I'm a reader, reviewer, and published author at Cobblestone Press. In this blog, I focus mainly on the books I read: primarily romance in almost every subgenre, with the occasional true-crime book thrown in for a little variety.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy preserving my photos through the art of scrapbooking. I also love scented candles, though of course I don't burn them too close to my books or scrapbooking supplies. :) I also enjoy watching A&E programs such as Cold Case Files and American Justice.

Excellent list, Alyssa! I've already added a couple of your books to my TBB list.

I'm still working on mine, I'm afraid. I've already selected my 100 books, but I'm having quite a bit of trouble arranging them in order!

Putting the books in order was definitely the biggest challenge. I have to admit that I got tired of looking at the list. I eventually decided it was as good as it was going to get. :)

Hope you enjoy the books you added to your list.
