"They" don't make it easy 😉

 Here I was reading a Carrie Ann Ryan's novel and what do I read?!:





And Kindle tells me it's a popular emphasis among people that are reading, or read, this book.

Who never...?



 Children like to play a board game named "Guess who". The game is played with two boards full of faces  and with the players secretly choosing one character and then give each other details in order to find out who is the other player character. One will say "with black hair" so you put down all faces who don't have black hair, then the other will say "blue eyes" and you put down the ones without blue eyes and so on... the winner is the one who finds out first who the other player's character is... you get the gist.

After I started hanging out on Nora Roberts' inspired forums and blogs I noticed a pattern of "finding out" who could play Nora's characters... since our prolific writer has several movies made based on her novels, with the last being on Netflix, the bruah is always immense with "nothing like" "how dare they"  because let's face it actors are human whereas readers see Nora characters as someone (more) divine, and Nora knows it:





And I must say I am also guilty of thinking of a person who could be - at least physically - that Nora hero or heroine.

And I decided to share with my visitors who I imagined as The MacGregor:

"I don't have hobbies, I have passions."
Nora Roberts




One of my biggest passions is my garden. I specially
like it in the first hours of the morning. On Autumn? I 
can't even... So much beauty and freshness 🌱💧

"Thank you"






Most of all, he liked the way the townspeople threw themselves into that
weekend, how much they cared, how strong their pride.

His father had told him of the ancient man who, when he himself was a little
boy, had walked creakily down Main Street wearing Confederate gray at an
earlier Memorial Day. One of the last living testaments to the Civil War.

Dead now, as they all were, Devin mused as he glanced over at the memorial in
the town's square. Dead, but not and never forgotten.
At least not in little towns such as these, which had once known the sound of mortar and
rifle fire and the terrible cries of the wounded.
