Happy Dog Dance:
Jennifer B, blogger reviewer at Don't Talk Just Read, gave Virtually His a thumbs up. Okay, I'm going to be bigheaded and say that she gave VHIS TWO snaps and a sexy J with virtual reality whip cream on the side ;-). Thank you, Jen!

I enjoyed our game yesterday so much, I'm doing it again today. Quickly, write down several scenes from books that you reread when the mood strikes you.
1) When Johnny Keir, after refusing to stop his woman's wedding to another, AND after a hard night of drinking, quietly asked how many men they could spare, and his friend murmured, "It's about damn time" in Susan Johnson's OUTLAW. The whole scene afterwards with three hundred Scots on horses riding hard to disrupt the wedding and Johnny steals his woman back. Le sigh.
2) When Webb realized Roanna smiled for the first time (and then started counting her smiles through the book) in La Linda's SHADES OF TWILIGHT. Le double sigh.
3) When Ransom went down on his proud knees at the dock, begging Jane to turn away from the departing ship in Christina Dodd's THAT SCANDALOUS EVENING. I love to reread that passage where Jane thought of freedom...and art...and being bohemian in Italy....
4) Elizabeth Lowell's To The End Of The Earth--all the parts with Cat determinedly trying to keep from losing her baby and at the end, when Danver, realizes what scum he was while he cares for the catatonic Cat. Wahhhhhh Wahhhhh, I still shed buckets over those scenes.
So many great scenes! And no matter how I explain it to my guys, they never ever get the "rereading" thing, even though one of them can repeat the dialogue of stupid scenes in movies over and over. Bah.
