Me? Hard. All the way. Mint chocolate chip. Rocky Road. Almond Joy. And on a sugar cone! But really, if it's ice cream, I'll eat it.

IMO, soft serve is overrated, but my family loves it. In fact, my daughter puts her ice cream in a bowl and stirs it until it's soup. No, she's not four. She's seventeen. How crazy is she?!

How do you like your ice cream?

Okay, on to book news. Thank you to all who made the release of A Thousand Sunsets a success! It makes me happy to hear how much readers have fallen in love with not only heart-melting Owen but his little sister as well.

Here's what readers are saying about it:

"Marianne Rice has struck gold again. The second book in the Band of Sisters series, A Thousand Sunsets, was a beautiful, fun, and easy read with the fabulous characters Ms. Rice is known for creating."

"The author did an amazing job with all the characters and it appears she put her heart and soul into the story."

"As always, Ms. Rice does not shy away from difficult situations and I like that life isn’t perfect for everyone involved, but it is real. Now I’m anxious to see who’s next. Skye or Gina? I know it’ll be worth the wait."

Happy summer and happy reading, my friends!
