They were OK, Dhes - they were all solid 3*, Reese's Bride was a 4*, but I won't be keeping them - I was able to get used copies, so I picked them all up at the same time, or I might not have continued. It just seemed that there should have been more, but I'm not even sure what the more should have been (guess that's why I'm not the author!) Since you already have them, I say go for it - they're quick reads. If the first one doesn't do it for you, pass them on!

Thanks for the info, BJ!

I've got you for 11, Leah. It's hard for me to read with the lines and stuff when I don't have my glasses on, so keep checking your updated stats to make sure I get it right.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Laura, when you say "book club" selection, is that an offline club or something on Goodreads?

[Leah]

I will, Dhes! But you've got the right number, it's 11 so far.

It's an offline club held at a local library. We get together in December to choose our books for the next year and each of the members facilitate the meetings. We started off reading Jane Austen and have progressed to other classics, but other genres sneak every once in awhile, too.
