Connie,
I enjoyed your post. I have a keeper shelf too. Some do make me cry, some laugh, some both (I really like those) and some I just can’t put down. I have not read your keepers, but Cry No More and Rangoon jumped at me. Will have to give those a try. Thanks.

Connie,
It’s a good thing everyone has different favorites, that way more books can be successful. I love Jude Deveraux and Linda Howard. I haven’t read “Cry No More” but I agree with the title.

I like books about strong women who succeed despite insurmountable odds–whether or not they end up with the guy. Which probably explains why I am not yet published as a romance writer, LOL!

My reading choices change with my mood. Sometimes I like western historicals, sometimes contemporary, sometimes rom-com or a mystery. I even like gritty policy procedurals and some YA’s. It just occurred to me that my movie watching is much the same way.

Hubby enjoys The Walking Dead. I don’t get it, but then again he doesn’t like some of my shows either. To each his(or her) own.

Debby, thanks for understanding my passion when it comes to The Walking Dead. I love the show and will definitely have to plan a trip to Senoia.

Debby-

I really liked Linda Castillo’s first book. And yes if the book is good (not great), I find myself falling into critique mode.

Pam, have you been to Senoia when they’re shooting The Walking Dead? A couple of guys in my area have been on the show…one is a regular. It’s fun to hear the stories he tells about the set and cast.

Hi Connie!
Great post today. I’m a suspense fan. Loved reading Linda Castillo’s SWORN TO SILENCE. She pulled me in from the first line.

Anyone notice how we start to read like an editor the longer we’re on this writing journey? It’s not often a book transports me to another place and I can forget I’m in this industry as well. Usually I’m thinking, “Interesting how he/she (think author) included that action tag or described that character.”

With Linda’s book, I was 100% reader.

Get over it! Brad Pitt was not nominated. As far as The Walking Dead… Ah…no!

Tamara-

I’d forgotten the Outlander series. The characters are what I remember. In fact, I mentioned James Malcolm Alexander McKenzie Frasier in my post last month.
