Wow! What a great haul! Kathleen E. Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers were my favorite authors many years ago when I was a teen and were a couple of the original historical romance authors. You can't go wrong with them. Love your videos.
Great book haul. Remember a lot of the old school books have only a few ratings on Goodreads as there was no Goodreads when a lot of them came out and a lot of people don't go back and add their old books so if the number of ratings is low it may just be because of that. Enjoy.
The fact that you use your laptop instead of your phone to look up the goodreads ratings is adorable. I own Petals on the Wind! I bought it randomly on ebay. I have that exact edition, too. OMG! I read that as "The Savage Sally", too! XD
I ordered a mystery box but for contemporary romance which is currently my favorite. (I used to be a big historical romance reader.) You can't go wrong with Ashes in the Wind by Woodiwiss, so don't hold back reading it. I also really liked her book Shanna which is set during the American colonial period. Have you watched Poldark on PBS? Even if you have, it's worth it to get the original books by Winston Graham (the first seven books) because the books are so, so much richer than the TV show.
North and South by John Jakes.. I remember my mom reading that when I was a kid. haha! And I think the mini series has Patrick Swayze in it? Haha! That is in great condition.
Dark angel, petals on the river, Heather Graham, I own one, Rosemary Rodgers, one of my old favorites, Heather wrote a series of the civil war, all those books are great and those titles and author I read their books. Awesome 👏
I read the first book in the civil war trilogy by Heather Graham and really loved it! Cant wait to read more. Good to know the other books are old favorites too. :)
Melissa! You had such an awesome haul with this mystery box! So happy for you! I can't wait to see what you'll think of Pastora and Liberty Tavern! I loved the cover and back for The Circling Years too! 🤩It was so much fun to see what book they gave you every time you picked one up! I'm glad they nailed your tastes better this time lol! 😂This was a lot fun! I hope you have a blast with these! 🎉
A long time ago I was a huge historical romance fan. Back then I read one Kathleen Woodiwiss book and it has turned out to be one of my favorite books of all time. Not sure why I didn't read more by her! Please check out her book A Rose in Winter. Such a great book!
I started with Kathleen in 1970 era with the flame and the Rose, Shanna and the wolf and the Dove. Kathleen passed away in 2008. I really mourn her. She do so many woman happy and she is the mother of historical romance. Worthy my love😍💗🌹
Back Bay by William Martin was soooooo good, that's a 2018 re-print it's an older book, it's actually part of a series - 5 other books. You need to pick up Cape Cod by the same author...more historical fictional-Mayflower era. He's written many books, all very good! Fun watching you open the mystery box - those books were in great condition, so fun looking at all the old covers.
Loved the video as always! I love that North and South cover, I’m excited to read that this year! U should have your husband on your Channel and do like a favorite book tag or something of that sort!
a great haul. Glad you got one of the Rosemary Rogers one, not sure if I read that one I did read Dark Angel, I don't remember what it was about, but I'm sure it was good also thanks for sharing where you got those books, may try a box myself
I’ve been looking forward to this, it was like Christmas presents being pulled out of the box. The Rich Are Different is part of a two book saga about the Van Zale family with Sins of the Fathers. Don’t be put off by the mistress thing, I don’t like that either but loved this book. Dark Angel was also good but enjoyed Destiny more
