BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!
Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.
Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

But her plot to avenge her father and free her people is threatened when a mysterious Norman knight abducts her with plans to use her for espionage. Drogo’s fascinating captive is nothing like he anticipated.

EXCERPT #3
She moved her hand to the pink bow between her breasts, the floppy knot that tied the neckline of her chemise. Hesitation seized her.
Drogo LaForce was waiting. He was judging. He was challenging her to go through with this.
Well, if he had thrown the glove down, then she would rise to his dare. He still had no idea with whom he was dealing. There was nothing for her to lose, only knowledge and expertise to gain, and she hadn’t survived this long by balking at difficulty.
Stercian and Leofric had kept her isolated from men, protected from those who would harm her, but this Norman knight would teach her new skills to get her through the next phase of her life. She and Phoebe could not live forever in the hermit’s cave.
Taking the end of the ribbon between her thumb and index finger, she tugged.
LaForce bolted upright in his chair, erect and alert like a stag scenting a hind in the woods. Had she surprised him? How—
Before she had time to finish the thought, he surged to his feet and eliminated the few paces between them. One arm he wrapped about her, his other hand landing on the opening of her chemise between her breasts. Where he touched flesh, she could feel the soft leather of his glove and the warmth of his life force beneath.
“Let me show you,” he muttered from above her, his lips in her hair.
He bent his head to touch his mouth to hers. That was it, at first. Just a touch, and then she opened for him. Remembering what he’d instructed earlier, she used her own tongue to carefully investigate his. With a small moan of pleasure, she let him know she tasted him.
He answered with his own moan. Feigned, or forced against his will, she couldn’t say, but she wanted to believe he was losing himself the same way she was.
One hand supported her from behind, his fingers splayed at her back. His other hand he shifted to cup her breast.
Then he did something unexpected.

Ever since the morning in bed when he’d had his mouth on her body, she’d dreamed of him touching her, kissing her, everywhere. But especially there.

DON'T MISS THE FIRST BOOK IN THE 

ROGUES OF ROUEN SERIES!

 A maiden's duty becomes a woman's desire...

Comte Gregoire FitzHenri, the new Earl of Shyleburgh, is known for his prowess as one of the Norman conqueror's most favored warriors...but not for his romantic sensibility or his command of the English language. Gregoire looks forward to his imminent marriage with his seneschal's beautiful daughter, his longtime betrothed. But as a rough-hewn soldier, he wishes to enchant the elegant lady before taking their wedding vows-which means an interpreter...and much-needed lessons in courtly love.
The clever Bridget of Shyleburgh has been secretly in love with Gregoire since his visit as a dashing young warrior-when he was promised in marriage to her sister. But when he returns five years later as their new earl, Bridget is tasked with translating for him-including his love letters and somewhat awkward attempts to woo her sister. Mortified at first, Bridget soon finds herself completely charmed by his whispers of love and desire. She never expected such tenderness...or such wicked temptation... from a man like him. Gregoire's heated missives tempt a fair maiden to stray down a path filled with forbidden pleasures.
But his words are meant for another... aren't they?
