Book Board Chat

Paula - Not long ago I ran out of things to read in our small town library, so the librarian recommended the Robyn Carr Virgin River series. It seemed as if I had tried her books before and didn't like them, but I checked out three this time because I needed something to read. Surprisingly, this time I read them all and kept going back for more. Unfortunately the series ran out and now I'm waiting for new ones. Maybe because it's a different time in my life, or something like that, but I found them to be pleasant, stress-free reads even thought every one of them was predictable. They all seemed to be so cheerful and for the first time in all my years of reading, I felt like I was reading for escape. I didn't even mind the the boatload of stuff about babies although I don't usually care for that. Another library in a nearby county seems to stock a lot of fiction by British women authors and I have liked several of those (although their names escape me at the moment). Although I always liked Nora Roberts, I just can't get into any of the J.D. Robbs. I wanted to like them, but just can't, probably because of the futuristic stuff. I wish I liked the mystery authors, but don't care for any of them. It sure would give me a lot more to read.
