Gigi, I started re-reading
last night. Of course, I have the cover where the horse is 'photobombing' - as Sans calls it - but that is okay, LOL! It still is such a good book.

My absolute favorite Linda Howard book, and the one I read most often, is
.But Duncan's Bride and Sarah's Child come in a very close second and third!

Megan, I haven't read that one yet. I'll have to check that one out. I really enjoyed Sarah's child as well- such a sweet love story.

Holy Toledo, you-know-who! *Gigi fans herself*

FYI,
comes up again in December and
comes up again in February.
LOL!!! Can I repeat the same books? LOL
No! LOL! You can do a re-read of a book you've read, but not a re-read of a book you've read for this challenge. Nice try. ☺

LOL you're making me want to read faster, even though I think I know who it is I haven't "met" him yet
Lisa Kay wrote: "FYI,

Oh, I hope you like them, Elishia! I also hope you like "you-know-who". **tee hee**
Elishia, I am a HUGE "You-know-who" fan LOL I read
not too long ago and liked it. I may try
for another month

I just thought I'd give you ladies a little something extra for the holiday week-end. ☺
Oh, do you have a long weekend now in the U.S. Lisa Kay?
Yes, CaroB, it's Memorial Day weekend.
He (the reader in post #76) looks like he is in camouflage uniform. Or didn't you ladies notice that? **hee hee**
ha ha nope I stopped before the camouflage :-) the only thing I noticed was that was Jensen Ackles and even that took a few looks.
O.M.G! You are right, Elishia. It is him. Oh, dear. I guess I wasn't looking too closely at his face.
Um.....can I start in June as well?? LOL*embarrassed because her name is on the challenge* LOL
