This forum has been a touch of normal for me for years.  Even through the rough times, I always kept up with the new releases through the forum, (I have an enormous wish list!) enjoyed the feedback from all!  And loved the "eye" candy! laugh 

I'll do my best, but if you find a book I missed, please don't hesitate to post it!  

Thanks again for your welcome!  

Sandi ;)

I've found a new author...April Holthaus  (at least to me) thanks to another trader..Has anyone else read her books?   It looks like it's been a year or so since a new one has come out, but she's got a couple of series that have gotten really good reviews.   I don't find all of them here on PBS, or even on Amazon, so don't know if they are all available...Let me know what you all think.

In the meantime...I'm tring to keep up with a new books... and getting ready for the new year!  Here's hoping the best for all, and Good reading!

How's winter treating you?  I've only got a few inches of snow, but some of the towns here in Oregon...well Oregon hasn't seen this kind of winter since the early 50's!  

So, my advise, snuggle up with a good book and a hot drink!

A Conspiracy in Belgravia (The Lady Sherlock Series)

This one's a mystery with romantic elements, but I'm sure most of us have read Andrea Penrose's romances under her other names, Cara Elliott and Andrea Pickens(Signet Regencies). 

Murder on Black Swan Lane

I LOVE Grace Burrowes! but Beckman is #4 in a series of books that was released a while ago.  Please continue to follow her as I

appreciate being at the beginning of a Wish List.  Thank you for taking on this chore.  I can't tell you how much we all appreciate your

efforts, Sandi.

I discovered Grace Burrowes a few years ago, and she's right up there with Mary Balogh as far as I'm concerned!  

I often think they don't notify us if it's a reprint just so we'll buy the book again!

I really appreciate your thanks!  We don't appreciate others often enough, I'm very guilty of that myself.  Often times the feeling is there, it's just the words don't come out of our mouth (or our fingers on the keyboard)!  That's one of my New Year's resolutions, to tell others "Thank You" for the help they've given me!  

It's a white world outside, so I'm staying inside dreaming of warmer days!  Enjoy it while we have it, in July we'll be wishing we had some of this white "stuff"!

So, so true Sandi-just have to keep telling myself that "this white stuff" will go away eventually!

 Re:  Grace Burrowes-Beckham is the one who gets "banished" as a boy, right?  If so, that's one of my favorite "Lonely Lords".  

I too love Grace's writing which is why it's a complete mystery to me as to why I had such a hard time getting thru the novella duet "Virture's of Christmas". First was ok, 2nd one-set in Scotland, I really struggled with.  I did like that it concerned lesser "beings"(aka no Duke's Earl's etc) but that was about it.  How did anyone else feel about this one?
