It also made the RWA, its annual conference and awards that much more exciting - kind of like the movies and Oscars.irisheyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730974733998991144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-20505123508491871472012-07-15T11:39:33.374-04:002012-07-15T11:39:33.374-04:00What a list!

I remember the time distinctly because one of the first books I got from the library was JQ's <i>An Offer From a Gentleman</i>. After reading AOFAG I glommed all of JQ's backlist and then learned how to play the waiting game that is second nature to me now. LOL <br /><br />I will have to say that waiting so long to jump back in was a tremendous benefit in that I had so many great, great books at my disposal immediately. Those first few years I was in reading heaven. The wallbangers were very few and far between.irisheyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730974733998991144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-89398510031252741682012-07-13T18:48:36.232-04:002012-07-13T18:48:36.232-04:00I'd be excited too, regencygirl01.

But I must admit I'm always amazed by those who pack a dozen pairs of shoes, although I always enjoy the shoe pics. :)<br /><br />I think a lot of us were blissfully ignorant about many things in the days before our online circles. I knew about the early RITAs well after the fact when I'd see something in RT or on a book cover. I'm sure we never imagined in those days that someday we'd be on a first name basis with some of the authors we were reading.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-7088699468099487052012-07-13T13:02:21.540-04:002012-07-13T13:02:21.540-04:00I think I have read about 14 of them.

And thanks for the mention!<br /><br />This is like the history of my reading life. At least for the 90s it is. And to think, all that time I was a blissfully ignorant happy reader who had never heard of RWA or a RITA award. I just knew I loved the books and the writers who created them.Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.com
