I have not read her previous work but I really enjoyed Girl In Disguise. Greer Macallister is a great storyteller.

I have a copy but haven't read it yet.

I have read this book already myself and I did enjoy it. :)

I read this book a while back but did the audiobook. Bianca Amato is an excellent narrator of the two of the PG books that I have listened to. Her performance mirrors what is done on the television show.

I didn't realize this was one of the book of the week selections. I read this book back in January and it was okay. I found it interesting in parts. I did not know all these facts about the family. I lost interest in some parts. I would definitely read other books by Melanie Benjamin.

I saw the movie and could not bring myself to read the book. I thought that there should be more to the ending. Some of my friends thought that they might leave room for a sequel. Here is my question to those who have read the book in the original format. Did the ending have more of a finality to it?

Same here. I will be reading it but not right away.

Charlene,
You could always visit sites such as Netgalley or Edelweis download a copy for free. You would have to do this in advance and give feedback to the publisher. I understand your frustration. You can also adovocate for more money for libraries so we can carry more copies of the newer book. You could also try checking if you library loans ebooks and put yourself on the list for it there. The wait might be shorter. From someone who works at a library.

I just met Colleen Wednesday. I am looking forward to reading her book.

Becky,

I hear you! I wasn't a fan of Outlander as much as I am a fan of Dragon Fly in Amber.

I have read this book twice. I have also reviewed. It is a loooooooong book! If it seems like a tomb you might want to try the audiofile or book. Davinia Porter narrates it and the rest of the series. I think the TV show is doing a great job of translating the book to the big screen.

I have a copy. Her last novel The Comfort of Lies seemed really gritty to me. Is it true of Accidents of Marriage?

I liked it for the same reasons. I found myself wanting to turn the pages to find out what would happen next. by far the best one of Sarah's yet.

I loved this book!

I have already reviewed this book myself and it is a great read! I am sorry that I don't have the exact link but my blog is Writer's Corner http://www.jenceywrites.blogspot.com

I read this book a while ago. I just didn't love it as much as I had hoped. I wish Randy the best with her new release.

I have read and reviewed one of them The Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyer. I reviewed on my blog Writer's Corner, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Goodreads.

I read this book a while ago and it wasn't one that really appealed to me either. I don't know if the conflict and the setting had anything to do with it or not.

I work for the library system in Dekalb county (Atlanta, Ga). It depends on what your system uses for it's ebooks. We use Overdrive which should be comparable to our collection. Although I work for the library I can't get access to new releases and often end up purchasing them. There is a rule that staff can't have it before patrons.

You could try a reading challenge where you have different ways of making books fit. I am not talking about the goodread challenge where it is how many you read. One where it says something like read a book with a woman on the cover such as Theory of Opposites.
