*Update:
Apparently I have shy bloggers…that’s ok! I guess I’ll just have to read some more Jane! 
I have told my husband that if I die before he does, I want to be buried in the cheapest coffin there is wearing a t-shirt with one of my life’s mottos: “Life’s too short for cheap chocolate and bad books!”
I think Jane Austen says it well in a quote from Pride & Prejudice, “There is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!” (Surprisingly, it was said by Miss Caroline Bingley. It may be the only sensible thing she ever said!)
I started reading a book yesterday, but it has turned out to be a bad one, and now I am looking for a new book to read. So, it’s your turn. Please comment back and tell me your favorite books and why you like them so much…perhaps they’ll become one of mine!
Here are a few of mine:
Olivia and Jai and Shalimar by Rebecca Ryman…set in colonial India during the British Raj….beautiful descriptions of the settings, interesting historical contexts, and well-developed, interesting characters…a nice mix of plot and wonderful romance.
A Touch of Betrayal, Sunrise Song, A Kiss of Adventure, and A Whisper of Danger by Catherine Palmer…contemporary action adventure and romance. Fun reads!
Many other Catherine Palmer books, particularly her regency fiction…good historical details and interesting characters.
The Rogue’s Redemption by Ruth Axtell Morren…regency Christian fiction well done. I couldn’t put it down!
Many of Georgette Heyer’s regency fiction books…some are good, others are bad…just a couple I liked, Sprig Muslin and Venetia.
I know you are lurking! (I see daily stats!) So please comment back…I get bored talking to my self!

I would love to be able to give you the title of some fascinating book that I have been reading lately, but sadly I’m not reading much these days that does not rhyme or have pictures throughout. I saved your blog to my favorites list so I’ll remember to check it on a more regular basis. Love it!

Hi Jamie,
Have you ever tried JRR. Tolkien? Please do and tell me what you think.
