    Hope you have a great November!!!

  7. Nice, Kathryn! I read and enjoyed Faithful, but that's it from your list, though I've read and enjoyed in the past Cathy Lamb, Catherine Ryan Hyde, Nicholas Sparks, Lisa Kleypas, Nora Roberts and Catherine Anderson... so I'm open to any and all suggestions and will jot your choices down.

    Glad you had a great month reading, and look forward to what you're reading this coming month.
