  31. Well this just cracks me up. I responded to people from my dashboard, thinking it would be immediately after the comment I was responding to, but I guess not! 🙂 I should have just put my responses all in one comment! LOL.

  51. I enjoyed Ruby Among Us. Then, I enjoyed Rose House even better. Wish I had been there to paint the roses. What is your new novel going to be? Thanks for the chance to enter the contest.

  57. Forgot to mention that I had your new book “Rose House” and “Ruby Among Us” listed on my New blog post. Along with that listing I linked back to my review of it from last year I believe it was. Sorry if this sounds confusing. I’m listing this entry as the one with “mentioning the books in my NEW post”. Not sure if you wanted a new one only for those or if they could be included in the post about the giveaway. I’m also going to post about this over on my Shelfari page and on FB. 🙂 Not that I want any more competition. heh heh heh

  92. I just finished Susan Meissner’s “The Shape of Mercy”. What an amazing book. I don’t think I’ve ever read any books dealing with the Salem witch trials. Right now I’m reading “Maggie Rose” by Sharlen Maclaren.

  112. I entered the Waterbrook Multnomah Summer Reading Sweepstakes. The most recent book I read was An Echo in the Darkness by Francine Rivers. I had never heard of this series until one of my high school students told me I had to read them! They are wonderful (for anyone out here who hasn’t read them). I’m reading the 3rd one now. It’s “The Mark of the Lion” series.

    I want to enter my name in the wonderful contest! The last book that I finished was by Dean Koontz, called “Relentless”. A very odd book, but a good ending. Thanks and God Bless! :o)
