October's Build Your Own Challenge!

[Desperado]

Lisa, I feel your pain. I was extremely disappointed with NQAH. Didn't care for either. As for PA, yeah it's angsty but I think it worked in that book. The characters were more likeable IMO.

[Lisa Kay]

Thanks, Lethal. I think I may actually have a copy of . I'll have to check.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

The second chance is for the hero's father and mother who are reuniting.

And it's very well done. It's not just a tiny little part of the story.

[Lisa Kay]

Okay, great, b/c my library has that one. We'll see which one of these I go with. Lord knows, I'm always changing my mind, LOL!

I thank both of you for your time!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

No worries, Lisa Kay. Glad to help! I've also read Not Quite a Husband. It's not as light as When Beauty Tamed the Beast, but still a good story.

I love Harry Potter and I think they get better with each book.

[Kesha]

I've watched all of the movies and I love them. I'm hoping I'll love the books as much as the movies

[Lisa Kay]

Now that I receieved an iPod/Touch for my birthday, I was thinking of re-reading (by listening to) the Harry Potter series on audiobooks. I've heard they are very well narrated.
