My Characters from Creatus, the Midnight Sons, and The Southern Collection Have Gone on Strike!
Dear Friends,I woke up this morning to an astonishing revelation that left me baffled, intrigued, and, I must admit, a little amused. It appears the characters from the Creatus series, The Southern Collection, and the Midnight Sons have chosen today, of all days, to go on strike. Yes, you read that right! My beloved characters have decided they deserve a day off until I give them what they want Read more of this blog post »

| Although this was my first exposure to King's writing (I watched the movie version of "The Shining" years ago, along with many other of King's adaptations) I'd never read one of his books. I have a VERY active imagination, so I was terrified that his ...more | |

It took me forever to finish this book. In fact, I read two other books in the interim. Odd, since I actually saw the movie years ago, which usually makes for an easy read. It was well written, of course--it is Grisham after all. But...it was so slow ...more |

Without a doubt, this is my favorite Grisham book. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I won't get into any of the details. I'll just reiterate that it's great. If you like legal thrillers and/or Grisham, don't miss this one. ...more |

I read this years ago, even before watching the movie. Sad but interesting case. In fact, it's VERY relevant even today. I really hate to think that this is how insurance companies work, but based on my own experiences, I don't doubt it one bit. If you ...more |

Buggy wrote: "Hi Carmen, thanks for the friendvite :) Yeah I really enjoyed Safe Haven, in fact one of the reasons I like Nicholas Sparks so much is because of the tragedy that usually ensues. Not sure what that..."I think it means you're a realist! Most of by books usually start with a tragedy, and though I usually have some form a tragedy in the end, I will always leave you with something to smile about. I books that make me happy and sad, because it's real. Mix that with a little make believe, and I'm all in. So you're not alone, my friend. And that is why Sparks sells so many books, but I'm doing my darndest to catch up to him. Wish me luck! :)
Hi Carmen, thanks for the friendvite :) Yeah I really enjoyed Safe Haven, in fact one of the reasons I like Nicholas Sparks so much is because of the tragedy that usually ensues. Not sure what that says about me?
Hi Carmen, thanks for being a friend. I’m looking forward to getting to know you. I want you to know that if you ever have any questions about the books on my shelves or about eHarlequin.com, I would be delighted to answer them. Also, I list as much eHarlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.Happy reading,
