Question of the week: If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?

My answer: I would like to start with the first book, but there have been times where I start with book two or three.

Joy and her rival Wenda Devine have a cooking competition on live television and Joy’s secret comes out.

Dining with Joy was a fun delight to read. After reading the book, I wondered how many other cooking show hosts cannot cook. LoL! The characters are believably written. Any romance fan will enjoy reading this book.

*I would like to thank Thomas Nelson for sending me a copy to review.

Thursday Ramblings


I got my new eye-glasses on Monday, and it is taking me a few days to adjust to them.

I received Law & Order UK Season 1 DVD in the mail last week. I just finished watching the last DVD yesterday. I enjoyed watching them. Now, I need to finish watching the 21 Jump Street DVDs.
Last weekend, I found my favorite book Six-Horse Hitch in hardback at a thrift store. It's a first edition published in 1969.
