Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways. She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

  1. Chosen by PC Cast & Kristin Cast is #2 on the NYT Children’s Paperback BSL.

    ETA: Or am I looking at the wrong date and are the Casts #2 for the forthcoming NYT BSL? Ugh, why can’t the lists’ dates coincide?

  2. Did I read it right? The Perfect Wife is #83 on the USA Today list and #1 on the NYT MM list?

    Maybe I did read it right. Since Simply Magic is #103 on the USA Today list and #3 on NYT MM list.

  3. Simply Magic is #33 on NYT MM list, not #3.

  4. Thanks. Have made the changes.

  5. Sugar Daddy is still $19.95? I thought it was a MM release this time around.
