What a lovely blog – and with so many books I can’t believe I haven’t read any of these. I like your ‘giveaway’ enticement – do publishers send you these or do you give away the arc?

Luv Your Website! So many books I was thinking about reading! Now I am going to! Have you read The Shack? I am in the middle of it. It actually has taken me a long time to read because I read a chapter put it down and process it. Then pick it up and read the next chapter. I have managed to highlight half the book. Whould luv to know if you read it and what your thoughts are on it. Roseanne
Thanks Roseanne! I haven’t read The Shack (there are so many mixed reviews of the book that I’m not sure that I would like it. Maybe I should give it a try…
I have a book you might like to read. It is called “Say Goodbye.” I think that it might be right up your alley. Let me know and I will drop it off! Roseanne
You should see my TBR pile – it is HUGE!! I’m afraid that if you drop off the book you’ll never see it again!
