Top reads of 2005
This year, like every year, we’ve read many books. Now, contrary to others who will lie and make up politically correct lines like: “It’s been so difficult to choose favorites out of so many wonderful pieces of literature, but we really had to try,” or, “It’s taken us the better part of a month and many a sleepless night to pick our top reads, yada yada yada...” we’ll tell you the truth.
Most books we read this year were so FREAKING BAD, there were times when jumping out the window—from a tenth floor—into a bed of thorns!—was a better option than continuing to read such garbage. Anyway these are our favorites*:
Bawdy Babe:
The Handy Man - Linda Nichols

The Lightkeeper - Susan Wiggs
Phantom Waltz - Catherine Anderson
Match Me If You Can - Susan Elizabeth Phillips

The Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling
Bet Me - Jennifer Crusie

The Devil to Pay - Liz Carlyle
Deadly Promise - Brenda Joyce
