I am so excited Ms. Barnett is here!
I love Ms. Barnett because when I'm reading her books I get carried away and feel like I'm part of the story. My favorite of her books is Sentimental Journey, it was my first JB book and I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with all of the characters. I've passed it on to several other people!
Love you're answers. George Clooney *sigh* I love him too!
I can't wait to see the rest of your interview!

Oh I love Jill Barnett! :D
I love Jill. My favorite book of hers is Dreaming. I love Richard! And of course Hellion, LOL. Jill makes me laugh and cry at the same time, and her stories never fail to touch me.
Looking forward to the interview!

Grey's Anatomy - great show, good taste, Ms. Barnett!
I have Ms. Barnett's Bewitching and Wicked on a reccomendation from Miss Harlot. I have yet to read them because my TBR pile is so huge and I'm currently studying for a competition. I'm definitely going to read Bewitching first!
7/03/2006 11:21:00 AM
Linka, i looove BEWITCHING. :D It's my fave Barnett book. And please, call me Harlot. Miss Harlot.. *gosh* :P
JB's book always make me laugh. Then after a while, they'll make me cry--but a good cry, you know the one you have when a story really gets to you. I love her witty dialogues and her oh so delightful characters. Not to mention their pets! LOL
7/03/2006 12:10:00 PM
I have never read any of her books.... but i'm interested... i love books, love free stuff.... love ice cream, Grey's Anatomy, sunglasses, george clooney, baby powder, and as weird as it is Gregory Peck.... now give me free books please..... :-)
7/03/2006 01:09:00 PM
I too have yet to read Jill Barnett. But I remember Harlot and Trollop recommending her books before. I'll definitely try Bewitching. :)
7/03/2006 01:13:00 PM
Jill is a wonderful and funny author.
Bewitching is my all time favorite.
I'm so glad she is back.

I too have yet to read Ms. Barnett. But I looked Bewitching up at Amazon (since everyone seems to love it) and I'll definitely be getting that one. :)
Looking forward to the interview!
7/03/2006 01:32:00 PM
I too love Jill Barnett. Wicked is my favorite. JB has always been an autobuy author for me. It's been so long since her last book and she's sorely missed. Really glad she's back. :)
7/03/2006 02:29:00 PM
I;ve yet to read Any of her books....but I'd like to start. Obviously, as I'm going to win this comp (NOT) I'll start with The days of summer and move on from there!
7/03/2006 03:11:00 PM
I bought The Days of Summer last month. It was recommended to me by Amazon. Now I'm thinking I should move it up from my pile.
7/03/2006 03:49:00 PM
I haven't read any of Jill's books either, though they certainly look interesting!
7/03/2006 04:40:00 PM
I absolutely, positive adore Mrs. Barnett and her books. Waited for The Days of Summer forever; it couldn't come out fast enough for me!
I read it and loved it. Whoever wins it is in for a treat! =)

I love Jill Barnett's book because they take me out of my couch and bring me inside the pages. Suddenly, it's not me flipping pages. It's me riding a horse, making an ass about myself with a guy I have a crush with making him fall off his horse.
It's about me receiving a most exciting kiss from a guy who'd realized he couldn't possibly live without me.
That's what Jill Barnett's book does to me. I have all of her books, both in original publication and the re-release. Love it! I don't think I can get rid of her book...I'd always want to have my JB collection in hand.
7/03/2006 05:03:00 PM
Oh I read the interview first before I saw this post. So basically will just repeat what I said on the other thread. LOL
I will definitely try Jill's books. I don't know yet which one I should start with. Any recs? I would love to win the book though. :P
7/03/2006 05:51:00 PM
Fried okra. That is weird. Love that! LOL
Did I mention I love Grey's Anatomy? I'm so waiting for the third season, the last one was really good. :D
7/03/2006 05:53:00 PM
Oooh, I LOVE GREY'S ANATOMY!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 3RD SEASON!!!
LOL Sorry. :P I remember that time I almost killed my PC for downloading GA episodes because I couldn't wait--at the time they've been only showing Season 1 here when Season 2 was already over at the US! Grrr...
Oh, did i mention i love this show? :P
7/03/2006 07:59:00 PM
I love Grey's Anatomy! Harlot, I think third season is coming this mid-September. You should write an article about it. ;)
7/03/2006 09:33:00 PM
Can I still join even if I already have a copy? LOL Great read! Very lucky whoever it is who will get the book.
Oh alright. I'm not joining. Don't want to be selfish. LOL. I would just like to say, for those who have yet to read Jill Barnett, also try her Wonderful, Wild, Wicked series. Really funny! :D
7/03/2006 10:58:00 PM
I haven't read any Ms. Barnett's books but I have heard from people (other than this site) that Bewitching is an excellent book and I should read it. Maybe that'll be the next book I pick up at the bookstore, unless of course I win this book and can start reading it right away! :)
Pick me!!!!! :)

Thanks for choosing my favorite author for your blog (and for the numerous reminders to come over here and read it). I really appreciate it. I think it was a good interview.
My sentimental favorite is Dreaming, but my favorite is Sentimental Journey.
I would say I love her because of the characters. Yes, the books are funny and quirky and unique, but I really loved those moments where the characters are real, generally the scenes where they're the lowest which probably says something about me. :) I love to see characters suffer for their happy ending.
I really liked The Days of Summer. California definitely played its own character. It's definitely different and had a lot of things going against it for me, but I ended up loving it. I also find the more I talk about it, the more I discover. It's just a book with a lot of layers and a little bit of everything. I love how nothing is wasted in a JB book. Everything has a purpose, every word is placed there for a reason.
