Books I’m Loving Right Now

Like all of you—if you are here reading my blog—you love to read. I remember back in the day, when romance novels were Harlequin Romance—then some decades later Danielle Steel appeared on the scene—then a few years later, we got Fabio style contemporary romance covers—who can forget the guy with the long blond hair blowing in the wind (on every cover), as he “embraced” the beautiful woman with the long hair—you remember that woman—the one whose big breasts were popping out of her evening gown—in front of a mansion usually. I’m laughing as I type…

Then of course my taste changed and I started in with Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and eventually James Patterson, creator of the Alex Cross series of books—how I loved them and I only bought them in hardcover—to this day when I go to thrift stores, I always go to the books—and scour looking for hard covers—to this day James Patterson is one of my favorite authors.

Now while I love contemporary romance—again I am finding my taste is being drawn to the mafia romances—LJ Shen and Ana Huang have become two of my favorites.

A book that I happen to come across today was The Wallflower by Francesca Black. What grabbed me was the cover and when I read the blurb, I thought I have got to read this book.

These stories, characters, and themes have kept me inspired while working on my own books. I’ll share more recommendations and my newsletters as my website nears completion.

Happy reading, and more book recommendations coming soon.
