[Brittany]

You know, I think it would be cool to add the Quilts of Love series as an option. There are plenty to choose from and they offer different themes, like mystery and historical, too, right? They're not TOO different from Love Finds You.

Oh! I'm sorry, Lorie! I never did see your post from back in November. Yes, there are currently only six books in the series, but there will be more to come. While they're only a few options for now, I figured there'd be no harm in throwing them in there, seeing as with our current rules - we'd only choose two a year at the very most.

But that's just my thinking. We don't have to add it if you think it'd be a bad idea.
