This event is being hosted by Nat of Reading Romances and the idea is to share a favorite read.
I'm cheating a bit because I'm sharing my favorite reads (plural) -- all by one author, Sherry Thomas.
I discovered Sherry Thomas by accident and, I admit, it was a case of judging a book by its very beautiful cover.
I had just had my second child and my husband was on a trip and I asked him to find me a copy of Private Arrangements -- he found the very last copy at the bookstore and brought it home to me.I read it in one sitting. And this was a book that had me crying. Yes, crying -- not teary or misty-eyed, but full-on no-holds-barred sobbing/hiccuping/gulping/crying at 2 o'clock in the morning --
It's been four years and five books and I have enjoyed every word and every page of Sherry Thomas's books. Her sixth book (and the second installment in her Fitzhugh Trilogy), Ravishing the Heiress, will be released July 2012. (Yes, I have pre-ordered that and also the last part of the trilogy, Tempting the Bride, which will be released in October 2012.)
To read my review of the first book in the Fitzhugh Trilogy, click here: Beguiling the Beauty by Sherry Thomas.
To find out more about Sherry Thomas and her books, visit her website. She's also on Facebook.
