There's a new package on it's way to me now.<br /><br />I finished Torrent today and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic series. You really must buy them... next month!?? :)Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-67369095581107400952011-10-24T19:15:47.234-04:002011-10-24T19:15:47.234-04:00Thank you for this warm welcome!
Ach yes 'ti...Thank you for this warm welcome!<br /> <br />Ach yes 'time'!... There should be a few more hours in a day just for reading! Don't you think so, Diana?<br /> <br />I often say to Marian': 'Whatever would we do without books?!?'<br /> <br />Our (many) bookshelves are overstuffed with books and still I think you can never have too many books! This sweet 'reading addiction' makes me buy new books every month... I order them... wait anxious for their delivery... and when they finally arrive, I'm as happy as a child, unpacking my new treasures with eyes full of wonder... marveling at their colorful look, smelling the fresh paper, feeling their soft covers,...<br />And finally I'm faced by the ever difficult problem: which one shall I read first? :) <br /> <br />Blessings!<br />IlseIlsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812594196672262980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-34532125098416703522011-10-22T07:20:24.362-04:002011-10-22T07:20:24.362-04:00So nice to see you here Ilse!

Yes, Marian was very excited about these books with me as well. LOL! I eventually want to read the whole series (so many books, so little time), sigh...<br /><br />Thank you for sharing Lisa's wonderful quote with us. I guess that's what makes her such an imaginative and awesome author!

Marian's enthousiasm about them was so clear during our frequent mails about 'books and the things of life'. Can't wait to read them myself!<br /><br />It's funny that a lot of you are 'historical novel' lovers... just like me! During my work as a librarian I read several books in this genre. And the combination of historical fiction and this genre is just great! <br /><br />And Lisa... I recognise myself so very much in what you write on your blog...<br />Quote: I think it’s that forever-kid inside me, a desire within to know something beyond myself, beyond my ordinary life. I love a good tale that captures my imagination and makes me think, “What if…”<br /><br />Thank you for writing books like these, for they give me a thrill even before I read them!<br /><br />Ilse de Boer BostynIlsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812594196672262980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-69844826565953037712011-10-21T19:40:54.558-04:002011-10-21T19:40:54.558-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ilsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812594196672262980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-9316851598946848272011-10-21T19:29:54.806-04:002011-10-21T19:29:54.806-04:00What timing!

Right now I'm reading Torrent and I also love it.<br /><br />For me this also was a different genre than what I usually read. Like you I mostely choose historical fiction. But when I'm reading for the publisher I get to read all genres.<br /><br />Thank you two for being my friend every day!Marian Baayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990486522138340848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-62974311328388253772011-10-21T10:54:20.055-04:002011-10-21T10:54:20.055-04:00Wow, Carrie, you really are stepping out of your g...Wow, Carrie, you really are stepping out of your genre comfort zone! LOL! Well, actually not really, as they go back in time and then it becomes a historical fiction, so you're ok. Just don't get too excited listening to it while cleaning house...wouldn't want you to break the fine China or anything.;) I guess I need to behave myself this morning, don't I?:)Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-17580913566309294162011-10-21T10:05:52.489-04:002011-10-21T10:05:52.489-04:00They are doing the first book as the club selectio...They are doing the first book as the club selection this month for the ACFW Book Club and I am listening to it on the audible download.

Ok, here I am with a big smile!<br /><br />Marian, thank you so much for being our Friend on Friday and thank you for the review! Marian is much more than my friend on Friday, she is a dear friend every day! She liked Waterfall so much (the first book in this series) that she ordered a copy for me from CBD! I enjoyed it very much, though it totally veered away from my usual genre! It's good to get out of that rut once in awhile, and read something totally different. I want to read Cascade and Torrent (just for fun-no reviews; although I did do a review on Waterfall), I just haven't had the chance yet.<br /><br />Marian reads and reviews books from the publishing company and gives me alot of good insight on which books are good and those that are not so good. Likewise I do the same with her. I love our book talk! <br /><br />For a really exciting, fun read, order the whole set in The River of Times series! Thanks again, Marian!Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.com
