Mel --

A fabulous present! One's a Roman romance set during the year of the 4 emperors, one's a sci fi, and one's a fantasy. I can't wait to read them and revisit my teenage years!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-81805673716817730252011-09-12T19:59:36.074+10:002011-09-12T19:59:36.074+10:00Hi Robyn --

But then I moved onto other kinds of romances (and other kinds of books), but in the last year or so I have rediscovered my love of the Sexy M&B Romance. Have been having a lot of fun with them too. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-52215317085421316622011-09-12T10:52:10.685+10:002011-09-12T10:52:10.685+10:00Hi Zana --

Mostly I end up engrossed in the story and not even thinking of analysing!

Even to an instant moment and you can remember what you were wearing, hearing and smelling at the time. <br /><br />Right now I'm listening to Elmo songs (-: Hubby and I were driving yesterday and listening to (and singing) Elmo songs -- when we got where we were going, I realized bub had been asleep in his carseat the entire time!!Anna Hacketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448179667690075629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-8719114536722658332011-09-12T10:15:07.695+10:002011-09-12T10:15:07.695+10:00Hey Anna, I love re-visiting books.

I think you read them with new eyes if there are years in between.<br /><br />Recently, I read Anne of Green Gables again and loved it as much as when I was a kid. However, this time I was also very aware as a writer of how deft LM Montgomery was in protraying PE Island and the community. I still yearn to visit there, she painted it all so vividly.Zana Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452523395857120532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-54894031276913981442011-09-12T09:30:39.314+10:002011-09-12T09:30:39.314+10:00Anna, I haven't recently read any books from m...Anna, I haven't recently read any books from my teenage years, but I did buy a song on iTunes a couple of days ago that I was obsessed with as a teen: Is It A Dream by The Damned. I had one of their albums, Phantasmagoria, and played it over and over and over when I was 14 / 15. <br /><br />On a whim, I had a look on iTunes, bought that song (and will probably go back for the rest of the album) then went searching on the net. Seems they're still together and performing in Europe.<br /><br />Twas a lovely wander back to my teens. Though now I might need to go and buy the JL books and relive your teen years too! :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.com
