Harlequin Books discussion

Hello all,

Let's do something different this year. For each month find books to spell out the month's name using the author's first or last name or the title. If you finish a month and have time for another challenge which may be the case in a short month like May, do a second (or third) challenge using either the hero's name or the heroine's.

All great books. Which one did you enjoy the most?

I think my favorite Accidental Homecoming by Sabrina York because it was heartwarming that Danny found the family he needed in his life. I'm trying to finish August list.

I am too!

I'm trying to decide which language I will use next year. Right now I'm leaning towards French since the Olympics will be in France and I'm a huge fan of the the games. I cheer everyone on. LOL ~ Kim

So am I. I love France! I've been using Duo Lingo. Hopefully I'll get very good at it.

Oh so cool! I know Spanish but I wouldn't say I was fluent in it at all. French was the language my daughter wanted to take in school but I encouraged her to take Spanish because it would look so good on job applications since it is more prevalent in the area than French. Once she got to college, she no longer wanted to take Spanish so for some reason she skipped over French again and took German instead. She lives in Maine now and French may have been more useful with Canada right next door. She really enjoyed German though.

The wonderful Betty Neals! She wrote 134 books with Harlequin. I've read so many of them but not all. You just might be able to do November with just her titles. Good luck! ~ Kim
