Notes From a Broad
Just a few short thoughts for you today...
- I drove up to Dallas this weekend to meet a few people who were attending the RWA Conference. Wow, was it overwhelming. I was only there for a few hours and I was worn out when I left. Lots of authors in attendance. I was able to see Rachel Caine, who told me all her books at the book signing were gone in 45 minutes. Wow! I also got to meet Angela Knight and her wonderful husband. I love to see couples who seem to truly love and support one another and they are a great example of that.
- Finished THE CONSTANT PRINCESS by Philippa Gregory. I had waited a long time to read it because I had been disappointed in her last book, THE VIRGIN'S LOVER. And while this one was set up in a distracting way, I did enjoy it a bit better. The constant switching between the events happening and her thoughts was hard to take and even in the more long-winded bits was not especially helpful. I still have THE BOLEYN INHERITANCE to read and we shall see if that is any better.
- Still working on Rebecca York's series. Currently on CRIMSON MOON. Right now, this is tied with the first book, KILLING MOON, for my favorite. Two more to go.
- Picked up a few books at the bookstore this weekend. Was very pleased to see a large display table with romance books set up right in the aisle. And it was a nice mix of chick lit, paranormal, suspense and historical. Someone put some thought into the contents of that table.
