First, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend surrounded by those you love! Second, it's still Saturday so we're going to talk books. I don't know about you but I find December the hardest month to find new books to read. So what did I do? Taking a hint from Leslie, I downloaded the book that started me on reading and ultimately writing Romance- LaVyrle Spencer's SEPARATE BEDS. I wondered if it would stand the test of time – and I discovered that though I kept asking myself "what point of view is this?" I DIDN'T CARE. I still fell in love with Clay, I still found myself repeating lines in my head days after I read it, and I still hold it close to my heart. And that feels good. Want to know something else funny? When I was considering my move to Berkley, the senior editor told me she'd worked with LaVyrle Spencer – and I swear that helped sway me!
What oldies are close to your heart? And have you reread them recently? What did you think?
And since I'm on vacation for a bit and as always, looking for books. What are you reading?
