Look What I Got In the Mail!!

That's right! Courting Morrow Little  by Laura Frantz came in the mail on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

Now, I am just trying to decide if I should read it now, or wait until a family vacation (13 loooong hours in the car) in August. Oh, I don't think I will make it to then!

Also, for those interested, I am blogging today at the Writer's Alley on my characters and how I created them for my latest WIP, a contemporary women's fiction. Hope to see you there and I will also be including a small excerpt from my novel. : )

    Self-control? Case, really? Can you possibly wait?!?

    Mary's sending you a book to read for that 13 hour stretch ;-)

    Oh, I hope I can read this book sometime soon! ;) I hope you enjoy reading it whenever you get the chance!

    And if you'd like to discuss Laura's first book, The Frontiersman's Daughter, you can join me tomorrow on my blog. :D I'd love to have you visit! (And that goes for anyone else who'd like to join the discussion!)

    Have a great day!

    @Julia and Abi, it is even MORE gorgeous in person. :D

    @Pepper, I KNOW, self control is going to be hard to control. :P I will have to plan for Mary's book, I had forgotten!

    @Granny, this isn't a contest, but yes the first book was FANTASTIC!!

    @Amber, oh I will most certainly be there, I was hoping that book was picked!! :D

    Casey, you can't be serious. Waiting to read it is not an options here. You have to read the book and tell me page-by-page, how it is.LOL;D
    I have yet to read Laura's first book but, from what I have read, I know it's a really great book.
    Nevertheless, I requested "Courting" through Revell for review. So,I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get it.

    I can't wait to see what you think of this book, Casey!!
    Love Ya,
    Ashley

    LOL, Ashley, too funny. :D I don't think I will make it until August either, but it seems I have less time to read lately. Argh! Very soon, and I promise to give you daily status reports. ;)

    Oh, I'm afraid I'm not much help at all - I always tell people to tuck that book away till winter when there aren't all these wonderful summer distractions! It's a JOY seeing Morrow in this post. Thanks for all the supportive comments here:) Happy reading to you all!

    Winter??? Laura are you serious?? There is NO way I could hide Morrow away until winter. I almost caved last night and started her before finishing all my other a-hem, seven books on my currently reading stack. *sheepish grin*.

    Random question: How do you sign up to be a book reviewer for Revell? They always have such great books!

    If you can help me, thanks! ;)

    @Amber, click on the Revell logo on the side of my blog and it should take you to the form on their site. Let me know if it doesn't.

    @Julia, we should! That would be really enjoyable. :) Do we want to meet here every Saturday for a discussion?
