I love seeing Woodiwiss name appear. Amazing story teller. I like heroines who are smart and manage to survive. The hero is more interesting when he isn't an all around nice guy. Good heart, but a little edge I guess is my thing. I hope you all enjoy Aaron and Charlotte's story. It was fun to write. I'm just very focused at the moment on what makes a book stand out from the mass of good books out there. You all gave me more info to ponder.

Diane, that's a very cool thing to share books. No matter what a person's situation, reading can often provide a wonderful escape. If you had to pick one all time favorite, what would it be?

So we can add thought provoking and mystery to the list. I love how different things appeal to different people. I still think for me if I had to narrow it down, it's characterization and a character's ability to surprise. They remain in character, yet I can't always predict how they are going to react. I love those moments in a story.

Sounds like different things appeal to different readers. Characterization, dialogue, feel good, true to life, funny.

Thanks for commenting. All great elements. Keep 'em coming.

My friend Vicki Batman sent me this email:

Hi, Pam. I have keepers, too. Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux is one I read immediately upon finishing it the first time. All of Janet Evanovich. Open Season by Linda Howard (3 copies). Who can resist a story about a librarian turning a new leaf? I have Shanna. However, in case of a fire, I'd save all my Dick Francis mysteries.

Thanks for blogging. Vicki Batman
