another-story-between-the-pages

I was going through my books to see which ones I might be able to sell for a dime or two. Hard times and all, but I was having a problem. It seemed like each book had it’s own story to tell.

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling…the pages were swollen from water damage. That was the first summer I spent in my apartment. I bought the kids a blow-up pool, gave them free reign with the water-hose–of course, making myself an easy target.

Disappearing Acts by Terry McMillian…I “borrowed” this from my mother. Now that I think about it, I seem to always do that. I’m starting to believe she left them out on purpose…

 Chance by Robert B. Parker…one of the many books my mother and I listened to on tape. Even got my daughter hooked. Weekdays all of us tired, but sitting in the living room gasping, ohhing, awwing with each twist of the story.

Her Secret Treasure by Cindi Myers…Hmm, I’ve been meaning to read that book. Bought it in hopes of becoming a Harlequin Blaze author….

Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts…this book got me through a bad break-up in  ‘03. I spent nights huddled up in a parka and gloves, outside smoking, reading the pages.  I bought it from a Thrift Store across the street from where I used to live–for 59 cents. The first book to make me fall in love with romance.

 Yes, I can tell you the plot. The actual story between the pages, but it’s hard for me to let go of the other one. Or even notes I’ve found in certain books. Selling my books is going to be harder than I thought.

What books do you own that have other stories between the pages? *And if you can, tell me about the book that made you fall in love with romance.*
