Almost finished...Barbara Metzger

Well, last night I finished "A Debt for Delia" by Barbara Metzger.  It is one of my favorites to date.  Metzger writes in the Regency Romance Genre with a slant toward the history and the humorous.  


Her writing is delightful and I keep coming back for more.  She has written on "contemporary" novel, but I prefer her historical novels.  I am waiting for more.



I am a "series" reader. And when I find an author I like, I am a compelled to read everything they have written.  I am one book away from reading everything that B. Metzger has written.  I have ordered "the last one: "Christmas Wishes" from Paperback Swap and from the InterLibrary Loan Department of my library.  I am covering all bases.

The Next Stop - No. 47 Florida

I guess the first time I went to Florida it was in the 70's.  I can remember going to Cape Canaveral aka Cape Kennedy and spending the night in Saint Augustine...the oldest city in the U.S.  








The next time I went with Chuck, Sherri and Catherine to Walt Disney World.  The next time was on our honeymoon in Dune Allen Beach. 


I have to say I didn't realize how often I have been to Florida until now.  Other times: Perdido Keys with friends: Fort Meyers/Sanibel Island with Chuck when he attended a golf school: Sebring...another golf-related trip; 

finally, to Jacksonville, a First Tee related trip.  








I like visiting Florida, but have never wanted to live there.  I have a friend that lived in Fort Walton Beach, but now lives in New York State.  I have a niece that owns a condo on Santa Rosa Beach...I forgot about that trip. 

How many times is that?...nine times and counting.  

The best beaches in the world are in the Pan Handle of Florida,

but they are now being invaded oil...










so sad, tragic for all...visitors, residents, businesses.

A Secret Affair

I finished the final book of a series by my favorite Regency romance author, Mary Balogh.  If you haven't discovered Regency Romance or even Mary, you are missing wonderful stories full of history and romance.  I have been hooked on them and Mary for several years.  I have never been disappointed.  If you are a fan of happily ever after, this genre is the "read" for you.  I am; it is!


Therefore, I recommend to you the "The Huxtables" series.  There are five books in the series:  

First Comes Marriage "Vanessa's story";

 Then Comes Seduction "Katherine"; 

At Last Comes Love, "Margaret"; 

Seducing an Angel, "Stephan" ;

and lastly...saving the best...
A Secret Affair, "Con".
