Usually I have a hard time with the lack of page numbers and characterization but when a novella follows a book I loved, it turns into a little treat and holds me over till the next full release<br /><br />june111(at)att(dot)netJolene and Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430221887990969543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279470947629596019.post-89832164700022263832012-08-15T22:58:34.720-04:002012-08-15T22:58:34.720-04:00I like novellas because they're a quick, but s...I like novellas because they're a quick, but satisfying read. It's a great way to showcase more minor characters in a series so they get their story told, and maybe introduce the series characters to new readers.<br /><br />Barbed1951 at aol dot comBarbara E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10042665559975481397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279470947629596019.post-13066621306321544072012-08-15T22:39:56.753-04:002012-08-15T22:39:56.753-04:00I like novellas, especially when they are part of ...I like novellas, especially when they are part of a series that I love (like this one, lol).

To be able to read more of low lying characters in stories or to be able to understand a main character in a book better is always a plus and can give not only the reader more room of the understanding but I think it can enhance the Author to be able to make a series go further. <br /><br />The short stories are just as you said something that you can read in a day. I love my books with a glass of wine and a quiet house. With two children this happens late in the evening and having a husband that enjoys the quiet as much as I do really helps. <br /><br />Btw, Lovers Instict was amazing and it was great to know more about Ana's cousins family as they lost Alicia and in the first book the tragedy really made you want to know more about her family!! <br /><br />Thanks for all you do and giving mommys the nice break we need sometimes :)!A Day in the Life https://www.blogger.com/profile/12758992390856973579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279470947629596019.post-81068172439329009622012-08-15T11:48:22.914-04:002012-08-15T11:48:22.914-04:00I discovered Novellas in the past year and love th...I discovered Novellas in the past year and love them. Especially when you just learn about a series and you can read several novellas in at once (like the Bound series by Cynthia Eden)! I did purchase Lover's Instinct and am looking forward to reading that after I finish the longer book I am reading now. It does give you a quick fix!

I also like them because it makes it feel like I am not having to wait the whole 6 mths to a year for the next book in the series to come out. Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway! Can't wait to read both =)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566060168480473613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279470947629596019.post-851538437171691732012-08-15T09:57:11.256-04:002012-08-15T09:57:11.256-04:00I love novellas.

I also love anthologies because it gives you a chance to check out other authors without having to purchase a full-length book. Novellas are also cheaper and give you a chance to check out a new-to-you author. In novellas it is usually the in-between story. I like them because sometimes in 2nd or 3rd books their is always time missing. Usually the timeline is 6 months to a year later. Loved the first book of this series. Can't wait to read the novella and the 2nd book. Thanks for the great giveaway.<br />christinebails@yahoo.comChrisbailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211119853890993337noreply@blogger.com
