message 57: by D.G. (last edited Oct 24, 2010 05:12PM) (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments I added a clarification to the Romance category.'Serial Romance' does NOT mean romance that is part of a series but Category Romance, those relatively short romances (around 200 pgs.) published under one line like Harlequin, Blaze, Desire, etc.

So for instance these would be a category romance:
The Italian Millionaire's Virgin Wife (Italian Husbands) (Harlequin Presents #2558) by Diana Hamilton The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh

The Guardians by Mandy M. Roth


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments November Monthly:
1/10 done.

1. November: Read a book which title starts with “N”.

2. So the name on the list says 'Pamelaflame' but the name once I click on it says 'AvidReader:)'. Did you change your name all at once or was there an intermediate step. Maybe PamelaReader or AvidFlame were stepping stones to a new identity. In any event, Ms. FlameReader has a birthday on the 9th of this month. And on her shelf I found Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts (11/2)

3. Geography: Read a book whose author, setting or character is from Nevada.

4. Thanksgiving Day: Read a book about family, God, immigrants, harvest/agriculture or set during that time of the year.

5. Guy Fawkes Night: Read a hot/steamy book, a book with fire on the cover, or a book where one of the major characters is a firefighter, a conspirator or a rebel.

6. World Television Day: Read a book where one of the major characters is an actor, producer, makeup artist, news editor or works in the Television industry.

7. Get ‘Er Done: Read a book you've been meaning to get to, i.e. a book that has been on your TBR for a long time, a series catch-up, a book you need to return to the library or friend, etc.

8. Romance Genre: Read a Serial Romance a.k.a. Category Romance (ex. Harlequin, Silhouette, etc).

9. Of Lists and Shelves: Read a book from the first 11 pages of the Book Club shelf.

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 1103 comments Darn it. I read Flashback by Jill Shalvis 1 day too early. It could have counted for the Guy Faukes one or the Serial Romance one.

The 1st 11 pages one is going to be a toughy for me. I've already read the ones I had any real interest in reading adn I don't own any of the others.

Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts

Review:
4 stars - This book is classic Nora. Beautifully rounding off the Bride Quartet she once again shows how some times you don't need big confrontations, murders or vampires to make a novel / series work.

At the heart of this series is the friendship between the four women and how having that circle expand with the addition of men into their lives doesn't disrupt the friendship, if anything it enhances it. A lovely tale for when you want to be reminded that sometimes things just work out.
