TNBBC Super Mod, 7/6/10, 9:01 AM: Hi Beth - I think it is great that you are spotlighting PA authors, I am a fellow PA'er as well!

You don't seem to have Almost Dead on your list, and I think you really must add it! I dubbed it as the The Next Best Book!

mountie9, 7/6/10, 1:23 PM: ok, going through my site for all the harper perennials I have done so far, working on 5 more by them over the next month too. Hopefully I am doing this right ; )

mountie9, 7/16/10, 3:13 PM: Oops just put a HarperCollins one in
Margie, 7/19/10, 5:38 PM: I was so happy to see Moonflower Vine on this list - we rediscovered it at our bookstore in 2009, and it's been very well received by our book clubs ever since. As you can see from my review, I loved it!

dog eared copy, 1/14/12, 11:30 AM: I posted a review to a Harper Perennial title, Caribou Island, though it should be noted that I listened to an audiobook edition of the title. Still, the substance of the review is in regard to the book itself, with only a small paragraph regarding the narration.
