They has a great catalog and website where I can put books on hold and pick them up at my local library. And most importantly, they buy lots and lots of romance. <BR/><BR/>Sandie: Yes! Thanks, very good to hear. I never pay attention to the amazon reviews. In this case I figure all the Austen 'purists' are bent out of shape.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150304752546124132006-06-14T10:05:00.000-07:002006-06-14T10:05:00.000-07:00Hey!I too reviewed Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife(http://s...Hey!<BR/>I too reviewed Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife<BR/>(http://sandiesreads.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_sandiesreads_archive.html) <BR/>Scroll down, 3rd from the top.<BR/><BR/>I agree..hot hot. I enjoyed it, sometimes it was a bit off putting and hard to follow some of the characters but I liked it...no matter what folks wrote about it on the Amazon.com site.<BR/><BR/>I am gonna add Music of the Night to my TBR.<BR/>Thanks Renee!!<BR/>SandieNoneyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330741410432019651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150264785443476152006-06-13T22:59:00.000-07:002006-06-13T22:59:00.000-07:00Kristie: I agree, it just didn't feel right.

They are on your wish list and hope you still don't have them. I'll post over on the swap group.<BR/><BR/>Tara: Oh, you're the one who didn't like Tiger Eye. You posted about that "cod-piece full of love" quote from the book, right? Hehehe very funny. I'll see if I can find some juicy purple prose in ST. :)<BR/><BR/>Dancechica: I have heard good and bad about AHLNO but it sounded intriguing to me. I highly recommend Tiger Eye and ATOC. Liu is fabulous.<BR/><BR/>CindyS: I try to let my TBR just 'be' but it's not working. I need to 'channel' your attitude. :) Bookshelves would be nice for me too but I doubt I'll ever get any. ATOC was very good and worth digging out of your boxes.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150260130265716382006-06-13T21:42:00.000-07:002006-06-13T21:42:00.000-07:00Yep, like with AHLNO - I think it was Tara Marie w...Yep, like with AHLNO - I think it was Tara Marie who said that while reading AHLNO she kept thinking that she shouldn't be enjoying it but she did. Having someone put that out there prepared me for the Alpha hero but I do like 'em snappish ;) Hope you like it!<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, never read P&P but I'm going over zeeks to read the review - might be just the thing.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've decided that my TBR pile just IS. It's there and it ain't ever leaving so get used to it ;) I'd go bonkers without one.<BR/><BR/>Damn, I can't believe I'm still talking but I haven't read Liu - I knew TE wouldn't be for me but I have ATOC around *sob*. I need bookcases!!<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150257283904327302006-06-13T20:54:00.000-07:002006-06-13T20:54:00.000-07:00I didn’t like A Hunger Like No Other but I seem to...I didn’t like A Hunger Like No Other but I seem to be in the minority with this as I find that a lot other people do. <BR/><BR/>I haven’t tried Marjorie M. Liu but I’ve heard a lot of good about her books. I’ve got Tiger Eye on my list over at Amazon.<BR/><BR/>And it is a bit nerve wracking when people read stuff based on your recommendation! I totally agree. lol. It's because people are so different that you know never what will tweak one person's interests.dancechicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890938063309059435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150248515766501332006-06-13T18:28:00.000-07:002006-06-13T18:28:00.000-07:00I hit the UBS today and only picked up one book, a...I hit the UBS today and only picked up one book, actually 2 one was a Thomas the Tank Engine book.<BR/><BR/>I popped over to Zeek's blog and Mr. Darcy... sounds wonderful. It's going on my "want" list.<BR/><BR/>Loved the Cole, and loved A Taste of Crimson, I think I'm the only reader in romanceland that disliked Tiger Eye and Shadow Touch.Tara Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963704767440694312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1150241798877542422006-06-13T16:36:00.000-07:002006-06-13T16:36:00.000-07:00Isn't that just the pits when you can't find anyth...Isn't that just the pits when you can't find anything at a bookstore when you want to??
