I've got to try her. I have a couple of her books, that were recommendations. I just have to dig them out.
I haven't read any book by her yet !
My favorites are To Love a Thief and What I Did For a Duke but I didn't like The Perils of Pleasure. A good advice is that you can read her Pennyroyal Green series as standalone novels. I've read three and I can't tell how they are related. I think Like No Other Lover (which I read) is good before I Kissed an Earl (which I haven't read). Otherwise they seem very loosely related and I haven't met the same characters in either of the three I've read (1, 2 and 5).
I haven't read any of her books yet either. I have several of them though.
Oh...sounds good, Susanne!

Let's buddy read the december one then :)

Yay I'm in! How the Marquess Was Won is on the Gigi December list so we'll read that one. I accidentally bought it to my kindle but I've been saving it for December. Lisa Kay, do you want to join us? Maybe we all can read it for our December pick xD
Hmmmm... maybe. I notice I have a big commitment in another group for a huge book. Ugh. I don't know if I bit off more than I can chew there.Do you want me to set up the "buddy read" for How the Marquess Was Won? If so, what start date?
GR is so buggy right now! Why didn't I get this notification? The Name of the Wind? I'll also be doing that xD I hope we can manage our bites for December. But here it's dark, snowy and blistering cold - perfect weather for reading xD
Let's hold off the start date a little, maybe around Dec 13. Karen, what do you think?
Yes,
is the one. I hope it isn't depressing. I'm doing
and it is too sad and depressing for me right now.If it is okay with Karen, I set it for the 13th. Let me know.
I have high hopes for The Name of the Wind but for me it's more that I have to take this chance. I bought it in 2007 and still haven't read it so it's now or never xDI don't think I will ever read The Casual Vacancy, I've heard nothing but bad things about it. Too bad! The Harry Potter series is such a hit.
The 13th is perfect (I've checked with Karen). And a sweet JAL romance might be just what we need after The Name of the Wind. It'd be great if you set it up and I can try to "be in charge of the BR" (whatever that means). And you can join if you have the time *wink wink* Yay!
Hey where are you reading the name of the wind? Sounds really interesting and will be a change ! I may join in if I get time.

I will not read The casual vacancy either , I bought it , but I'm scared to read it , somehow I feel it will spoil my childhood wonderful memories of harry potter .

I think I have this figured out...I'm getting caught up with Aug/Sept/Oct and once I get caught up I "think" (watch out, I'm thinking and there might be an explosion...you know how it is when things get old and don't get used often) I will be ok for the upcoming months because I own some of those books ☺ I had a feeling when I started this challenge that these last 3 months would cause me problems *sighs* So if you can please bear with me getting caught up and back on track I will hang in here with you all!!! Thanks LK ☺
