She'll also be doing an interview with me.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

When I look back at how I rated books over the last few years, young hero/heroines earned my highest scores: "The Scent of Lilacs" by Ann H. Gabhart, "Saving Sailor" by Renee Riva, "William Henry Is a Fine Name" by Cathy Gohlke, and, of course, "Chasing Lilacs" by Carla Stewart. I even wrote Carla a note, begging for a sequel!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691366747122379190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-62127359495580812722012-02-17T19:57:01.860-05:002012-02-17T19:57:01.860-05:00Hi Jen - I went through quite a few tissues.

There aren't enough books written with characters in my age range. <br /><br />Hi Dena - I also like reading that age range.<br /><br />Hi Sassy - I like both the flower and the fragrance. :)<br /><br />Hi Kathi - Thanks for stopping by. I loved how this character grew and matured.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.
