I didn't find a western that called my name. So I went back out to Amazon this morning and grabbed A Wanted Man by Linda Lael Miller. This will be my official read to participate in the giveaway/contest.

I some how missed your entire week. I saw mention of this on Barbara's blog, but for some reason didn't think it had started yet. Crap Crap Crap. I am sorry I missed this and I will now have to go back and read all your previous posts. <br />It is so funny too. I couldn't find a book last week to save my life. I wanted to read one set during the American Civil War, but I wanted it NOW, so it had to be on Kindle or at the UBS. I got a few suggestion on Shelfari. Needless to say I just finished reading The Frasers-Clay by Ana Leigh. I will be posting my review in the coming days. This one didn't satisfy my needs, apparently I still have the bug for HR set on our shores. I am going to dig through my closet and see if I can find another western, since the one I finished didn't really fit the Civil War but was more Western. <br /><br />I love my Cowboys and Indians!!! So when I get an extra few minutes I will not only add my review but will also add the icon to my sidebar and link it back to you!!Heather Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632528059311088701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-42192112551810665482009-08-24T15:59:34.088-04:002009-08-24T15:59:34.088-04:00I love westerns.

That said, I was at the bookstore and immediately started looking for Patricia Potter westerns. They only had rom/susp in stock.<br /><br />I'm sure I have Osborne in the TBR pile so if I can not be entered for that book. <br /><br />My westerns were Johanna Lindsey, Jude Devereaux and then Diana Palmer. So obviously I have not been exposed to the best of the western world. Still, some of those JL's were hot ;)<br /><br />CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-11661087205934263692009-08-23T11:40:37.329-04:002009-08-23T11:40:37.329-04:00Well... lemme see...

I was happy to add to my TBB list and move some books around on my TBR pile. Thanks you!<br /><br />Wonderful selection of books for the prizes. Don't add my name.

Of course once they read her they'll want her back list. :) <br /><br />Maggie Osborne is also one of my favorite western authors.

I'm not sure why - maybe I'm worried I'll have trouble with the way Native people are portrayed?<br />So, to get in the spirit, I'll say that I will try and educate myself and commit to reading a western. If I can't find the funny title you mentioned, I'll go look for something by Kate Bridges.
