Subject: I can't afford to buy ebooks - I buy used books a lot- and I use 40-50% coupons at borders for brand new ones- I'm a bit miffed because my favorite bookstore closed and buying books just got more expensive. As for nook and kindle- I prefer the old black and white nook and played with the new b&W nook yesterday- you can share with your friends - a big plus

now my reads - I'm a romantic fiction person - a new author has hit the NYT list with her series, Emily March - loved book one and two - book three was too women's fiction woe is me for my taste - but I look forward to more from her. Sherryl Woods has just put out her latest trilogy in her chesapeake stories - I'm waiting to find book 3 used then read all three at once. I'm always waiting for the next installments from Robyn Carr and Susan Mallery. for me Susan Wiggs is hit or miss - -- chris k, 06:41:56 06/05/11 Sun [1]

This is my "cup of tea" too! All the ones you mentioned are favorites of mine. I have, but haven't yet read, the third Emily March book--I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't sound as good as the first two. Have you noticed that the earlier books by several of those authors are much less interesting, too...well, maybe formulaic is the word I want. (inside) -- Deemus, 11:23:22 06/05/11 Sun [1]
I love Robyn Carr's books, and most of Sherryl Woods' also. Some of her earlier ones are less engrossing. Have you tried any recent ones by Debbie Macomber? I love the Cedar Grove series--10 of them already! Another author that I have found quite good is Toni Blake. Her books--the ones I've read so far--are set in the small town of Destiny, Ohio.
Our local recycle center has a good-sized area for book swap, and I've gotten a number of decent reads there. The price is certainly right, and I don't feel bad if I read 10 pages and decide it's not to my taste. Also, I was given a Kindle for my birthday back in February--total surprise!--and I've had a good time with that.
Happy summer reading!

you'll be happy to know Robyn Carr has something like a 27 book contract so she'll be pumping them out 3 a year for a while! Toni Blake I read one & liked it, read another & didn't - can't remember why- I don't read Debbie Macomber - sometimes she throws a lot of people at you & skims through their stories and I hate that so I stopped reading her Sherryl Woods tends to do a lot of pissed off lost love is back - not my favorite formula but she's a good writer. I also loved Catherine Anderson but she only writes 1 book a yr now & her most recent series hasn't been as good as her last. Inside -- chris k, 19:16:46 06/05/11 Sun [1]
I also like Joann Ross - she's gone back to writing small town stories after a few years of writing romantic thrillers. Her last one was okay, her next one comes out in July. I'm expecting it to be better as she gets back into the swing of writing small town.
I picked up a Mariah Stewart- another romantic suspense author who is returning to her small town fiction roots - her first book was pretty good. I was happy to find her - the second wasn't so great and I hated the third- she should probably go back to suspense

oh - there's an author whose name I forget but all her books are titled SEALed - I think there's three or four. They're considered romance - and all have a SEAL as a hero - but they're a nice read if you find one cheap. -- chris k, 19:17:50 06/05/11 Sun [1]

Thanks, chris. That's great news about Robyn Carr--I inhale her books whenever I find new ones! The Virgin River series is great, but so are her single-book stories (House on Olive Street, Summer in Sonoma...if I remember those titles correctly). I have read a couple of Catherine Anderson books, and I liked them. Thanks for the suggestion of Joann Ross--I'll try to find one by her. I have now read quite a few Sherryl Woods, even the earlier ones, because they've been cheap on Kindle. -- Deemus, who LOVES to talk books!, 15:19:20 06/06/11 Mon [1]
