It's a very memorable story. <br /><br />You must have a busy library that there's 38 holds for a book that hasn't even come out yet!!! <br /><br /><b>Mary ... </b><br />That's great that you pushed yourself out of your no-first person POV zone to read LK's contemps! I'm glad you liked them so much!<br /><br />We should read <i>Dreaming of You</i> at the same time so we can discuss it. Especially since it's pretty apparent that we might be the last ones left on the planet to read it! LOL! <br /><br />OUCH! About the price of <i>Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor</i>!! It's not a very long book, either, so you may want to hold out for the mass market or borrow from the library. Or a friend... <br /><br /><br /><b>orannia...</b><br />Well, I'm glad to have informed you of this LK pending release, then! ; ) <br /><br />Ahh, the first mention of <i>Mine Till Midnight</i> as a favorite. I think at the time I went to LK's signing in 2007, she was just working on that book and people were asking her about it, very excited about that main character getting a book.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-67995139106951469882010-10-08T00:40:59.542-04:002010-10-08T00:40:59.542-04:00I am pissed tho that the new one is a hardcover &a...I am pissed tho that the new one is a hardcover & is $19.50 at Chapters, $14.08 if you buy on-line.

Thankfully they were all in print because I devoured them back to back. They were incredible. So many little wisdoms that I wish I'd marked with sticky notes. Can't pick a fave though.<br />Kristie J did say to read Dreaming Of You first so I'm going to listen to her LOL.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-33158262438520290772010-10-07T23:55:36.823-04:002010-10-07T23:55:36.823-04:00Yes, Dreaming of You for historical.

I try to do that too... but usually fail. LOL! <br /><br />Tracy is guilty as charged! <br /><br />Lori... <br />I was beside myself when that pic when up on her site. It was very exciting. It still is! :D <br /><br />I think 1st person POV is tough for a lot of readers. <br /><br />Leslie...<br />Would you believe <i>Sugar Daddy</i> was my first LK novel? And I only bought and read it because LK was coming to my local B&N that year!!! Crazy, huh?<br /><br />And another vote for <i>Worth Any Price</i>! <br /><br />Phyl...<br /><i>She made me FEEL what it might be like to live in a Texas trailer park.</i> <br />YES! Liberty's life felt so very real to me in this book, too. Very gripping. <br /><br />Derek Craven is from <i>Devil In Winter</i>? You'll have to forgive me. I've only read ONE LK historical so far... but I have the Wallflower books and a few of the Hathaway's, I think. <br /><br />Rowena...<br />Taking note of your favorites... Okay, so you like them all!!! LOL! <br /><br />I think we can all agree that Jack was very smooth in <i>Smooth Talking Stranger</i>, yes? <br /><br />I love having my photo with Lisa Kleypas on her website. My heart will break when she takes it down. LOL! <br /><br />Maija... <br />Another vote for <i>Dreaming of You</i>!

My favorite historical is either Dreaming of You or Suddenly You although I do have a love for Where Dreams Begin, also Simon Hunt's book and Matthew Swift's book.

When I finally broke down and read Sugar Daddy I was hooked. She made me FEEL what it might be like to live in a Texas trailer park. I love that book. I wasn't so fond of the Hathaway series--they were good, but not great. When it comes to a favorite historical, I'm with Kristie J. all the way--nobody but Derek Craven.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-72159977234790602462010-10-07T12:33:18.382-04:002010-10-07T12:33:18.382-04:00Love Lisa Kleypas.
