Here's her question:
What book or books do you return to read again and again and why?
I re-read pretty much anything by Susan Elizabeth Philipps. She writes awesome, wonderful, cute, cuddly, feel-good romance novels with humor. Lots of humor! And the occasional "feeling ashamed for someone else" thrown in - yes, I sometimes feel ashamed for character's actions! I admit it...
Whenever I need a quick fix of love, the happily ever after kind where trouble are overcome by the heroine and the hero and they end up together for the rest of their lives. My life doesn't hold that kind of love in store for me right now, so SEP's novels do the trick. Because trust me, German universities are not the place to look for love. All we get are 1) sissies, 2) machos, 3) metrosexuals who need more time in the bathroom than I do, or 4) gays (we all love you, but face it, you can't fill in for the "happily ever after" kind of love ;-)
What happened to the heroes?
Haha! Sorry to hear there ain't much of a love story going on in your university. But, you're right, a nice happy-ending romance usually does the trick of putting a good smile in our faces :) Hope you're enjoying the read-a-thon! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any Susan Elizabeth Phillips, but I'll add her to my list. Thanks for the tip, and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've never read anything by that author. I'll have to check it out!:) Good luck finishing the read-a-thon! We still have quite a long time before it's over! Happy Reading!;)
ReplyDeleteSadly, I've never even heard of that author. :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't even heard of her!! But congrats on being reader of the hour :D
ReplyDeleteI love Holding Out For A Hero... it is not a background song for me though, I like to blast that one!
ReplyDeleteI've read - and enjoyed - a lot of SEP's work, so I can definitely understand the re-reading urge.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I have the song stuck in my head. It'll be like the soundtrack to me reading :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the readathon!
I haven't read anything by this author before...glad to know she is good :) You look like you're doing well with the event!
ReplyDeletelol :) Never read anything by SEP.. Hoping you are enjoying the read-a-thon.. Wishing you luck for the rest of the day..
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by her before, but I will need to check out some of her books!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading :)
LOL Mark David - not all that funny ;-) But yep, a nice happy-ending helps to put the smile back on!
ReplyDeleteTo you others, apparently quite a number of people haven't heard of SEP yet. You really should give her books a chance! And tell me what you think once you've read one of her books!
Never That Easy, glad I'm not the only one. It's such a feel good author for me.
Glad I could help some with the song. A good song always helps!
Thanks for participating in my mini challenge!
