Let me tell you the HOURS and DAYS and all the TROUBLE I went through to remember the book Firelight. I had just finished an arranged marriage book and I was feeling like reading another and for some odd reason I remembered the book with the red dress in the cover that mentioned something about arranged marriage and beast hero or something like that. Of course though I did not remember the title or author AT ALL. I went through the 800+ book on my GR TBR and still didn't find it (even though I had it added. My eyes must have missed the cover.) I googled and searched with every possible keyword that could lead me to the book with the info I remember. "Red dress on the cover" "ugly hero" "beast hero" "arranged marriage" "steampunk" because the cover looked steampunkish and I spent HOURS for MULTIPLE DAYS trying to come across Firelight but I never found it. Until now. So thank you for reading this book and thank god it's your favorite because I probably would have spend some more crazy hours looking for it and failing. Honest to god, I did a happy dance when I saw the cover BECAUSE YOU HONESTLY CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MANY HOURS I SPENT TRYING TO LOOK FOR IT!! I even considered applying for the help a bitch out over at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog because I needed help!! <br /><br />Anyways besides being my current favorite person in the world, I love you EVEN MORE because yes! What I Did For a Duke is probably the greatest historical romance we will read for a while. It's so damn perfect! The type of book that comes around every 10 years or so.<br /><br />Jana, I have SERIOUS love for On the Island. What a spectacular book! <br />Jamie, your picks are priority reads!<br />Daisy, I'm gonna give fantasy a try and the Cinda Williams Chima & Rae Carson books will definitely be given a chance.<br /><br />P.s. I love you Julia!Racquel (A Book Barbie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12084566299114982926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-61868619578557930422012-12-23T16:27:19.479-05:002012-12-23T16:27:19.479-05:00Quiet was one of my favourite books this year. ire...Quiet was one of my favourite books this year. ireviewed it here: http://www.fennellbooks.co.uk/journal/2012/5/12/quiet-by-susan-cain.html<br />I was really taken with the writing style and personal angle Susan Cain took.

I ...I gave a squeak when I saw Wanderlove up there! I thought I was the only other person who'd read that book (and loved it!) I've got Foretell on the Kindle right now, waiting for when my library books are read. With you loving that one, and On the Island (newfound and HUGE love for it), I'm going to TBR Time Between Us.<br /><br />Also glad to see another few on my TBR list here - makes me want to bump them up the queue =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738687519994194170noreply@blogger.com
