Which is funny, because I mix them up all the time and haven't read either of their books. I do have Kristan (and Shalvis') on my tbr, but due to my eclectic choices in reading, my tbr is vast. I will definitely make a point of getting to hers soon. Thanks for the recommendation. Also, if you ever do an author event in the PNW, I want to know. I live in Washington and I'm going to my first one in April - The Emerald City Author Event in Seattle. One of my favorite rom-com author's will be there - Penny Reid.

I'm so glad you're enjoying romantic comedy (and my books in particular). Are you a Kristan Higgins fan? She's another favorite of mine :)<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-35391370775342083802016-02-16T19:22:57.183-08:002016-02-16T19:22:57.183-08:00Nearly two years ago, I sent my kids back to publi...Nearly two years ago, I sent my kids back to public school after homeschooling them for a few years. I then tossed (in a corner) all of their history, language arts, and science books and set out to read for enjoyment again. I felt like I hadn't done that since before college. Granted, I did convince myself that I "LOVED" reading my kids' picture books over. And over. And over (all within one bedtime period.) Actually, I do have an appreciation for illustrated books, but even Pride and Prejudice would make my eyes roll and words slur after the 10th reading in 2 days. With P&P being one of my all time favorite books (because I'm really refined and all that,) it prompted my penchant for romantic comedy. That's what I tell myself, since I nearly forgot it in all my years of being educated by Dr. Seuss. So I happened upon Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie (that's how long I've been out of the loop,) loved it, and then devoured the rest of her books. I then set out to find the next big thing! That led me to you and a few others that I had yet to discover. Since then, I have been methodically checking off every book in your back list. If you've hung in there and are still reading my ramblings, let me say that when I saw Let It Breathe on pre-order, my belly did flip-flops. It doesn't even do that for my husband anymore! I loved hearing about its journey to publishing and can't wait to finally read it myself. Congrats! (Please do not judge my homeschooling attempts and/or my children's lack of language arts skills by the abhorrent grammar of this comment) :)Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.com
