    I love the Pink Carnation series! I got The Orchid Affair from the library this week. I also enjoyed The Queen's Dollmaker and I am looking forward to picking up the next book. I hope you enjoy all of these. I've heard good things about The Paris Wife in particular.

    Love You More sounds so good. I've read most of Lisa Gardner's books, but haven't read this one or her previous title yet. I hope you enjoy all of the books you received this week! Happy reading! 😀

    Christina: I am looking forward to reading the Pink Carnation series. I had already read The Queen's Dollmaker last year (borrowed from the library) and loved it…so I wanted to buy it to add to my collection. A Royal Likeness, her next book, is great!

    Corrine: Love You More is going to be my 2nd Lisa Gardner book…I am reading it for her blog tour and my review will be posted in March.

    I have those books in the Pink Carnation series on my TBR stack. I want to read them but I need to read a bunch of review books first. They are really calling my name and tempting me though. Happy reading!

    @Kathy Martin Kathy: I've been on quite a historical fiction kick lately at least in buying books. I'm hoping it translates to a historical fiction reading kick, too!

    You got the Amy Tan book! OMG I love TAN!

    you are so lucky! Girl if you love historical fiction go find a copy of Exit the Actress and India Black. I loved these 2 books and you have to read them to discover how amazing they are.

    Kiss Amy Tan for me please 🙂

    @Aisle B This is my first Amy Tan book – I haven't read her before but have heard such good things about her that I jumped at the opportunity to read and review this book. I already have Exit the Actress on my tbr list – haven't heard of India Black but will check it out. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Where do you get the books that you review? Is there a site where bloggers can sign up to get free copies of them? Thanks!
