Re: Manuscript Critique
Day 7
I’m running out of comments. What can I say but… I really would like someone who has experience to read my book and give me their thoughts on it.
Jennifer Hayward
You are entered 🙂 No worries!
Pammie R.
I am pretty sure that I have read several of the authors listed above. The problem is matching them to the right books. I just read. I don’t always pay attention to the authors of what I read. I should, but when I get to reading, I often forget to make note.

erinf1
I love Darynda Jones!!! thanks for sharing 🙂
Teresa Warner
There are a lot of authors that I have read and many new ones!
Crystal
Well actually I don’t have a favorite yet as all the authors listed here with paperback books are new to me. My favorite books are signed books by any author. I like to judge each book by reading it at least once. After that, I find it easier to weed the ones out but if I rate a book anywhere from 4-5 stars then there’s a good chance I’ll read the book again and who knows maybe the author would be another one of my favorite authors. Personally, I would love to win, read and yes even review signed print book or any book. Never tried audiobooks before as they are to expensive for me to buy.
I hope I win a signed book.
Melissa Greco
Actually, all of these authors are new to me. I look forward to learning more about them.
Ginger Connatser

I am familiar with most of the authors, if some are only in passing. Giveaway #1 and #2 are from favorite authors, Carolyn Brown and Lisa Kleypas. I enjoyed Brown’s Second Chance at Sunflower Ranch,The PMS Club, and Lucky In Love is on my TBR shelf. I have read more of Lisa Kleypas’ books. A Wallflower Christmas, Married By Morning, Only With Your Love, are some I have read and there are several on my TBR shelf.
Giveaway #3 by Samantha Young is interesting. She is a new tome author, but the books are intriguing. The other author I like is Anna J. Stewart. Most of the other authors area bit more “something” than I usually read.
flchen1
A couple favorites include Lisa Kleypas and Erin Nicholas. Devil in Winter is a reread for me, as is just about everything Erin Nicholas has written. Carolyn Brown, Anna J Stewart, and Julie Kenner are also favorites!
