Favorite Authors
Anything written by Ruby Ferguson but
especially her romance novels (I named one of my dogs after Ruby)and of course
the fabulous Jilly Cooper. More recently, too many authors to list and too many
books still to read!

Sounds like an interesting book. It's now on my TBR list. I'll be checking it out soon.
ReplyDeleteThird date, eh? Now there's a man who knows what he wants.
Good morning everyone - and thank you Carolyn for interviewing me for Celebrating Authors - I'm thrilled and almost choked on my coffee this morning when I saw the headline title of my interview, lol!
ReplyDeleteBut yes, Annelli, my darling husband is certainly a man who knows his own mind! Thanks for checking out Reaching for the Stars - I hope you enjoy it. xx
Janice. It doesn't take long to know if things are right - mine proposed after only a couple of months and we too have been married nearly 30 years and have 3 sons! The book sounds great - I'll definitely be giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteOMG that's too funny. My husband also proposed on the third date. We got married 6 months later and had our 42 anniversary in July.
ReplyDeleteGosh Angela - it must have been a good year that year for finding love. Having three sons is pretty wonderful too, isn't it!? x
ReplyDeleteDarlene - that's so great - three seems to be a lucky number all round! x
Ooh,I do Love A Happy Ending!! I adore the names of your hens. Could they be the next 'girl band'? Fun post, Janice. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI loved both of Janice's books - Scottish humour, love and life! Great post - romantic heaven!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheryl - yes 'the girls' as I call my hens - do make a great clucking noise together!
ReplyDeleteArh, thank you Linn. I'm currently reading your new one - The Restaurant @The Mill and loving it. I do love a romance with a chef in it, as you know!
