What books did you find in your mailbox
(or couldn't resist purchasing) last week??

Top 10 Books on My Wishlist...

Monday has rolled around again...and that means that it's time to share the Top 10 Books on My Wishlist for this week. If you didn't get a chance to join us last week ~ here's how it works:

~ Look thru all of your wishlists (I'm sure you have more than one...just like me!)
~ Decide which 10 you're really wanting ~ at least for this week *grin*
~ Come back and post them in your comment...or better yet...create a post on your blog, linking back to me, and post your link here
~ You can list books from any genre ~ It doesn't matter if they are: already available for purchase, newly released, coming soon, etc.
~ If you have a book(s) on someone's WL that you're willing to get rid of...let them know... they may be willing to swap for something on your WL...I know I would!!
~ I've added a button in my sidebar, please take it with you, if you're inclined to do so...

I'm hoping this meme will help everyone find books to add to their own Wishlist, but to also allow others to see what books you want, so maybe they can help you get them. Kinda like my own personal swap site...in a way... By getting book lovers together, and sharing the books we most want, maybe we can help each other out. I would love to know what books you're looking for, so I can try to help you find them.

My Top 10 Books for this week are (in no particular order):

Angel's Peak :: Robyn Carr
Forbidden Falls :: Robyn Carr
Moonlight Road :: Robyn Carr
Never the Bride :: Rene Gutterridge
One True Love (Belles of Timber Creek, Bk 3) :: Lori Copeland

Do you enjoy Mysteries, Fiction, Romance, Suspense, Historical, Paranormal, Erotica, Horror, Young Adult, Non-Fiction? Whatever your preference, please share your Top 10 Books on your Wishlist for this week. As always ~ thanks for dropping in! =)

My Favorite Cover

This week I thought I'd give you ladies a thrill! Isn't he just yummy?!?!?

Here's my choice:

He's No Prince Charming
by LuAnn McLane

Newly released on:
Oct. 6, 2009







Product Description
At sixteen, Dakota Dunn was America's Pop Princess. Now twenty-five, she's all grown up-and definitely washed up. She decides to head to her parents' lakefront retreat in Tennessee, fixing to write songs and transform her image from squeaky clean to kickin' country.

Turns out her folks have handed things over to sexy, if cranky, cowboy Trace Coleman-a former bull riding champion benched by injuries. He's none too happy about Dakota's arrival-and makes no secret of it. But though Trace is rough around the edges, Dakota feels a pull of attraction she can't quite shake. For all his brooding, Trace has an animal magnetism that may just lead Dakota to dig in her heels and hold on tight...

I can't wait to read this book ~ I'm partial to cowboy romances! *sigh*
