Welcome to the group Jackie M and Makenzie :)

Jackie - I was always trying to sneak Harlequin and Mills & Boon into my room without anyone knowing - buying them from a second hand store for peanuts... Mum DID NOT approve of romance books!!

...Oh, and I think my husband would love to throw away my ereader as well!


Makenzie - I don't think I've ever had gunmbo... That will have to wait until I get over the States one day :)

The 3 Fyne Witches books are great, I haven't checked out her Children of the Sun books.

If you try gumbo here in the states, make sure you're in South Louisiana...or Mackenzie's father's house. :-)

[Ian]

lol...my dream of driving an American muscle car from West to East (was planning on I40) needs a detour south for some Gumbo. I do like Louisiana Hot Sauce, maybe I should buy a case...somehow it seems more real buying Louisiana Hot Sauce in Louisiana.

Do you think Makenzie's father will welcome my husband and I with open arms for the opportunity to cook his gumbo for us!!? LOL :)

Hey Ian, perhaps we sort out a road trip with a few cars, touring around looking for gumbo?? What a hoot!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Aideen and Jodi :)

LOL Aideen - bodice rippers at the ripe age of 12! Hmmm, strangely I haven't ever read a Victoria Holt...

Jodi - you are in a great profession! Want to read it? Order it! (Perhaps a little simplistic, but you get my drift... :)

That would be fun. Dibs on the Dodge Challenger.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I don't have a clue about cars... (And nor does my husband!) So long as it has air-conditioning and enough room for luggage, I'm good :)

[Ian]

OK...you and your husband can have the 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlas. You should be good for luggage.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - now I'll have to google that!

***edit***

It looks really comfy, but it has to be a serious gas-guzzler, doesn't it...?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

?How about one with some modicum of economy for a road-trip - LOL!

Hahaha. Most definitely! When he makes it, he makes a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge pot...and it's usually just for my mom and dad...and sometimes me (when I'm in town). They freeze 75% of it. I'll let y'all know next time he cooks a gumbo. Which will probably either be Thanksgiving or most definitely Christmas.

But yes, anywhere in SOUTH Louisiana will have good gumbo. If it's a hole in the wall place, it's probably better than the fancy restaurants. :D

Carrie, you should definitely check out the other 6 books! And according to her Facebook page, I believe she's going to start working on another 3. After saying no more, she just couldn't stay away from Columbyana. :)

[Ian]

You can get a diesel version. lol. OK...how about one of these?

Welcome to the group, Jensine! There are some great romance suspense books - so many good ones to pick from, you're spoiled for choice...

LOL - I haven't yet hit memory overload on my eReader, but I tend to remove them once I've read the book. Calibre is great for managing your eLibrary :)

Hi folks. Strider here. Poet , law graduate, ex civil servant. Member of The Poetry Society. My poetry is modern, traditional, mythical, sometimes erotic. I experiment with language and form to convey atmosphere, imagery, rhythm and themes. I see the world as metaphysical, mythical and surreal. My poetry portrays the relationships between people interacting in our natural and industrial landscape, alienated by technology and individual greed. Love, romance, environment, nostalgia, history and politics merge into this reality and fantasy of modern times.

[Kaniac]

Birthday:November 8

Favorite Color: Teal

Favorite Food: Nachos

First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): All I remember was it was a Harlequin. I became completely obsessed with them for years before I realized there were other publishers out there lol

Favorite Romance Genre: It honestly depends on my mood. I will go through genre binges for months at a time. Right now I am in a western/erotic binge

Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I completely lose myself in reading, I literally have to set an alarm to sleep sometimes. I have donated boxes upon boxes of books to my local library because I just ran out of room (except for my collectables lol everyone needs a hobby)to the point I have started buying digital as they are much easier to store. When I am not reading I think about reading. I am slightly obsessed.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Karen and Kaniac!!

I've never had a truffle cake - sounds very interesting. Yum :)

I know what you mean about Harlequin... Took me ages to find some other romance options as well! I tried a couple of other publishers/formats but hated them. This is why GR and groups like this saved me from a life of Sudoku!!

[Sara]

lol we meet again so soon...well- HE breaks down once in a while, which can be frustrating (no relationship is perfect) but he's as good as new with a bit of TLC. I think he does it for attention..lol...thinks I'm just using him for what he can do and not what he is ;)

[Sara]

And thanks for the welcome Jane

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - well phrased Sara :)

I hadn't thought to assign my ereader with a gender, let alone free-thinking thoughts. I wonder what the hell 'he' thinks with some of my book choices. Eeek!
