Of course, there are more stories waiting to be written.<br /><br />Thanks, Alicia. I reserve my reading time for bedtime. Some nights it's a page or two; other nights I read too long.<br /><br />Alison, I don't care for dark paranormal either. Glad you like the cover. I do, too.<br /><br />Leah, thanks for picking up a copy. I never got into the Little House books. Now Kathleen Woodiwiss--loved her stories.<br /> Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-4420467814761267122015-05-08T18:31:06.851-04:002015-05-08T18:31:06.851-04:00This looks terrific, Diane!

I was hugely hooked on Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books. I still remember their adventures on the plains during blizzards. (I think it was the start of my dislike for snow!) Then I got into Victoria Holt and the Gothic mysteries, then Kathleen Woodiwiss came along. :-)Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-62844552175147358322015-05-08T16:41:53.019-04:002015-05-08T16:41:53.019-04:00I enjoy reading most genres, although I've nev...I enjoy reading most genres, although I've never been able to get into dark paranormals.

I also love reading a variety of genres, and while I am willing to try books out of my normal genre, I often find that I don't enjoy them. My pleasure reading time is so limited, that I have to really be grabbed up front, regardless of genre. :)Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-75576461636376827092015-05-08T15:56:56.752-04:002015-05-08T15:56:56.752-04:00I loved reading about Alex and Nick.

As for reading habits, I guess I like to read a lot of different sub-genres, but I enjoy a good romance no matter what the setting.

Those ladies did gothic romance so well.<br /><br />Jannine, I know what you mean. I can't help writing a suspense into my stories.<br /><br />Chrys, me too.<br /><br />Thanks, Rolynn. I love the cover, too. I belong to a book club that "makes" me read books outside the romance genre. Some I don't care for at all. As you say, it's about preferences.<br />Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-79673559894936640242015-05-08T11:30:19.824-04:002015-05-08T11:30:19.824-04:00Love your cover, Diane. Brilliant color and cute ...Love your cover, Diane. Brilliant color and cute touches. I, too am eclectic. My book club choices keep me reading stuff I never would have picked up. I like literary fiction (All the Light We Cannot See, by Doerr), but I don't write it. I write light suspense spiked with romance...and I do like to read that genre as well as write it. Just finished an Ann Rice for the fun of it...won't read another. It's all about preference...no right or wrong, for sure.Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-26819457875276130582015-05-08T09:08:20.828-04:002015-05-08T09:08:20.828-04:00I read books in just about every genre.
