I'm going to start with the Wallflower series since that's what I have already. And <I>Mine Till Midnight</I>, too! <BR/><BR/>LOL In the NW area, I presume? <BR/><BR/>Nadia :: I highly recommend Lisa Kleypas' contemporary romances, even if that's not your preferred genre. I think her historicals are equally well loved by fans.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-67367406667613497432008-10-01T18:39:00.000-04:002008-10-01T18:39:00.000-04:00wow, that is very cool!

Just five more weeks to go! <BR/><BR/>MK :: It looks like we're on the exact same page when it comes to <I>Sugar Daddy</I> and <I>Blue Eyed Devil.</I> Good luck with your event this week! <BR/><BR/>CJ :: I read the first two Twilight books way before all this huge hype that's been going on for this series in the last year. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I started reading it now. I think all the craziness just sort of zaps the freshness out of the series. I could probably think of a good YA novel to dare you with . . . ;)<BR/><BR/>Lori :: LOL I know! I will at least get to the Wallflower series (because I actually own those)... and eventually get to the rest of Lisa's backlist. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the comment on Locks of Love, too. It is a great cause. In 2007, my oldest daughter and I did it together on the same day--both donating 12 inches. It was a great feeling to donate, but even greater to have done it with my daughter. My youngest simply won't part with her locks just yet. Maybe soon... <BR/><BR/>Alys :: You should definitely donate your locks!! You're hair is so beautiful... and really long already. It's an act that helps ease the emotional well being of someone who is suffering the debilitating effects of a serious disease. You'll be happy you did it. <BR/><BR/>KB :: I think you and I were newly made acquaintances at the time of Lisa's signing. Otherwise I would have invited you to meet me there. Sorry. :( <BR/><BR/>Taja :: Thanks! :) <BR/><BR/>VampFanGirl :: I totally get the gravitation to the dark and lustful. It's a mesmerizing pull. If you manage to pull yourself away, though... pick up Sugar Daddy and Blue Eyed Devil. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-39702876083731053032008-09-23T19:57:00.000-04:002008-09-23T19:57:00.000-04:00::::sigh:::: Lisa Kleyplas is amazing.

I actually never read Stephanie Meyer. I guess YA would be a bigger dare for me.

Li...Ah, Christine, I could not agree with you more. Lisa is just so consistently fantastic.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you. Sugar Daddy was my 2007 best book of the year, and Blue Eyed Devil will be my 2008 Book of the year. I've read some other stuff that I loved this year, but nothing I've connected with like BED. I literally sobbed reading that book.<BR/><BR/>I'm SO sorry that I'm going to miss the big Book Smugglers event. I've got my huge event that day. I can hardly wait for Smooth Talking Stranger.<BR/><BR/>I just think Lisa is one of the best voices in romance right now.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178354927628992485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-73576657506486586752008-09-23T09:23:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:23:00.000-04:00He is tied with Meljean's Jake. what.a.hero.*sighs...He is tied with Meljean's Jake. what.a.hero.<BR/><BR/>*sighs*Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051732778079285105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-75968850530174298412008-09-23T09:19:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:19:00.000-04:00Barbara :: I hope you still post a Loving Lisa Kle...Barbara :: I hope you still post a Loving Lisa Kleypas post on your blog, too! I'd love to read your thoughts, I'll gush WITH you about her contemporaries, and I'm sure get INSPIRED to read her historicals based on your thoughts! <BR/><BR/>Ana :: LOL Love letter, eh? That's part of the reason I have such difficulty writing reviews for my A+ books. I'm afraid of sounding like a bumbling gushing fangirl. I can't keep my thoughts coherent and objective. I end up just rambling on and on about how much I lurve it without completing my thoughts on WHY I love it. LOL <BR/><BR/>I almost picked Hardy for my hut. It's just that I love, love, love him for Haven, and can't picture him with me. LOL<BR/><BR/>Who is he tied with? <BR/><BR/>And I have the entire Wallflower series, plus <I>Mine Till Midnight</I> on my TBR shelf.
