    I'll have to check out Another Spring. I forgot I had requested another book from the library by her. I went to go look for a different author and the lady at the desk told me there was a book waiting for me. I decided to go ahead and check it out because they went through the trouble of doing an interlibrary loan for me. Hopefully it's a good one. It's called Compromises. I don't know, I guess I will find out.

    Ya, I'm really looking forward to summer semester to finally come to an end this wednesday. I will finally be able to just sit back and relax for more than a couple of minutes. I'm really excited about catching up on all of my reading!!!

    Ya, I've noticed that she has a thing for marriage out of convenience or some sort of united front. It's shown up in two of the stories I've read and I think it's going to show up in the last two stories in I Do. I don't really like how she keeps with the same sort of theme in her books. Well, I can't say that it is in all of her books, for I have only just started reading a second book by her. But I have a feeling it might be in a lot of them. And thank you for the recommendations!

    I think reading for pleasure does relieve alot of my stress. It lets me leave, even if only for one or two chapters at a time. For those brief minutes or hours or whatever, I don't focus on the homework load ahead of me, but the characters in the book. It sounds kind of corny, but if I'm really overstressed, I'll pick up a book and just throw myself into one of the characters that I like most or even hate. It helps me put perspective on things. I don't know...

    I am a very big reader. I try and read everyday. I can't say that I can get through 2-3 books a week, but I'm always reading. I usually take about a week a book, sometimes longer depending on school work and work. BUt I do love to read!!!

    I'm for sure going to check out the authors you mentioned. I am always looking for something new to read. I think paranormal books will be a change from the books I've been reading lately, so it will give a little break. I'm still pushing my way through 'I Do' I didn't realize when I checked it out from the library that it had three different stories in it, but I'm not the kind of person to start a book and then not finish it, whether it good or bad.

    But thanks again for the authors to check out!

    Oh, I forgot to ask in my last reply, but can you recommend a few good paranormal romance books? I've added some, but I'm not too sure if they are good or not. I was just wondering if you had any absolute favorites that you could tell me about! Thanks!

    Thank you! That is really helpful! I think once I finish the book I'm reading now, I'll switch to a different author. I think the switching genres is a good idea too! Thanks, it saved me from totally giving up authors!!!

    Yeah, I'm reading another book by Joan Hohl. But I'm gonna need to switch it up because I can see that I"m already seeing a lot of predictablitliy and that's one thing about books that I can't stand. If I can already tell what's going to happen way before, then I don't see it as a good book. You know what I mean?

    Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. I really wished that Ethan and Kate could have come together sooner in the book. I just really loved the fact that I got so into the book. I was never a romance book reader until I read that book, and now I can't get enough of them!!!
