Have a seat, let's talk about what we're reading over a cup of coffee...

Although some of the books I've listed may appear rather "high brow," I often choose books from the NY Times list, mainly to see what people are reading. As a rule, I try not to read too many books from the same genre I write. It's sort of like the person who works in landscape. His or her own lawn usually looks like crap. I want to read something DIFFERENT from what I'm writing; it's my way of taking a break.

One of Charlotte's all-time favorite authors, Ann B. Ross, who writes the Miss Julia series, has a brand new book coming out April 1, 2008, titled MISS JULIA PAINTS THE TOWN, Viking Books. The book is guaranteed to bring many smiles and warm feelings! To learn more, visit Ann's site at annbross.com.

Other books to mention

  • I've ready and enjoyed many Jodi Picoult books.
  • I've read all the books in the Mitford series by Jan Karon
  • I've just ordered the news release HOME TO HOLLY SPRINGS.
  • I've read all the books in the Miss Julia series by Ann Ross. Can't wait for the next one to come out in late March.
  • I plan to read the "Elvis" series by Peggy Webb. Although Peggy Webb's books are similar to my genre, her style is so different. While she's funny, her writing is lyrical. I am always green with envy that Peggy is able to come up with such cool titles: DRIVING ME CRAZY, CONFESSIONS OF A NOT-SO-DEAD LIBIDO, and THE SECRET GODDESS CODE. Of course, Peggy is NEVER able to help me out when I need a good title.
  • I love Lisa Jackson, but I usually have to sleep with the bathroom light on because she scares me to death!

I'd love to know what other people are reading!
