You seem to love books as much as I do! :) <br /><br />I've read The Doctor's Lady as well as A Tailor Made Bride and both were fantastic. I've also heard a lot of good things about the River of Time series so hopefully those will make it into my stack before too long. So many books, so little time...<br /><br />Anyhow, hopefully I'll catch you again soon.

God always knows when we need a little boost and just how to give it to us. Thank you! <br />Oh, and I'm sitting here with pen and paper writing down the names of most of these books on your list. If you like them, I know I will too! Going to add them to the TBR pile I'm creating on Goodreads (finally getting into Goodreads--I know, it's about time!!) I was captivated with Lisa Bergren's excerpt on Clash of the Titles and have been wanting to read her books ever since!
