Looking at my stats for the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge, I felt I needed to search out a few books in my TBR pile to read to knock out a couple of prompts. The one that stumped me was "a book published the year you were born" - 1979 here I come! GoodReads had a list of the top 200 books published that year.....wow is all I can say. Some of those titles....yeah. So you have Stephen King and Anne Rice, Janette Oke (Christian author), Kathleen Woodwiss and VC Andrews (yep, that book was published in 1979) - those are just the authors off the top of my head.
Reading further down the list, I came upon Silver Storm by Cythnia Wright. It sounded familiar so I checked my TBR spreadsheet (yeah, I needed one to keep track of what is still waiting to be read....) and there it was (at the bottom, because I organized it according to the author's last name). Score! Bodice ripper from the late 1970s means this is going to be the highlight of my summer reading (I am planning on reading it on my birthday which is in August) or going to be the worst. reading. ever. The original cover is so totally old skool romance.
