I love a enjoyable love story without alot of icky details on how they kissed etc, but them to have issues that a normal couple would have. I loved Linore's first two books as I think she had such a great balance there. In the second one, when Ariana is messing up the house....I loved it!! It was fun, but real. <br />I am looking forward to the third book!! <br />martha(at)lclink(dot)comMartha A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02426112535240400393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-22857148201898720522010-01-02T02:45:24.572-08:002010-01-02T02:45:24.572-08:00Wonderful interview!
When I sit down with a book,...Wonderful interview!<br /><br />When I sit down with a book, I hope that I'll be drawn into the characters' lives and emotions, that I'll feel what they're feeling and lose myself in the story. I like some heart-wrenching emotion but I don't like to immerse myself in a book and then find that the subject matter is really depressing. No problem there with your books, Linore. :-) In general, I like fun and entertaining but some realistic emotion as well. <br /><br />The love interest is a big thing for me, too. I want to know why these two people love each other, and I don't want to just be told. The best love stories I've come across have been so amazing because there was some strong emotion between the two and I see why she can't help but fall in love with him (or he with her). I've never really thought about this before so hopefully it comes across fairly clearly. lol <br /><br />♥ Lindsey<br />kindredspiritreviews at gmail dot comJaedynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182768230864374602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-22446954378806207372010-01-01T19:54:06.968-08:002010-01-01T19:54:06.968-08:00What a great interview!

(and I love to play Nancy Drew pc games ^_^)<br /><br />Generally, when I sit down to read a new book, I'm looking for some kind of really strong emotional pull/connection, to give my brain a vacation from the 'normal' things in my life...then of course, it never hurts to be entertained. I especially enjoyed the exchanges between Ariana and Philip when they first met. ^_^ <br /><br />scarletsierra at gmail dot comSara Harricharanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050427684753490067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-395009636014347942010-01-01T17:53:06.213-08:002010-01-01T17:53:06.213-08:00Hi everyone!
Thank you all for telling us what you...Hi everyone!<br />Thank you all for telling us what you most look for in a book. Your responses ranged from entertainment to realism to inspiration to "sizzling romance." I'd say that's a tall order for sure, and it shows what intelligent and varied people make up any one author's readership. <br /><br />I do try to cover those bases, so to speak, when I write a book. I want enough realism to transport a reader and make the story matter, but I love to add a humorous touch, and of course, the "God moments." <br /><br />Thanks for the kind words, those of you who mentioned having read my work in the past, and if you don't win a book from Shirley this time, follow my blog tour for many more chances! <br /><br />I can't wait to hear how you enjoy The Country House Courtship. ANd I look forward to sending someone on this list a free book soon!<br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />LinoreLinore Rose Burkard, Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927467483596900030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-29860849829400349552010-01-01T16:28:11.067-08:002010-01-01T16:28:11.067-08:00I look for a good story line, but it must contain ...I look for a good story line, but it must contain spiritual truths to take away and apply. <br /><br />desertrose5173 at gmail dot comLindahttp://www.onedesertrose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-20766663839157334172010-01-01T14:32:15.686-08:002010-01-01T14:32:15.686-08:00Hi, Shirley and Linore! I've read all three bo...Hi, Shirley and Linore! I've read all three books, and they're fabulous! Linore is an awesome writer.<br /><br />I think I most look for, when I open a book, an entertaining story. Whether it's insightful, funny, or thought-provoking, as long as it entertains me and keeps me interested and reading, and isn't too heavy with disaster and crisis, I'm happy. Although, this is a pretty tall order! I often read a few pages and then set a book aside and never get back to it. But I can't really say what one thing it is I look for. I like historical romance, but I also love books like Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie.Melanie Dickersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176517296691824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-49708812239053114572010-01-01T13:26:13.518-08:002010-01-01T13:26:13.518-08:00Please enter me in the contest.

And I would say I most look forward to opening a book and getting encouragement and I want the book to be real. I like when an author has done her research and I can take facts from the book. To me that is great. Especially when I am reading a historical book(my favorite type:) or an Amish book.

...Oh boy - One of Linore's books! Count me in.<br /><br />I have a mix of reasons why I pick up a book.<br /><br /> Escapism, definiately. I love to enter another world with these characters and dream with them a bit. Different time periods and situations are a plus.<br /><br /> Inspiration - as an aspiring writer, reading great books inspires me in my writing.<br /><br /> Pure JOY - the fascination of reading, the actual entrance into 'other people's stories' can be pretty amazing.<br /><br />That's just me, though :-)Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771295798003844102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-203863326225121152009-12-29T14:37:24.457-08:002009-12-29T14:37:24.457-08:00Oh pick me!
