Hey, what's new from my end.

Well, for this time, I have been ordering a lot of books. Including those self-help books for Dummies. Such as Spanish and Italian for Dummies and Writing Romance for Dummies. I've also order a book by JAK's Dangerous Men & Adventurous Women: Romance. I've also got a few books ready to be picked up. Thank God I've got connections. I am very lucky to get anything 50% off the cover price (HC or PB) so that saves me a lot of money. I found a new (well, it's not to Harlequin but to me) Blaze series and some of the excerpt seems very interesting. Take for example, 'Coming Undone' by Stephanie Tyler. It was hilarious enough to drive me to buy the books. I've never read any of her works before, this is the first. I'll let you know how I feel about it. I love romantic comedy in books. Linda Howard's two books 'To Die For' and 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' was so good that I hope she has a third book out about Blair Malory AKA Blair Bloodworth. Talking about this kind of books, it reminds me of Catherine Coulter's 'Born To Be Wild'. If you love women who is totally full of themselves but do no harm to others, then these books are the ones you should not miss out. Recommended that you will laugh your @$$ off! I did. In the bus and it was not so nice when you have a bus full of people who looks at you like you're loco. Then there's a couple more books which I did not mention that I'll be purchasing with Blaze series. I was looking for Dorothy Garlock's "River Trilogy", just so happens that I got two out of three. I'm still looking for the first one though. 'Lonesome River' the last of the trilogy I'm still looking for. Hope to get it soon. I'm also looking forward to those self help books. Not that I want to make it as a famous writer (yeah, right!) But I just want to try. I've been reading for so long and wanted to know if I can put it down in to words, sentences and phrases and so on. It's just that I love to read so much that sometimes I feel very disappointed about some endings to some books. A few books that I love so much has such a blunt ending that I though the book was gonna have a sequel. Not! Some books the heroine were so abused by the hero that still she would forgive him. Not! I love Linda Howard. All except one of her books 'The Cutting Edge'. I feel that the heroine was so abused by the hero that she should have made him crawl on his hands and knees till he bled and beg her for her forgiveness. Not! So, maybe after so many disappointment I could write something I can feel better reading till the end. Just have to wait and see if I've got it or not. I don't want to be too negative but the truth is there's a lot of people out there who does better writing than me and still did not get their books published. Would I? Next I think I'll be writing about my favorite authors and what I feel about their work. Starting out with the first romance I read. Julie Garwood........or was it Catherine Coulter?!? Oh, well. Why not both?
