Song Stuck on the Brain: Just Like Jesse James by Cher
Just for fun, a few quizzes I took to kill time. :)
I found this one interesting, it says I'm well adjusted and normal. With all my wacky dreams, I would never have guessed.
I found this one interesting, since Mint Chip is my favorite and has been since I was a little kid. Pretty accurate too!
"Full of romance, humor, rivalry, and betrayal, A Passion Most Pure will captivate readers from the first page." --Historical Novels Review "Superb! Incredible!
"I loved Julie Lessman's A Passion Most Pure from the second I picked it up until the very last moment I stopped reading." --Armchair Interviews
"I devoured this book and loved every single page. . . . This is a thick, juicy read, and one I would pick up again in a heartbeat." --christianreviewofbooks.com
MY TAKE:
I have been anxiously awaiting this book from the get go. After Illuminated, I knew that I'd found a new favorite author. Matt has an amazing style - quick paced and spellbinding. House of Wolves was all that I hoped for. In fact, I think it might even be more nail biting than the first. I'm not sure what his secret is, but his ability to blend little known historical facts with danger, intrigue and humor is phenomenal. (Yes, I did say humor, because August has a great sense of humor. ) I would tell you more, but honestly, why ruin the surprise? Just take my word for it. If you enjoyed The DaVinci Code or National Treasure, you'll definitely love Matt's work.

A full-time author, Lawana Blackwell's books include her beloved Gresham Chronicles and Tales of London series."I had told myself long ago that three books in a series are enough for my attention span, and so after The Dowry of Miss Lydia Clark, I devoted myself to the trio of books in the Tales of London series, then wrote A Table By the Window, my contemporary novel. All along, I received letters from readers asking me to continue the Gresham series. Many, many wrote that the dairying village of Gresham and its people sent them back to a more peaceful time in the midst of their busy days."Prayerfully, I decided to return to Gresham, setting the story fifteen years after Julia Hollis and her children first left London for abandoned coaching inn which became Larkspur Inn. I believe readers would like to see how the children—Philip, Aleda and Grace, Elizabeth and Laurel—turn out as adults. But I like to inject fresh faces into every book, hence Jewel Libby and her daughter Becky find Gresham a haven from a bad man. Writing the book was like coming home, visiting old friends."Blackwell lives in Louisiana with her husband, Buddy, a supervisor at an oil refinery. They are empty nesters who love to visit their three grown sons, Joseph, Matthew, and Andrew, and three lovely daughters-in-law, Kristine, Penny and Heather, granddaughter Madelyn, and grandson Chandler.Her other interests include visiting her parents and siblings in Mississippi, vegetarian cooking, and naturally, reading.
