How did I get to be so cool, you might be asking? Well, it's pretty simple. I contacted the author and asked to read and review her new book, The Replacement Wife. I know, pretty complicated process, huh? I've been a fan of hers for many years. More years than I even knew about or can count since she not only has written many bestsellers, but she had a hand in the popular Sweet Valley High books that I read growing up.
Anyway, my little slice of heaven arrived last week in the mail. But...I was so sick last week, I couldn't even think of reading. Plus, I didn't want to get sick on the new shiny book. Also, I don't like putting a book down once I start. Think of watching a movie over a week span and pausing it 20 times before the end, it's not the same, is it? Same with me and books. Yesterday, I had the chance to finally dig in. I'm on page 80 or so and it's hard to put down...yay! :)
I shared this news on my personal Facebook last week, and had a few questions about Eileen Goudge's book(s). What's her writing style, etc. Here's my professional quote (hehe), "Eileen Gouge writes women's fiction, her books are solid reads that grab you on the first page and have a feel good ending."
Look for my full review coming soon. Want to know some of her best books? Leave me a comment and I'll share some of my favorites. I've read many of her books 2 or 3 times each...
P.S. Be sure to follow Eileen Goudge on Twitter and me, Wylie Mom on Twitter.

That sure brings back memories. I read the Sweet Valley High series too growing up. What are some of her other books that she has written? Looking forward to the review, the title sounds interested.
A few of my favorites are, Garden of Lies (her first adult novel) and it's sequel, Thorns of Truth. I've just loaned those 2 to my mom. Also, One Last Dance is awesome, I've read it many times!! It's really hard to go wrong with her...
