I’m reading More Than You Know by Penny Vincenzi:
1971
It was nearly over then. By this time tomorrow it would be settled.
I’m only 22 pages in but I think I’ll enjoy this novel. It’s the first by Vincenzi I’ve read. If you’ve read any of her other books do you have a favorite?
This is another author that I’ve meant to read more of. I think I’ve read one book written by Vincenzi – let’s see, it was BEST OF TIMES and I read it in August of 2009. Do I remember anything about it? No. Hmmm…I love the covers on the books, but again that headless woman. LOL
I’m the same way, Kay, with remembering books read longer than a few months ago
I’ll look for Best of Times.
I’ve wondered about this book and will be eager to hear your thoughts. Happy weekend, Mary!
Thanks, Beth. Hope you can enjoy a relaxing weekend.
The Spoils of Time series by VIncenzi is one of my favorite series of all time. The books, in order are: Something Dangerous, Into Temptation, and No Angel. They are terrific, and I couldn’t put them down!
Oooh, thanks, Heather! Writing all these down.
Oh, wow! I love this author, and I have this one on Sparky, my Kindle. Can’t wait to read it.
I think one of my favorites is Almost a Crime, which I read a little while ago. But it’s hard to pick one, since I’ve loved every one!
Enjoy!
Here’s MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
Great opener!
If you love her books, Laurel-Rain, I’m pretty sure I will too! Adding Almost a Crime to my list.
Hi Mary,
I am really intrigued to know what will be over with and settled by this time tomorrow, it sounds a little ominous to me.
I have never really been that tempted by Penny’s books, as they are always such ‘chunksters’. It would be interesting to know if she manages to fill so many pages with good quality material, or if they are quite well-padded with superfluous information.
Enjoy your book and have a good weekend,
Yvonne
At 589 pages this is a chunkster, Yvonne! I’m hoping for a good story to make the pages turn quickly
I haven’t read anything by Penny Vincenzi either, but this one looks good. I will be looking out for your review of it!
I decided to participate in this meme this week – it’s the first time I saw it and it looks like fun!
Have a good weekend!
This is my first week too Kristin!
I have never read this author, but I like the opening sentence. Very intriguing!
I thought so too, Laura. From there the story quickly reverted to1958 so there’s some back story to fill in before we get back to 1971.
I haven’t read her books, but this one looks like it could be very good.
Thanks for sharing the opening on Book Beginnings!
Thanks for hosting, Gillian!
I haven’t read any of her books. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting my blog, Jo!
Great intro…I will waiting for your review. I haven’t read this author!

I loved this one!!!
