Do you have a favorite author? A favorite genre? I do have a favorite genre, but I don't have a favorite author. I have many favorite authors. I have been enjoying mysteries written by Donna Andrews and Jessica Beck. Donna Andrews is great for improving your vocabulary and her stories are fun. From the names (like "Some Like it Hawk"), to fun things that seem to happen in the stories. Jessica Beck writes mysteries revolving around a donut shop. Another favorite author is James Patterson, I really enjoy the Women's Murder Club mysteries. Recently, on FB, I saw a list of 15 books that he recommends for reading. I thought I might like to look and read some of them, best place to save the list....here!
