Oh my word yes and the book literally blew my mind! I died a few times reading it. It was fantastic! I can't wait for Elisabeths next book. It is coming out in January of 2010. I don't want to wait but it looks as though I must. I don't remember the name of the book.

I've not read The Historian in a while but I remember adoring it. There are a few key scenes that I remember. apparently it's being made into a movie as well. There is no way it could ever do the book 1/2 the justice it deserves. eeek!

I've read all the books in some of these series, and there are only two I haven't sampled. Looks like the TBR pile is going to grow some more.

The Spellman Files (Spellman Files Series #1) is the first in a (currently) 3 book series about a dysfunctional family of private detectives.  It is hilarious and you really get to know the characters through their exploits.  A must read for any funny, light-hearted book lover!

My favorite series is The Sisterhood Series written by Fern Michaels.  These characters get into your brain and you will remember them and really care what happens to them.  This is a group of women who have been wronged in their lifetime and they seek revenge on their abusers.  They reek havoc on their enemies.  Very amusing too.  Fern Michaels is a terrific author as she writes with humor which helps in tense situation.  I read all her books.  Very much worth your time.  BTW, the Sisterhood Series are large paperback books.  Enjoy these women and what they do!

Kindred Spirits  After reading Kindred Spirits, I am a big fan of Sarah Strohmeyer.....I just could not put the book down and one I am recommending to all my girlfriends.
