Linda Hurst


Linda Hurst possesses a large TBR pile and reads an average of a book a day. Linda decided to review books to share with others books that she really enjoyed. Linda's favorite books are humorous romances and romantic suspense (hopefully with a soupcon of humor thrown in). As you can see from her picture, she is a BIG John DeSalvo fan and many books with him on the cover have magically made their way into her TBR pile.
