I think she has 6 planned all together in the series.<BR/><BR/>Cindy--My mom keeps her salt in one of those little tins by the stove. LOL about the flour on the french toast. That raw flour taste wouldn't add much, would it?!<BR/>I think Eloisa James is very accessible - and really funny too. Don't be scared off!<BR/><BR/>Nath--Give DD a try sometime. I really liked it. And then if you do like it, you won't have to wait to read the next in the series! :)<BR/><BR/>Zeek--The cover is really pretty. But the stepback is horrendous. I was thinking of pasting my cover down to the stepback so I wouldn't ever have to look at it again. Or X-acto knife it out. ;)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-6784361030984653662007-11-27T07:54:00.000-05:002007-11-27T07:54:00.000-05:00Great review Jennie :D just too bad you posted thi...Great review Jennie :D just too bad you posted this after i bought the book LOL :) I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about these books (I have DD, but haven't read it yet either). ah well :)<BR/><BR/>LOL on the salt instead of sugar... but I actually liked salty more than sweet, so I would probably have ate your pie and not notice the difference LOL :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-31798365891695569272007-11-27T01:13:00.000-05:002007-11-27T01:13:00.000-05:00I've done the salt thing and then I sprinkled flou...I've done the salt thing and then I sprinkled flour on everyones french toast instead of icing sugar. I then sat and asked stuff like 'isn't it great with the sugar?' and they all said 'yes'. It was only when I went to eat mine that I scrunched up my nose and said 'this doesn't taste right'. Bob looks over and realizes I have brought out the flour canister instead of the icing sugar - everyone was too nice to say anything about their french toast. Goobers ;) (we have glass canisters without any labels - I can normally tell from the sight if it's sugar or flour but oooops!)<BR/><BR/>I haven't decided if I want to read James yet - I have it in my head that her books would be too high brow for me. Weird for sure.<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-25776555705394792562007-11-26T23:40:00.000-05:002007-11-26T23:40:00.000-05:00I have Desperate Duchesses, but I got about halfwa...I have Desperate Duchesses, but I got about halfway through before I quit reading it. Not that it was bad. I just wasn't in the mood for it ~ and haven't been since. I usually love Eloisa James, so I'll be retrying it again sometime (hopefully soon). But I'm going to wait before I buy this one, just to see how I like DD first.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719293114461054932noreply@blogger.com
