Number 46
As I stated before and will continue to drown this out until my eyes pop, my drawers are hanging down my legs and my head is still bobbing up and down the bookshelves, book stores, book fairs, book clubs, book seance's, facebook, itbook, atbook, what ever book, to get the word out about us.
It’s Black History Year and here’s some more of what’s in fashion, “Reading us.” Will update you more, though, on the reality TV Blog Show, “Life without my mother and the sufferings of a du jour, bookworm daughter whose living with Dad and a Grandma who stalks.” Right, let’s bring in the books
MICHAEL GLENN YATES - MY PARTNER’S WIFE - Paperback - $9.92 - - - I ordered this book and there are some used books but the prices, if you can believe, were higher. Oh, well, according to a few reviewers, the main character is not as exciting as Sneak and Lamar, so I got to find out what’s the deal (did I just just write, “What’s the deal?, I’m having a Shaft-Richard Roundtree moment!). Get the book. My Partner's Wife
ANDREA CLINTON - “LIFE KNOWS NO BOUNDS: 1 WHO LUVS U MORE” - $11.01 - - - “Money grubbing, gold digger” is what Alisa mother and aunt calls her, so instead she listens to her grandmother who tells her to “always get a man who loves you more than you love him." But Alisa becomes so spoiled rotten and confused she can't seem to find the flowers because of the bees."Life Knows No Bounds: 1 Who Luvs U More"
I have mentioned BETTYE GRIFFIN before and I must say, the writing is fierce and keeps you coming back. I do like romance stories with a twist. Her latest “THE HEAT OF HEAT” - $3.99 - - - A steamy summer, Twenty somethings Chantal Hatchet, her sister Sinclair, and their good friend Yolanda Jones are working on building their careers. Their love lives, though, are another matter…until the night of rising singer Carlos Brown’s concert on his native Long Island. Chantal has a close encounter with handsome CPA Trystian Rogers…very close. Yolanda catches Carlos’s eye mid-song, making for a very public love connection…but can it last under the weight of his celebrity? Sinclair has no luck that night, but soon she meets magazine publisher Ivan Price, and they, like the others, get caught up in “The Heat of Heat.”
Here are her other books:
A NEW KIND OF BLISS - $ 8.96 A New Kind of Bliss
THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR - $4.47 - - - I enjoyed this one in particular. The People Next Door
IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK - $8.96 If These Walls Could Talk
TROUBLE DOWN THE ROAD - $8.96 - - The oh-so-complicated passions and power plays in a Jacksonville, Fla., suburb emerge in Griffin's sticky melodrama (after The People Next Door) about just how low some women might go to snag a rich man, even if he belongs to someone else. Middle-aged Suzanne Betancourt is married to her former boss, radiologist Bradley Betancourt, and, in a frustrating twist of fate, lives next door to Bradley's ex-wife, Lisa, and her second husband and children. If that's not bad enough, she suspects that Micheline Trent, the young wife of Bradley's golfing buddy, wants her man. Micheline's got crazy baggage of her own, as do the neighbors down the street, whose son gets quickie married to Suzanne's pregnant sister. Readers may have trouble keeping up with the large cast and all the twists that Griffin packs into this tart and torrid tempest, but those who crave their drama fast and furious will surely enjoy.

Hey, how come everyone is under the age of 40. Are they trying to say over 40 can’t have good old romance. I need to look for more books for us over 40 women who can knock a man down faster than he can think straight. I am that good.
