I love communicating with all of you over such a long distance, even from Germany . It' s such a great idea. Readers can chat with their favorite authors and vice versa and learn something about the daily life of a writer. Big praise to you. :applause: Every morning when I get up, I'd love to switch on the computer and read the latest blog. But then I remember that it's dark night where you live :) So I have to wait till midday until I read the latest blog you wrote in the morning. That's the inly disadvantage.

On another note, I am going to recommend some non-romance books that I read this summer that were really good... The Memory Keepers Daughter (the author's name escapes me right now) Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns: Khaled Hosseini Snowflower and the Secret Fan: Lisa See Sisters: Danielle Steele (sorry, this was a romance, but not like Blaze. I loved her old stuff, but stopped reading some of her new stuff, and this book is causing me to go back and re-read some of her older stuff and taking a look at her more recent books...) Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and Sam's Letters for Jennifer: James Patterson I loved these books...can you tell that my reading taste is varied...I have been reading mostly romance lately because I needed a little romance in my life...I know, that's pathetic, but if one doesn't have it, one has to live vicariously through others or the printed word, no? Julie, you mentioned reading young adult books...I have read several, and there are several that stuck out to me... Speak (can't remember the author's name...I am a bad girl...I think it starts with L though...could be wrong) This books is primarily for young girls and I believe it should be read with a parent or another adult that they trust, so that they can discuss the material they read openly and honestly...I feel that this world has changed too much to try to shield our youth from its harsh realities, especially when they are inundated with images of demoralization, rape, abuse, bullying and such through the media...I will get off my soapbox now...sorry, I got sidetracked...can you guys tell that I am getting in school mode? Downsiders by Avi. This book is a wonderful story about difference, acceptance and tolerance... Both these books speak to a lot of things that young adults live daily in society as a whole or individually, albeit not necessarily personally...
