Hi Bette,thanks for the friend invite and kind message. I'm really looking forward to reading "Spare Change". It receives great reviews here on GR, so must be really really good. Have a fab day/evening!
Thank you for your friend invitation....I actually read Spare Change last year and loved it......I thought it was a great story with wonderful characters.
Thanks for the friend invite! Looking forward to following your reading lists and I'll be looking into some of your books too. :)
Thanks for friending me. It seems we do have very similar tastes in books. Now I'll have to look through your books to see if there is anything I haven't read.

Thanks for stopping by. I think you'll really enjoy The Twelfth Child, I'm awed by all the great Amazon reviews it's been getting. I'll check back to read your review of Crazy in Paradise.
Just wanted to stop by and say Hi and Thank you for your email, it's nice to meet you too.I am currently reading Crazy in Paradise and plan to read The Twelfth Child next.
Hi Bette ! Thank you so much for the friend invite ! I've seen your name and books around Goodreads quite a bit and the synopsis I've been reading sound amazing ! I'm excited to read your books...

Hi, Bette! Thanks for the friend request. I'll be checking out Cupids Christmas from my library sometime soon! And yes, I'll check out your new books. :)Sincerely,

Thank you for the friend invitation. I am enjoying looking through your books and I am finding some that sound very interesting. My hectic schedule right now is cutting into my book time so my To Be Read list is growing. Your books will be at the top of my list!

Hello! Thanks for the friend invite. I downloaded samples of your books to my Kindle. I love what I've read so far. I plan on buying them soon. :)
Thanks for the friend invite! I'm going to check into your books ... Spare Change sounds interesting. I'm always looking for books for "mature" readers.
Thanks for the friend invite! I haven't been spending much time on GR lately - with 5 kids including twin toddlers, my time is getting eaten up more than I'd like. I'll look forward to chatting and interacting though; the Bound Together group is lots of fun, a small group of friends reading. :) See you there!

Thanks Amanda, Spare Change is probably my favorite. I'm working on the sequel right now :)
