That certainly looks like a magical place, kareni! When I saw its in NY, I was like great! something in my state! Then I saw it's nearly 4 hours away from me I wish I was closer. Oh well. Maybe I can find a magical bookstore closer to me where I can find the early works of Lisa Kleypas that I've been hunting for.
Josie , now I'm curious to know which LK books you are hunting.
Regards, Kareni
I'm looking for her early books. Where Passion Leads and Give Me Tonight are two of her first books. They are going for hundreds of dollars online but I can't justify those prices. LK said she would never rerelease those books because her writing has changed. But that isn't stopping people for wanting to have them. I'm also looking for these books that have the stepback or bodice ripper covers: Because You're Mine, Midnight Angel, Prince of Dreams, Dreaming of You, Then Came you and Suddenly You. I have copies of these books but not with original covers. I can't even search using the ISBN because they are the same for each cover. It makes it frustrating I have looked on eBay but, once again, too expensive.
Wow, I thought I read all of Kleypas books and didn't know there was a time traveling one! Kareni, that book store looks amazing.
I was just reading about the new Kindle Scribe that comes with a pen to write on. Comes out Nov 30th for $330(US). It sounds like more than I need and expensive but interesting.
Josie, I hope you'll find the books. I searched and found that I'd read one of the books in 2015. At that point I said, "Today I read Lisa Kleypas' Where Passion Leads which is, I believe, the author's earliest book. It's an old school romance in that the hero rapes the heroine within the first few pages. I suspect that the author would make different choices today. Lisa Kleypas is a favorite author of mine, so it was interesting to read one of her early works."

I hope so too, kareni. Where Passion Leads was her very first book. She wrote it during a time where the h getting raped was written about a lot, even it was by the H. I can certainly see why she wouldn't want her readers to read it. If only I was interested in Historical romances when it was released. But I was only 6 years old when it came out She's one of my favorite Historical writers and I just want to see how her writing changed. As for the others I'm looking for, I love stepbacks and bodice ripper covers. I wish books had covers/stepbacks like those again.
I have several LK Books and more than happy to ship them to you. Need to go through my bookcase packed three rows deep and (usually in alpha order-LOL) see what titles I have. I believe I can ship them as "mass media". I have many published many yrs ago that I purchased @very low prices in fantastic used book stores here in Maryland. Ironically one of the best places for great used bk stores is in the city of Columbia, Maryland built and developed in 1967 where I lived for many years. I have all 1st published of many popular authors and have no desire to sell them on line. I would rather give them to someone on this website to enjoy. I'll message you with my list and then you can decide if you want me to send them to you.
Here comes the sun even though I love that rainy day feeling!
I was reading an article yesterday about random acts of kindness, and I'd say you just performed one.
There are many (900 or so) wonderful comments after the article about Random Acts of Kindness. (The comment section is actually better than the article!)

Really! I would be very happy to take you up on that offer! Thank you so much
