It's about mute witch, 1698, blah blah..<br /><br />I look at her name tag and I'm like OMG - I've been talking about my lame ass mute witch book with JB who is now like a major name in historical romance.<br /><br />She was gracious, humble and absolutely showed me how much I'm lacking in my level of research just by asking me questions about what I did and what she does.<br /><br />I've since stepped up my game.Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-90023770636405292432010-06-25T16:01:21.770-04:002010-06-25T16:01:21.770-04:00Nothing wrong with you, Sinead.

I guess that it was trying so hard to be like Love Actually, but mostly sucked.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-64102611434148728562010-06-25T15:54:19.431-04:002010-06-25T15:54:19.431-04:00Stephanie, I really hope you love the book as well...Stephanie, I really hope you love the book as well. It deserves to be loved. Even the language she uses is inventive, and her setting seems so true, and this book is so beautifully crafted. <br /><br />It's not the book, it's me. Maybe I've been reading too much YA..<br /><br />I was on a plane, and sad to say, I even put it aside to, God help me, watch that crap Valentines day movie... <br /><br />There is something seriously wrong with me....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-25487706267722935592010-06-25T14:10:57.384-04:002010-06-25T14:10:57.384-04:00Love True Blood this season as well... uh helloooo...Love True Blood this season as well... uh hellooooo Eric got naked in the first show.

She had me at that scene on the merry-go-round at the beginning and it never let up.<br />Although there was one thing that sort of bothered me and I think affected my overall enjoyment, because I kept thinking about it too much... Can't wait to discuss.

It's just impossible with teenaged boys in the house.<br /><br />I love the reading orgy, too. Isn't it great when you find a bunch of books in a row that you can disappear into?Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-54902569767025068222010-06-25T12:16:36.349-04:002010-06-25T12:16:36.349-04:00I am LOVING true blood this season.
