However, my reading ventures have taken me into most every genre and I'm pretty certain that Aly will remember the challenge I took to read all the J.D. Robb "In Death" books about 2 years ago. At that time, I think there were 30 books. And then came the J.R. Ward "Black Dagger Brotherhood" challenge. I accepted and completed it as well. I am not a lover of the vampire genre -- but I do love the J.D. Robb "In Death" series. <br /><br />So, if I was approached with this challenge, I would probably make up a little "care" package and add a little of this and a dash of that which would probably include RESCUE ME by you know who! (gotta start with the good stuff RS), Pamela Clare's RIDE THE FIRE, Marie Force's LINE OF SCRIMMAGE (one of my all-time favorite contemporary romances), THE SWEET GUM TREE (Katherine Allred), PERFECT by Judith McNaught, NAKED IN DEATH by J.D. Robb, Laura Moore's IN YOUR EYES, Suzanne Brockmann's HEART THROB, the first book in Robyn Carr's VIRGIN RIVER series, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips' THIS HEART OF MINE and HONEY MOON. <br /><br />And if my care package did the trick, well I would inundate that friend with so many others that she wouldn't know what hit her!!!oklananniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619399949613870109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-79769072840658756812010-12-03T21:13:09.317-06:002010-12-03T21:13:09.317-06:00Wow good question. and i think like some of the o...Wow good question. and i think like some of the other posts it's according to what kind of stuff the person likes...Nora Roberts is good.

I've heard so much about this series and I think I may be one of the the last romance readers on earth who hasn't read them yet. Everyone seems to love them.<br /><br />Crystal, I remember recommending Judith McNaught's Paradise to a woman once who'd never read a romance. She quit in the middle and called it tedious. LOL I was insulted. It just wasn't her cup of tea (so to speak) but I was astounded that she didn't love that book. It's one of my favorites, by one of my favorite authors. Sigh...to each her own.<br /><br />Hey, Elke! Missed you yesterday, but wow, bet you were cold. Glad you got the heat fixed. Definitely the wrong time of year for that to be out. Hope you enjoy your reread of RESCUE ME!<br />And you named authors I would definitely recommend too. Hope your mom got out of the hospital and is feeling better!<br /><br />Ronlyn, I have never read KMM. What would you suggest I start with? And thank you so much! You just gave me an idea for tomorrow's question! (:<br /><br />Bianca, thank you so much for recommending me to Tina! Oh, Nicholas Sparks will definitely bring some tears. When I worked at Borders, I had people ask for recommendations for books that would make them cry (for some reason). Anyway, I'd always take them to his books. They were always happy, if tearful, campers. (:<br />And I've read NR Public Secrets. Great book!<br /><br />Jennifer, thank you! And I've not read JR Ward either.

I think, along with Judith McNaught's, I recommended Linda Howard more than any other author when I was working at Borders. They were the two authors that I'd read everything they'd published (at least twice) and I felt like an expert. (: <br /><br />Heather, that's so cool to have an actual experience.

I am not always in the mood for RS, so I go to my cowboy guys, in that case, I would recommend Linda Lael Miller's Creeds & McKettrick's series. If I just wanted her to read a good "fluff" book, I REALLY enjoyed Jill Shalvis' Simply Irresistible. But, for RS, I would recommend series of 3 of my top favs Christy Reece LCR books, Dee Davis' A-Tac series and Cindy Gerard's BOI series...for starters lol.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857512146760238016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-60781138802415912332010-12-03T11:16:15.012-06:002010-12-03T11:16:15.012-06:00I actually had this happen recently.
