| Good history up to a point, but terribly "dated" and racist, so be prepared. We were in the area a while back and I was curious about the big bare spot at the bottom of Texas. The book has been re-released since it was first published, but it still n ...more | |

Thanks for your Goodreads friendship, Lisa!Blessings, Sally
Hi, thanks for the invite, Lisa! I look forward to seeing what you're reading.
Hi, I'm very happy to meet you and look forward to discussing books with you. If you ever have any questions about any of the titles on my shelves, please ask away. I'll be happy to answer them. I’ll also share news when I can for example; did you know that in March Silhouette Desires will be putting out their 2000th book? The authors are celebrating with a special blog on eHarlequin.com .btw, I grew up reading the Pern books. I absolutely love Anne's world.
