Can I be honest? It’s always a little stunning to me when authors and publishers ask me to consider endorsing a book. Two of the above books I was asked to do that. Yep. I’m even on the back cover of Lynette Eason’s Life Flight. Say what?!?! @Cara_Putman is sharing reviews of @lynetteeason @tonieshilohwrite @reginajennings with #giveaway Click To Tweet …
The Debutante’s Code: A wonderful read
It’s been a while since I’ve gushed about a book I read. The Debutante’s Code is a perfect time to gush! Thanks to Julie Klassen, Sarah Ladd, and others, I’ve grown to love the Regency time period in books. I enjoyed Erica’s first series, but there’s something about this one that knocks it up a level. First, there’s a heroine …

The topic: TEETH. Really? Of all words he could choose? Teeth? So he has a really loose tooth. That probably led to …
Fiction Friday: Indentured Earl by Erica Vetsch
There’s something about a book that will pull me back in time that I’ve loved more than ever this last year. As a reader, I tend to split my time between historicals and suspense (I know! Quite a blend, but there you have it.) The Indebted Earl was an enjoyable Regency with a wonderful heroine and interesting hero. Captain Charles …
Bingeing all the Books!
Last week, Indiana got enough snow that Purdue closed for a day. That may not seem significant, but I’ve lived near Purdue for twenty years, and this is only the third day that I remember the campus being closed. Needless to say, I was grateful to not do a snow dance to campus in my car, and it allowed me …

Do you finish every book?
Usually, when I start a book I finish it. If I don’t, it’s because it gets buried in a corner. @cara_Putman asks: Do you finish every book? Why? Or why not? Join the conversation. Click To Tweet In the last week there were two books I was listening to that I had to stop and return to the library. One, …
