Some of the same art work from Animal Crackers but with bedtime verses. Jane Dyer is a favorite of mine and my 17 mo old grandson. We like to pet the pictures while we read and sometimes we turn from one page to another and laugh. I don't know what we're laughing at but my grandson who finds many things in life laughable knows and I just add my joy to his.

I have just started reading this book but so far the quality of writing is well above average.

Chesney is my favorite Regency Romance authoress and this book is just another reason why. I don't have room to hold onto books anymore but the Cesney series were the last to go.

Joan Smith is one of my top 3 favorite Regency Authors. This like so many of her books is not predictable yet very delightful.

Excellent resource work for Christians - all Christians but I found it most useful for those who are in active ministry. Not necessarily formal ministry but those who are in the front lines of spiritual warfare. Very helpful.

well written but sexier than I like in regencies. Beautiful cover art. Enjoyable

First let me say that most of the heroines in Ms Simpson's books are not your typical regency beauty. They are flawed and I have enjoyed seeing those flawed by society standards triumph in the end. The heroine in this book is no exception. She is vane. On the outside.
This is 5th book in a series Donna Simpson wrote and I've found reading a whole well written series back to back very enjoyable. She now writes under Donna Lea Simpson and is into paranormal things which I don't enjoy, I prefer regencies.
You'll see by my listing that I have most of this series and am listing them now. I will do a 2 for 1 on this series as I am trying to build point on PBS. So choose your one book and then PM me with the name of the other with a 2nd choice. Your first choice will be yours if no one else has automatically taken it first. If somehow that has happened, the automatic will have the book and I'll send you the second book. I will try to contact you first.
My copy of this book has a slightly turned upper edge.
This is a duplication of the info I posted when I posted her 4th book in this series but I know it's helpful when you are trying to get a whole series. Ms. Simpson's character development did improve as the series progresses.
Here are the others in the series that I will be listing.I've seen some of the ones I'm missing here on PBS.
1st Lord St. Claire's Angel
2nd Lady Delafont's Dilemna
3rd Lady May's Folly
4th Miss Truelove Beakens
5th Belle of the Ball Enjoyable humanizing of a vane young woman. Well written.
6th The Rakes Redemption
(7th don't have this but the last time I looked it is available here - A Country Courtship...I've read it and it's good)
8th A Matchmaker's Christmas - in my opinion, one of her best.
There are 4 more which I think belong to this series but I'm not sure so am not listing them here. I'm going to try to get them and if they go with the series will list them later.

Rated 3 1/2 stars on Amazon but I give it 4. I think you have to like regencies a lot to rate them higher and I do like regencies. I'll come back to give a full review, right now I'm up loading covers.

I usually go to the public library website to see if they have a book before I get one here. I did that for this book and I recommend it. If you're an aunt you'll probably see yourself here. The chapters are
A Short History of the Aunt
Mothering Aunts
Heroic Aunts
X Rate Aunts - a chapter I could have done without
Brand Name Aunts
Exotice and Eccenric Aunts
Damned Bad Aunts
Literary Aunts
Fairy-Tale Aunts
Honoroary Aunts
The Good Aunt Guide
Epilogue Aunt Janet
This is light reading and the author is male and has a rather sharp tone at times but the beautiful chapter on his own Aunt in the Epilogue may have been is reason for writing the whole book. I'm a mother Aunt and appreciated this little look into Aunthood.

This book is great. I swapped and mooched a total of 3 because I liked it so much. I am not a cook but I am an aspiring cook and the gorgeous step by step pictures in the Cooking Club of America collection are so helpful and the food is delicious. I believe this is highly rated on Amazon and it deserves it's rating.

As with all Joan Smith books this is funny while still satisfyingly romantic. The young heroine has to be taught how to go on in society in order to attract the love of her life.

This is a true cuisine cookbook. Recipes are a bit more involved that what most of us have time for but they are good and this book is highly rated on Amazon. This is the original 1983 edition.

I just finished reading this novel for the 2nd time in about 3 mo. It entertained me completely. There were problems. She left the development of the relationship between the two major characters in the background leaving enticing clues that something was building and kept forgetting the age of the primary charge. Is she 12 or is she 9. Her behavior looked very much like 9 so I kept that in mind. I highly recommend this author.

Regency Romance
From Back cover During his pain-wracked nightmare days after the Battle of Talavera, Rathbourne's recovery was as much due to the hauntingly serene beauty of a woman who called herself Gina as to her skillful nursing. She had given herself to him, then disappeared. And all his cool intelligence and determination could not discover her whereabouts, nor even her identity - until the morning he walked into Greystone Manor. There he came face to face with the widow of his own cousin, the woman of his dreams, a lady who seemed to choose not to remember their brief, fiery caresses...
I think this is first in a series by the author. I enjoyed it more than once.

The two books by William Clower changed my and my sister's lives. Long before Jules and Julia Clower shared the French love of good food and encouraged enjoying food rather than seeing it as the enemy or a science experiement. I had an email conversation with him years ago and he is an engaging, sincere man who is part of a quiet revolution in the USA back to balance and sensuous enjoyment of our food and more importantly our lives. I have both books and they are keepers.

This book has been pivotal in helping me to enjoy real food in moderation. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight but more, I recommend it to those of us who enjoy good tasting food and are willing to stop eating the chemical snacks and manufactured foods that don't satisfy. I am finding a way to enjoy my life and my food thereby going against the flow of deprivation of pleasure, acceptance of life demeaning rather than life affirming experiences with food, jobs and relationships.
