I am going on vacation next month and the one thing I always looking forward to is reading a good book. On a ten day vacation I'll read 2-3 books. Have you read anything good? What did you like about it?

Depends on what genre you like (action with smut, archeology mysteries, a good horror, a nice period romance) I could have recommendations for any...I am an avid reader with a home library approaching 800 books:blushing: , this is my weakness!!!0

Authors I like. Robert McGammon, Andrew Vaachs, Lee Child, Robert Crais
My wife likes Robert Crais, Jonathan Kellerman, Faye Kellerman.
We both just finished James Paterson's "Women's Murder Club" Novels. I think #1 thru #8 are out in paperback.
Not knowing what your tastes run towards, it's hard to suggest a book. All the above have great skills and recurring protagonists that you will like. Except Vaachs. He's very dark. All these authors will be in your local used book store.0 -

Read it. Attended the classes. Followed the concept to become debt free several years ago, but seriously would not recommend while relaxing on vacation.0 -

I so love when book threads pop up, always get reminded of my favorite authors that I've set aside for a bit and new ones as well from suggestions!
Thanks Mike!:flowerforyou:0 -
I absolutely love historical romances! One of the best series I ever read was the Series about the beginnings of our wonderful country..by John Jakes, the first book is The *kitten*. It follows one family line from a *kitten* birth in England to his part in the beginnings of the American revolution. The family series continues through the Civil War. You can probably get the whole series on eBay at a good price. I read the entire series during one summer:)

I guess I should've clarified my taste-no vampires, nothing like Nicholas Sparks that will make me cry at the end (I don't mind touching stories of personal strength and survival, just no mushy romance). I like historical fiction I guess, feel good non-fiction. I like books set in other places/periods. I also like a good mystery.0

My wife and I, along with our daughters are avid readers. I go through at least 2 a week and Jan goes through 1 or 2. We both go back and forth about authors. She brings a lot of books home from her work for me to read. I have a hard time with women authors. Don't shoot me! Not being a chauvinist. It's just the perspective. Men and women think differently. We both love the Kellermans. If you like them, Becca, thry Robert Crais and John Sandford. Both have strong recurring characters like the Kellerman books. Robert Crais has a series with the characters Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. They are my wife's favorites.0 -
anything by Anne Rice is amazing!0

Hi Nikki! Here are some of the best that I've read with genre descriptions attached:
1. 'Drowning Ruth' by Christina Schwarz
This is a drama/mystery set in the 1920's. Extremely good with the most satisfying ending ever!
2. 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie
A period murder mystery set in England. Extremely good as well.
3. 'Sleeping Murder' by Agatha Christie
Another period murder set in England. Excellent!0 -
For all those looking to make a change in their life, health and wealth ....... The slight edge by jeff olsen ..... read it and re-read it again and again !0

bump to catch up on this later today:flowerforyou:0

This is a tough one. The wife and I demolish a lot of books. But we're morally opposed to owning books in most cases...that's what the library is for.
I'm pretty eclectic in my reading. A lot of westerns: Louis L'Amour, William Johnstone, and JA Johnstone. Spy/suspence novels: Lee Child, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Jack Higgins, Dale Brown etc. Gen Fiction: Harlan Coben, Dean Koontz, Nelson DeMille, and of course John Grisham..I have read everything he has written.0 -
Anything by Ellen Hopkins, she's such a lovely writer and her books are just amazing. I can't even choose a favorite they're all so good, definitely look into her!0

Any of Harlen Cobens books, his books are fanastic. Crime Thrillers would best describe. Has anyone read his books? You literally cannot put them down. I also absolutely love Jackie Collins if you fancy a light-hearted, fun read. Shes's not to everyones tastes i know but personally I love her books.0
