I used to read Romance Novels by authors like Debbie Macomber, Nora Roberts, Fern Michaels & Sandra Brown. Hubby & boys started teasing me about all the "mushy" stuff in the books. So I swetched to murder mysteries, legal thrillers & espionage. They hadn't noticed I'd switched for a few months. One day hubby sarcastically asked if it was a good book I was reading. My reply "Yes! I'm only a quarter of the way through, and there are 4 dead people already!" The look on his face was priceless. They don't bug me any more.
Some of my favorite authors are Rachel Butler, Suzanne Brockmann, Kate Wilhelm, Robert Ludlum & Iris Johanson.
Just starting a book by Lisa Jackson called "Lost Souls". The prologue was "interesting" - we'll see how far I get.
What are you reading? Who are your favorite authors? I need some new reading material.
the last book i read started out really good...then turned all weird...aliens weird....so i put it down. since then ive only been reading like self help and math books...(i am not a nerd!)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better really than a good book? That is my sleeping pill...and yes the better the book the faster I seem to fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteI also like Nora Roberts, especially her Irish Trilogies. If you want some good intrique books you need to try David Baldacci, James Patterson, John Grisham,and for a light fun read try Janet Evanovich Number series. They are a fast ready but you will fall in love with the with them...especially of Cop (her off and on again boyfriend and a really hunky PI named Ranger..they are mystries but funny and some sex thrown in..
I really need to start reading again (of course I'd have to find time first, LOL).
ReplyDeleteI am reading a John Grisham book right now. It is called "Playing for Pizza." It is pretty good so far. I will be giving it away on my blog as soon as I finish it.
ReplyDeleteI went through an Anne Rivers Siddons phase a few years back...I also have read every single Mary Higgins Clark book.
I've been re-reading books by Jeffrey Archer lately! Give him a try for something a little different.
ReplyDeleteBut, I prefer audio-books so I can keep crafting while someone else reads to me.
The Romance authors you listed are some of my favorites too. I've broadened lately and really enjoy James Patterson.
ReplyDeleteYay a fellow bookworm! :D Truly, is there anything better than a good book? They can transport you anywhere you want to go! Lovely blog post!
ReplyDeleteI love reading so much, I have even figured out a way to knit while I read!
ReplyDeleteI don't read as many thrillers as I used to, but I'm still quite a fan of James Grippando...
(there might be only one p in that...I'm not a good speller)
I am so far behind in my reading. I am currently reading a Kay Hooper novel..love her books. I also try to ready everything by James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Iris Johansen and I enjoy Jodi Picoult. I thoroughly enjoy most of Nora Roberts' books - she is the only "romance" author I read.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading the first three books in the Stephanie Plum Bounty Hunter series by Janet Evonovich. I have read all 14 of them starting backwards. If you want a good chuckle with the same main characters, try reading this series. It is very popular. I saved Plum Crazy for last. I have just started "Bones" by Jonathan Kellerman. Also like anything by Lisa Scottoline.

My friend let me borrow her copy of Angels and Demons. I already read (and loved) Da Vinci Code. And the movie version of Angels and Demons will be released May 15, 2009. I usually like to read the book, before I see the movie. I also think the book will probably be better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteI love murder mysteries. Those are pretty much all I read, with a few exceptions. James Patterson is great. My guy makes fun of me because once I start reading a book I can't seem to put it down until it's done, forgetting about everything else.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know I have tagged you with the KReATIV Bloggers Award. Check out my blog for the rules...Have fun with it..
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I'm not reading anything but look at a stack of books and magazines I've yet to read. I'm a slow reader but retain pretty well what I read.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fiction reader. When I read books, they are mostly biographies and autobiographies.
I love reading, fiction mostly, I'm not really into auto/biographies. I'm just about to start 'The Hour I First Believed' by Wally Lamb. I've read his previous two books and enjoyed them immensely.
ReplyDeleteAnother author whose work I like is Jennifer Crusie. 'Welcome To Temptation' was fantastic...lots of laughs and a great read >^..^<
I enjoy reading Janet Evanovich, Stephen King, Jeffery Deaver, just finished MaryJane Clark-Nowhere to Run,and will be starting new author Toronto's Robert Rotenberg-Old City Hall
