MARCH'S BOOKS


These are the books I read in March. Some pretty good nonfiction, some poetry (which I don't usually read), and a really bad romance. Tara Taylor Quinn's "Merry Christmas, Babies" is the story of a beautiful, successful businesswoman who is artificially inseminated and becomes pregnant with quadruplets. Unbelievable as this may be, the most off-putting part of the book is when she has hot, wild sex well-along in her pregnancy with her business partner--up til this point they had not been romantically involved. What WAS the author thinking?
