I don't remember ever having a tan in the summertime, cause I spent all my time inside reading.  My mother was forever trying to get me to go out and play and finally resorted to having me read outside.  I entered every summer reading contest that I could find and knew what the inside of every library in our city looked like.  I was obessed with series books, and often read things that I was way above for reading levels, just cause of the continuing stories, like The Babysitter's Club.  I have all the ancient Nancy Drew hard cover books that I would search for when going to used book stores, and the Anne of Green Gables series was read and reread constantly.  I was also a speed reader and very bored in school when it came time to read...obviously the first one to hand in book reports, cause I was the first one done reading it. 

I didn't get hooked on romances until I was sixteen or so, had a girlfriend whose house I used to crash at and her mom had a whole collection of them, everyone else would go to sleep and I would stay up to ungodly hours reading her mom's books.

I would still rather read a book over anything other sort of entertainment.

I took my kick in the pants on this one and added more information to my last book review.  I have made a goal to myself to make my March reviews more informative.  Adding the author line within the subject is definitely something simple enough to start doing, and the rest will come with time.  But heh, I don't mind the kick in the pants whenever I get lazy!

I just wanted to let you know that I know where you are coming from.  I will think of your family this weekend, as I am running my kids around to their competitive sports, one is swimming and one is gymnastics.  My hubby and I spend a lot of weekend's not seeing each other, one running in one direction and one running in the other.....but it's all worth it when we see how much they enjoy it!  Hope your kids do well this weekend.

Secret-sensitive - all good reasons why I don't think my life would have been very easy back then.  No matter what time we lived, we would still be us, right?  And I am still an outspoken, stubborn, opinionated woman. 

But on the tough days in this day and age, it's nice to imagine.......plus our modern cowboys are not too shabby to!

Just wanted to add in my tidbit, as a career mom whom works full time, I am often guilt tripping myself about not being home more for my kids and spend many a jealous moment over the SAHM's that I know.  We all make our choices and in the end all our kids will turn out just fine.  But being women......we second guess ourselves, its just what we do.

Maybe this cowboy thing, is a Canadian thing, likely not exclusively though...

I am smack in the middle of the prairies, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  Total city girl though.  Lived in Ottawa for two years when I was little. 

I am a definite cowboy lover too!  Which is funny, because my husband is anything but a cowboy.  I had to twist his arm to go to a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill concert with me.  Diana Palmer's Long Tall Texan books are wonderful! 

 I also think that I was born in the wrong era.  I can totally envision myself in the Wild West.  But as tend to be a very opinionated women, not so sure I would have had a nice easy life!

I whole heartily agree with you.  A simpering female whom only wants a man to take care of her drives me nuts....makes me want to slap her upside the head (sorry brings the violent side out in me).  But on the other side of the coin, the female that doesn't let a man feel like a man doesn't deserve to be in a romance novel.  Maybe by the end of these books the women have had an epiphany and treat their men better, but sometimes its real hard to keep reading until that happens.
