Definitely order the third! I bought mine from the UK and it came in a week.

[Leea]

Yay!!! It makes me want to read them again... Oh the magic of Alexander

[Viola]

Okay, you guys have me convinced! I'm going to order the third one tonight. So, without spoiling anything, you weren't disappointed with book 3 or the ending?

I have a feeling I'll be done with Tatiana and Alexander tomorrow or Wednesday. What will I do until The Summer Garden arrives??? :(

So excited!

[Alycia]

Take a break, reread favorite passages, pick up a light read... :)

[Noreen]

Definately get #3. It is the culmination of their life - how can you resist knowing how it went. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. You will probably want to kill Alexander at one point in the book, and the ending was maybe too rushed, but there are not many books out there like these.

[Alycia]

I so agree

[Viola]

I finished Tatiana and Alexander as well as The Summer Garden. I admit though; I skimmed half of The Summer Garden. I couldn't help it! I'll comment on another thread. Right now, I have mixed feelings about The Summer Garden. Kind of glad I read it. Kind of wished I hadn't.

Well I’m half way through A & T so I placed an order on Amazon UK for The Summer Garden because I’m not a patient person. So that’s what’s next but I wanted to mention a movie trailer I just watched on utube for Spring 1941. So if you’re in need of a little reading break but are on a World War two kick try this out. I thought the trailer looks good and I get the impression that blackmail is involved so that’s promising. Lol

This looks good and I can stream it on Netflix.

[Leea]

Wow that does look good... I'm guessing it's out. I never get to watch any movies :) I'll look for it!

[Viola]

Yes, it has Joseph Fiennes in it, right? He has been my boyfriend FOREVER! :) I have it in my Netflix streaming. May watch that tonight!

[Leea]

I'm reading it's the 3rd in the Fever Series... I'm really enjoying it. What are you reading?

[[deleted user]]

Leea, I read that series twice this year! I'm soooooooooo excited for the last book to come out in a little over two weeks. YAY!

[Alycia]

I'm currently reading two books both are good. and

[Milena]

Just finished

I REALLY want to read this one. My library doesn't have it. I might have to get this one on my husband's iPad.

[Leea]

I loved mistress of Rome!!! So much going on... It was hard to find but my MIL got it for me for Xmas!!

[Mishelle]

Mistress of Rome was definate gooder~ One of my faves for 2010.

[Leea]

it sure was one of mine... i could not put it down and i still want to know more about what happened to them :) I know she has another book coming out... can't wait

[Milena]

I want to read about Vix and Sabina. I think that's what author said in the notes after the book, will be the next story.

[Mishelle]

Its not though~ :(~ The next release is a prequel apparently~ We have to wait on Vix and Sabina.

[Milena]

I know, I realized it after I saw description of Daughters Of Rome on Amazon:(

[Mishelle]

:(~ Big time~ Patience is one of the virtues I lack.

Do you think she will write a book @ them. I could tell from the moment they me that they were meant to be together :)

[Milena]

In my copy of the book in the afternotes this what it says : "Thea and Arius will find their mountain and raise their family in peace, so their story is done. But Sabina has an interesting life ahead of her, and Rome is not done with Vix either". That's why I though there will be a book about them. Hopefuly we don't have to wait to long!!!

[Leea]

can't these authors write any faster :)
Does anyone know if Ms. Simons is working on anything right now? I've only read BH trilogy - none of her other books.

[Mishelle]

I haven't heard great things about her other books, Leea. I think TBH were the best with the biggest fan base.

[Alycia]

I;ve heard similar things Shell. There is a thread here about other Simons books and everyone says she should write more of what she knows.

[Jessica]

Oh I enjoyed her other books! The latest two (a song in the daylight & road to paradise) were quite terrible and I definately don't recommend them, however I enjoyed some of her others. Tully I hated the first time but after reading it a few times I've come to really love it, it's heartbreaking. The Girl in Times Square is great and the most similar of her books to TBH. Red Leaves I also enjoyed after a few reads. Eleven Hours was pretty boring and pointless though. Hopefully that helps - I definately wouldn't rule out all of her books!!

[Alycia]

I have a road to paradise.. i bought it used. Oh well!

[Milena]

The Girl in Times Square was very good. I enjoyed it

[Megan]

To be perfectly honest, after reading some of her other books, I've come to the conclusion that whilst I'm a huge TBH fan, I'm not a fan of Paullina Simons as an author. I'm not a huge fan of contemporary reading, I would LOVE to see her write another historical fiction, as I think she's truly gifted in this genre, but sadly she keeps churning out very similar books...

[Alycia]

I prefer historical fiction as well. I do wish she would write similar books

[Leea]

I have tully but if you don't like it the first time... I think i will skip it. I mean why read bad stuff when there is so much out there that's great!

I'm going to start

[Jessica]

I actually think Tully and April & Oliver are very similar! I just finished April & Oliver, but I prefer Tully.

[Leea]

huh!! Good to know - Thanks Jessica! Do did you like April and Oliver?

[Jessica]

I enjoyed it but found it a little boring and slow, and also didn't really like the ending! That's just my opinion though, I've read some good reviews for it elsewhere.

[Leea]

thank you for your opinion...

[Alycia]

I've heard nothing but good things about April and Oliver

[Leea]

Good i was starting to rethink reading it on my trip - thanks Alycia!

[Alycia]

You're welcome :)

[Milena]

I enjoyed April and Oliver too. The book definitely made you think. The ending was little vague and open to interpretation though.

[Mishelle]

I LOVED April and Oliver~ It was very different from my usual read~ But I really, really liked it. It really hit an emotional chord with me.

I'll have to get to Tully soon.

I always love and hate when the ending is vague. It makes me really think about the book. That is it lingers with me while I think of all the scenarios that could be.

On the other hand sometimes I like things to be spelled out.

But with A&O I know exactly what I want to happen so it did. LOL!

Leea when you are finished let us know what you thought. Have a great trip!

[Silvana~Duchess of Avonlea~]

After downloading a sample of on my Kindle I wanted to recommend a similar series that many of you might enjoy. Great Cover Art!

[Leea]

Well i finished April and Oliver - it was okay! I hated the end it left me yelling "no, that's it... UHH"

So i read and loved it, no real "romance" but it's non stop. I'm almost done with and have the next one waiting on my night stand. I put off reading this series because everyone was so into it... I can see why it's really good - even without "romance ;)"

[Kelly]

The Summer Garden

[Leea]

Ohhhh Kelly Happy Reading!!! Man keep the kleenex close for this one :)
