I didn’t know you had a book blog, too! DichotomousNature is my general blog, but I have a book blog at MyWorldInBooks.wordpress.com, if you’re interested.

I only started it in December, but yep – I got one too, LOL! With Crystal’s help, and her birthday present, I managed to improve it quite a bit. I plan on creating a website, but I want to wait until I have a new computer first.

Thanks for sharing your links with me.
I luv ur passion about cars.
kimbyz, on April 26th, 2008 at 7:08 pm Said:

don’t think i could even list 45 authors at gunpoint. lol
Gina, on April 28th, 2008 at 3:28 pm Said:

Anytime! And I love cars, especially hot rods – drag racing is in my blood and I grew up around the track. My son, even at the age of 3, seems to want to follow in the family’s footsteps, LOL!
Gina, on April 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm Said:

These are the authors that I’ve read and like. LOL, and that’s not the entire list either. I’m behind in my updating!

I know exactly how you feel!! It seems not only do we read about the same amount, we read the same books!! However, I have stopped buying paper books about 10 years ago. I read my books in my PDA.

This way I can carry hundreds of them with me and I maintain my library on my PC. Once you try it, you will never go back to paper ever again.

I look forward to reading more of your site.

Thanks for the review–interesting concept about gibbons and laura perhaps I could explore that further, I am planning a sequel but I am kinda stuck. –maybe its Like Stephanie and Joe vs Stephanie and Ranger. Steph didn’t sleep with Ranger right away–so who knows what can happen
Gina, on November 28th, 2008 at 1:50 pm Said:

It’s what popped up at me, Karen. I mean, Gerry is talking to Gibbons about ’sticking around, why is he that focused on helping Laura’. Yet Gibbons assures Gerry he won’t poach, but it felt like it wasn’t at face value – like he said it only to appease Gerry, not really meaning it. *shrug* It’s what I felt!

I have to say i agree. The way I figure it is, read the first book, Blood Brothers, cause that one was excellent then let your imagination fill in the rest.

Thanks for sharing a good, in depth review.

  Thank you, Christine, for your comment on my review. I always try to write a review that would have more than just I liked it/I disliked it. A good review, whether the book was good or not, helps explain a reader’s feelings for those who want to know. Thus, LOL, a Bookaholic’s Review! Thanks again, and stop by anytime! =)

Hi Gina, I’m just tickled with your review and pleased you enjoyed Sully. Chaz and Ren. Yep, I hear you on first person POV–I know a lot of people get the yips over it. But there’s really no other way I could tell Chaz’s and Sully’s story, and I think you caught the reason why very well.

I hope you enjoy Shades of Dark (sneak peeks are on my Yahoo Group for free…link to join my Group on tne NEWS page on my site) and Hope’s Folly, which will be out in Feb 2009. Oh, do check out the book videos for Shades and Folly on my site too!

Sully is one of my favorite characters because of his ability to love so deeply…and yet at such risk.

By the way, I originally wrote Gabriel’s Ghost in thirty-four exhausting days (and no, it was not a NANOWRIMO project). The story simply would not stop. That’s the only book that’s happened that way with me.

Again, many thanks and blessings to you and yours this holiday season. ~Linnea

  Linnea,
  
  I’m glad you liked my review! Gabriel’s Ghost came highly recommended by a friend. She knows I’m more into paranormal than sci-fi, but she believed I’d like it, and she was right. I’m already on Page 207 of Shades of Dark; I’m really enjoying the characters and the plot line. I don’t mind saying you’re an awesome writer and I’ll definitely be looking for more of you work.
  
  Happy Holidays to you and yours!
  
  Gin

Gina,
Your review is terrific. I loved SHADES OF DARK. I also understand some of your frustration. I can tell you that Linnea addressin HOPES FOLLY some of your concerns for Chaz and Sully.
- Gina, on December 28th, 2008 at 2:08 pm Said:
  
  That’s great news! I really didn’t like how Shades of Dark left me feeling like that. Thanks for your comment!

Great review! I’ve had this one for a while, but I’ve never gotten around to reading it. I guess I’ll have to dig it out of the pile soon.
- Gina, on January 13th, 2009 at 11:13 pm Said:
  
  Thanks, Eyre! Oh, this is definitely not one you want to miss, Eyre! You’ll learn some things about Rachel and her family that will knock your socks off. Those summers at camp, where we have already learned that Trent’s father ‘tweeked’ around with her DNA… you’ll learn something about that – more like the ‘after effect’ of it. Don’t wait too long to read it, LOL!

  Ah, the Twilight series… I’ve only read the first book so far. Have you read them all?

I just posted an interview with Carla on my blog, http://stacybuckeye.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/9-in-09-with-carla-neggers/
She was great!
- Gina, on January 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 pm Said:
  
  Terrific! Thanks for posting the link with your comment. Carla is one of my fave authors. I’m hoping to be able to interview authors for my blog; that would be really great. Perhaps in the future. Once again, thanks Stacy!

Hey Gina, I’m going to add you to my blogroll. See you at Novel Ladies – the GR edition. ~ Cindy

nice review =) I’m also hooked on this series…so far I’ve only read #9 and just finished #1, but I’m definitely looking forward to filling in the gap!
- Gina, on April 6th, 2009 at 4:59 pm Said:
  
  Thank you, emmegail! This series quickly became one of my faves. A friend had read my profile on Shelfari and told me about this series. I’ve been hooked since, LOL! Can’t get enough of the gang on Steele Street.

Just stumbled across your blog – looks good! I see a couple of my favourite authors on your list, which has given me the idea to maybe do the same thing on my blog…………..
- Gina, on April 24th, 2009 at 2:00 am Said:
  
  Thank you for your comment; LOL, glad I could help with an idea for your blog. I posted that page to help me keep track of my fave authors. And, LOL, the list is outdated. There are more I can add, LOL!
