message 54: by Michael (new)

Michael (knowledgelost) This is true, I do try to get you to expand your horizons, but you seem to stick to romance novels


message 55: by Jessy (new)

Jessy (snuggleglooms) | 381 comments The thing for me with your books I get worried their above my head it took me ages to read The Shadow of the wind book you got me to read and I did enjoy it maybe you could set me something that isn't so full on like a beginners novel to noire if there is such a thing??


message 56: by Michael (new)

Michael (knowledgelost) I can recommend books that I enjoy that maybe close to a romance genre and work from there :)

Jessy (snuggleglooms) | 381 comments Alright Yoda bring forth the expansion of my horizens! What books did you have in mind?

Jessy (snuggleglooms) | 381 comments Because you weren't sold on the Sci Fi of Shadow Game that I gave you too read. But I think I got my wires crossed I think its because its Paranormal that you didn't like.
