Sandra, Hello and welcome!
| Since I'm new to these parts I was just wondering if ya'll wouldn't | mind telling me what your favorite books and/or authors are? | Personally, I have enjoyed every LaVyrle Spencer book I ever read. She writes what I call a "meaty romance" -- yeah, it's a romance, but not a bodice-ripper, and the stories have real depth to them. Even her "not the best thing she ever wrote" books are pretty darn good. I haven't read much Elizabeth Berg, but she is also excellent. If you enjoy gentle meandering stories, try the Mitford books by Jan Karon (_At Home in Mitford_ is the first one, I think). I _loved_ those. One of the characters dies later in the series and I cried like a baby (but they're not generally sad books). Recently I read and enjoyed _The Persian Pickle Club_ by Sandra Dallas, _The Secret Life of Bees_ by Sue Monk Kidd, and _Lucky_ (but the author's name escapes me -- it's a hard book to read but worth it). For mysteries: I also like the Stephanie Plum series (by Janet Evanovich) and the A-B-C books (the Kinsey Milhone series by Sue Grafton) a whole lot. YMMV, of course. Hope this helps!
