Saturday Book Stroll

Most Saturdays, I will be sharing books that I'm currently reading (and recommending!).

Of course my first love is Steeple Hill books and other cateromance, but Saturday afternoons are reserved for other various books I'm reading by authors I enjoy.

Hope you will consider picking up this week's featured Saturday Afternoon Stroll book.

Hi Cheryl:

I checked out “Elvis Takes a Back Seat”, and the book has wonderful cover art! It just makes me want to read the book. This book has a great concept for a story. I’ll read it if I can get it in large print or as an eBook.

BTW, how do you get to write books and read so many books, too? Isn’t it uncommon for an author, who writes a lot of books like you do, to also do book reviews? I’d rather read a book review by another author over any other type of review. I’ve heard mystery writers who say they don’t read any other books in their genre for fear of being influenced. Do you find that in romance? Romance authors seem to be so free with their ideas and support for other authors.

I hope you keep doing the reviews here because I don’t think I would have ever heard of “Elvis Takes a Back Seat” if you had not done the review. Keep finding gems in 2009.

Thanks,
Vince

Forgot to answer your question...I am a speed reader and I write extremely fast too. God has graced me with both abilities, for sure.

I read every genre imaginable. Though I prefer some over others, I try to read everything, including literary fiction, poetry, action/adventure (my favorite along with romance!), non-fiction, historicals, Etc.

I have always been an avid reader. Though I wish I had even more time to read. LOL.
