"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." - Erasmus
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. - Groucho Marx
At the top of my list (at least at the moment :-)) is...
In the Contemporary category
New book I have to add to my favorites is She's My Mom. An extraordinary story worth reading.
Mystery Wife by Annette Broadrick is about amnesia. Happy Father's Day by Barbara Faith is about a single father. A Love Beyond Words by Sherryl Woods is about a lady who is deaf.
In the Historical category
Most Amanda Quick, any Seven Brides or The Cowboy's Series from Leigh Greenwood and any historical Julie Garwood. The first books from these authors that pop to mind are Deception by Amanda Quick, Seven Brides: Lilly by Leigh Greenwood and The Lion's Lady by Julie Garwood which was the first I had read for both Leigh Greenwood and Julie Garwood.
In the Other Worldly category
Dark Prince followed by Dark Desire although it is hard for me to say I like any of the "Dark" series by Christine Feehan better than the others.
Another couple of good books are Deeper Than The Night and Sunlight Moonlight by Amanda Ashley
And let me not forget to mention all the "Wings in the Night" books by Maggie Shayne. The first three: Twilight Phantasies, Twilight Memories & Twilight Illusions re-released in one book called 'Wings in the Night'. Beyond Twilight & Born In Twilight the next books are re-released in one book called "At Twilight". Then there is Twilight Vows | Twilight Hunger | Embrace The Twilight | Edge of Twilight.
Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon was released this month (Jan 05) and it along with all the other Hunter-Legends (Dark-Hunter, Were-Hunter and Dream-Hunters) are well worth the price and then some. I have all of them on my keeper shelf. Although at the moment Night Play is my favorite I have to admit that I can't get enough of Ash and Simmi. ![]()

In the Time Travel category
Breath of Magic by Teresa Medeiros Frankly, My Dear by Sandra Hill Sweeter Savage Love by Sandra Hill and any Eugenia Riley like Tryst In Time.
I just can't say enough about any of these books, that's one reason they are on my favorites list.
