Is there anything more frustrating than discovering a new author...and then finding out she's only written THREE books?! This was my January. I spent the month curled up in my favorite chair and indulged in all three of Kate Morten's novels: The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden and The Distant Hours (note the titles and read them). Beautifully written and suspenseful, I went from one book to the next like a junkie in need of a fix. By the time I ran out of reading material, I was primed. I was ready for the next book. Problem...there wasn't a next book. I combed the aisles of the library looking for something to read, but I didn't know what I was looking for. The situation was getting desperate.
That's when I called Nancy. Nancy is a fellow bibliophile...a very well connected bibliophile. Authors send Nancy books...for free. They want Nancy to read their books. They are in line to have Nancy read their books. I don't sound jealous do I? So, I called Nancy and we got to talking. I explained my plight and we talked books for a few minutes. Then after a moment, she paused, sighed and said, "I'll be right over!" Within moments were leaning over the back of her mini van. Long story short, Nancy is my new supplier...in the non-druggie sense. She shared her bounty with me. I'm left with the gleeful task of sifting through her titles for my next book. Have I told you lately that I love Nancy?!

Wow. Nancy sounds awesome.
She is your enabler too? I have 4 that I'm returning to her this week. It's nice she lives so close. I can't wait to read the Forgoten Garden as I have heard really good things about that one. Can I borrow it?
