Karen Scott’s Tuesday interview is with… you guessed it… Catherine Anderson. Check it out!
wendy The Super_Librarian (not to be confused with the regular ones 😉 )recently posted a review for Summer Breeze. And since we generally agree on good westerns, or at least I agree with her, this has been placed high on the tbr pile.
So we know how wendy feels about CA and avid reader has a view or two. How about you?
Like her? Hate her? Eh about her? Have some rec’s for me?
What works for you and what doesn’t?
I quite like her older stuff and many are keepers but starting with Baby Love IMO she started a downward sugar overload induced spiral and I can’t read her anymore. So for rec’s – Annie’s Song is wonderful, Simply Love, Keegan’s Lady & Cherish are my faves.
I am like horrified that my comments are not showing up on the main page (not that I could ever do anything about it, really) but that’s all been fixed at my new blog. Anyho- I loved Annie’s Song when I first read it. I remember having to get over two things: 1) the heroine’s very young age and 2) heroine being mute. At first I thought the heroine was mentally challenged, but then she was just mute and had some baggage of her own to deal with. Could I read this book today? Probably not.
new blog????
where be?
Yea – What Sybil asked?
Cherish is buried in my keeper stash, and was my first read by Anderson. I loved the fact that the religious heroine has a crisis of faith.
Annie’s Song – eh. I know I’m in the minority here, but the heroine just about got on my last nerve. Yes, I know she’s a deaf/mute – but she was so shockingly naive that I wanted to tear my hair out. Oh, don’t get me wrong – Anderson gives you reasons why the girl is soooo naive – but I still wanted to throttle her at times.
Simple Love and Keegan’s Lady are buried in my TBR somewhere…..
I’m not sure what I think of Catherine Anderson. I know that there have been times when I have liked her, but I also know that I’ve thought she was a bit corny too. When you pick up a Catherine Anderson, you know you are going to get a really sappy read (for the most part). I usually pick up her books when there isn’t much else out there, and I know I’m in the mood for something full of sap. I do know that I rate her higher than I would Diana Palmer or Connie Mason. She’s somwhere in that middle land of authors that I can take in small doses.
Ladies, I’ll send you the link shortly. Promise. [fingers crossed]
