Perhaps its because she's taken everything that women look for in a man- and invested this in a character who is timeless, immortal and enigmatic. is he Rochjester/Heathcliff/Darcy for our age? (and last night I bought Benedictine and wondered in which century he might have drunk it first!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677399094575321055.post-55925191233102277482011-05-19T08:22:03.825-04:002011-05-19T08:22:03.825-04:00Ohhhhhhhhh, thanks for the recommendations!!

I just sent ...I do the same thing with those books! I just sent my BFF's mom TBH in the mail. I use paperbackswap a lot and I just keep myself on the waiting list for Outlander and TBH because I know that there is always someone to give them to. <br /><br />I have not heard of The Russian Concubine. I'll have to look it up. I have heard a lot of praise on that forum about Dorothy Dunnett books and I have gotten the first one of those but haven't read it yet. I also have the first two of Sara Donati's sitting here and someone just told me there is a mention of Young Ian and Claire in them!?! How awesome is that? I really need to read those soon!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301165190436535589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677399094575321055.post-86935423179898821782011-05-17T13:55:56.518-04:002011-05-17T13:55:56.518-04:00Yes, I too suffer from Multiple Book Disorder. I ...Yes, I too suffer from Multiple Book Disorder. I have 3 friends reading the BH trilogy now. 2 have read the first two already, but won't read the last until the ebook version comes out in June. I need some serious therapy after the last book. YIKES!<br /><br />My friends & family now get a copy of Oulander and The Bronze Horseman for B-days, etc.<br /><br />On DG's blog, Rhona recommended "The Russian Concubine" (if you liked the BH). Have you read that trilogy yet? <br /><br />Anyway, back to A Discovery of Witches.............I'm lovin' it so far!Jane Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611773304104707833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677399094575321055.post-62258959046809336122011-05-17T13:41:01.858-04:002011-05-17T13:41:01.858-04:00LOL Jennifer! I have read all of them and boy that...LOL Jennifer! I have read all of them and boy that last one was a killer!! I read early last year I think. Haven't done a reread yet though. My 'to read' pile is so huge that I have a hard time fitting in rereads. I barely managed to squeeze in an Outlander series reread last year but I did. I just adore Tatiana & Alexander though. They are probably my #2 after Outlander. I'm thinking maybe I should fit them in over the summer. Maybe we can get Carol to read them too!!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301165190436535589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677399094575321055.post-84276680767297876832011-05-17T10:38:56.115-04:002011-05-17T10:38:56.115-04:00OH MY WORD!!!!
