I don't have a favorte author, but there are quite a few authors that I read any and everything they write. Whether I like it or not. So far I have added about... more »

    Hi Jeanette, thanks for recommendation for "Dare", but took "The Breathing Room" off your shelf looks like it will be a good read. I also wanted to wish you a blessed Christmas with your family and friends.

    In Love With A Younger Man says

    Hi Jeanette, I left a note for you on one of my other friend's page, Jeanni, by mistake. Basically, I was saying how I remembered what you said at my booksigning at Borders Dearborn about you noticing a change in my writing style from my earlier works with my book Sweet Georgia Brown. I can't wait to see what you think of my new character Olena Day.

    In Love With A Younger Man says

    I just wanted to introduce all of my shelfari friends to my new character, Olena Day. So if you see a friend (In Love With A Younger Man) that you don't recognize I updated my shelfari profile and Sweet Georgia Brown is gone, but hopefully not forgotten. Thanks for staying supportive.

    I didn't read it yet; I saw it in my read column and that ain't true and from what I'm hearing, it's no sequel either. I saw copies on Election Day, but couldn't buy it then and since I'm not working, that isn't the best right now.

    Ya know, thats why I felt that I must have been distracted at the time....because everything she wrote I absolutely loved. In fact What You Owe Me, & Your Blues Ain't like Mine as well as Summer With My Father etc I feel very connected to. As a health care Professional myself, I am surprised it was hard for me to get to. Perhaps I will try it again. It has been such a loss to the literary world to lose BeBe Moore Campbell. So beautiful, young and such a gifted writer. Thanks for prompting me to try reading 72 Hour Hold again. I'll get back to you on my final opinion. Have a great weekend.
