Set Me Ablaze by Isabel Sharpe

Up close his muscle-packed T-shirt defined masculinity. But then, he could probably define masculinity in a tutu and pink ballet slippers.

What Your Kids Are Reading Part 4

Last week Part 3 (WYKAR3) was about how a parent can use simple questions about books to give an indication of what is going on in their teenager’s life.

I was never very good at thresholds –being carried over them or otherwise.

 I suppose it follows that if one has never fainted before, one never will. When a lady doesn’t faint, as you clearly haven’t, I recommend a brief rest in her boudoir.

 He tipped his hat and, gentleman that he was, made no comment about her so obviously ogling him from her perch.

What Your Kids Are Reading Part 3

Books In My Mailbox (Nov-4)


This meme is hosted by The Story Siren.

Being a big fan of Jane Austin, be it the books or the movies, when I saw this novel at the library I couldn’t resist picking it up:

definitely not mr darcy by karen doornebos

This novel seems to be the cross between a Jane Austin tale and a reality dating show; eight women are completing to win the proposal of Mr Wrightman, a British Lord, while pretending to live in 1812. Let the hilarity commence…

The Tycoon’s Runaway Bride by Christine Rimmer

She’d simply come out of the dressing room off the church waiting area, lifted her white skirts high and sprinted out the church doors, running as if the devil himself were after her.
