Karen said...: I've read one Katie MacAlister book and didn't love it so I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of this one. I might give her another try - I liked her humor if not the overall story of the book I read by her.; July 11, 2010 at 10:55 AM

Aisle B said...: Really liked the cover for Steamed. Very "bodacious colours" and almost picture perfect to pin on the wall. It might be a surprise reading so I'll check in on you to get your thoughts.

Happy reading... and yes I know I'm late! Like I said tending to breaking out of the bathroom for luxury reading can be a hazardly deed ;); July 14, 2010 at 4:21 PM
