But yes, I do read a lot of Regencies. I love the time period, and it certainly helps that some of my favourite authors write about it.<br /><br />As for the book... I went upstairs, took a nap, then brought it down with me. I couldn't resist the call of the bed and the two cuddly doggies who were on it.Lynz Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491480053800624652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-5852740085684105812009-07-08T13:42:56.944-04:002009-07-08T13:42:56.944-04:00Oops!

Get the book? Don't get the book?<br /><br />Hardcover, what can I say? I can only dream of my books ever being brought out in hardcover. Sigh!Christine Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260589566405262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-91742717814461751512009-07-08T02:14:25.090-04:002009-07-08T02:14:25.090-04:00Christine: I review for rakehell. I'm actually...Christine: I review for rakehell. I'm actually currently switching back and forth between writing here, watching season two of Psych, and wondering if I can write my review of Louise Allen's August release without actually going upstairs to grab the book. Hurray for laziness! And I think the reason manga and anime are so popular is that there's really something out there for everyone, young or old, regardless of gender. There's such huge selection that it's hard not to find something you like.<br /><br />Alaine: Yeah, I've borrowed hardcovers from my friends before, even *coincidentally* gotten them hooked on a series right before the next book comes out in hardcover... and there's always the library, too, but it's still just not the same as owning the book yourself and being able to re-read it whenever you want to. And yes, I think they do it just to drive us crazy... crazy enough to buy more books since we want a matching set, that is!Lynz Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491480053800624652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-31794513139948971892009-07-07T23:17:29.871-04:002009-07-07T23:17:29.871-04:00Tawny, you're living proof of what I'm say...Tawny, you're living proof of what I'm saying--that successful people are often obsessive!LOL I love that your husband knows and respects that about you.<br /><br />Thanks for celebrating with me.

C...WHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO It's Release Day!!!!<br /><br />Congratulations, Christine, I'm so excited to get my hands on this book! <br /><br />As for obsession, oh baby, I'm the Queen. Writing, Johnny Depp, Castle, learning, kids. You name it, once I get invested, I'm obsessively invested. How can I get more, do more, be more, have more. My husband and I have a deal -whenever there's a project to do or renovation in the works, he won't even talk to me about it until he's ready to work on it because he knows once I start focusing and obsessing, I'm a nightmare. <br /><br />But when obsessions pay off with incredible books like Wicked Little Game, how can one think they are anything but awesome???Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-34318693684896499402009-07-07T22:56:47.391-04:002009-07-07T22:56:47.391-04:00Hi Caffey, what a compliment!

I do it because I have two little boys who like to push buttons and twist knobs! Maybe you developed the habit that way? Or maybe there's something wrong with me that I identify with so many of these obsessions?LOLChristine Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260589566405262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-34424568657944739902009-07-07T22:45:09.069-04:002009-07-07T22:45:09.069-04:00Hi Christine!

Its just been beautiful going on this journey with you as a reader with each and every book you have out. (Kind of like being a stalker, smile).<br /><br />I have a few obsessions besides my books, LOL. One is checking the stove knobs every time I pass the stove. My hubby rolls my eyes at both (yep my books too, but he says we only have one life so enjoy it!)

Wonderful that after so many children and grandchildren you are still so involved in the next generation.
