Thank you Carla for providing the world with wonderful books.
As a reader, I'm thankful for readers who love books so much that they join book clubs. I'm a late "joiner" but my book club keeps my reading circle wide and my mind active.
Thanks, Carla, for a post that also makes us think.
Carla,
As a reader, I'm grateful for the wealth of knowledge and wisdom shared in stories. I've learned about other countries, about various careers, about problem-solving, about relationships, and on and on.
Thanks for the push to appreciate the importance books have in our lives!
As a reader, I am thankful for the escape to a different century, town or country. I love paranormal so being able to suspend the real world and enter a fantasy world is awesome. Thanks for all the wonderful books you and all authors write!! Happy early Thanksgiving!!
As a reader, I am thankful for entertaining books that take me to another place and time.
Hi Carla, Thanks for guesting with us at Romancing The Genres!!! Unfortunately both Sarah and I (the Blog Queens) had medical issues when your post originally went live and neither of us were able to use the computer right then.
Somewhat back to normal now.
I've always loved to escape into a book. Through books I've traveled the world and experienced many different life styles and time periods. There was a time when I loved thrillers, especially psychological thrillers. I was a big Tom Clancy fan. I've found over the years that my reading tastes have dramatically changed. I still love historical romance and historical fiction but when it comes to contemporary, leave out the gore and tone down the suspense. If it is a "page turner" I'll put it down and never finish it.
I'm thankful there are still books like your "A Knights Bridge Christmas" out there for me to read!!!
