Help! I'm looking for a good book to read.. I feel like I cant find anything good.. My sister is a big Norah Roberts fan, so she keeps telling me to read
one of her books but I'm not sure which one to read.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated..

OMG!! Nora Roberts is sooo good! I can't remember which one of hers I read first. Any of hers are really good. Although I will have to say any books of
hers before the 80's was too much Harlequin-like. Any of her trilogies are awesome. I really enjoyed her Irish trilogy, Blue Dahlia trilogy and the Key
trilogies.
James Patterson is another good author. He is a little mystery/thriller author. |

Okay, I'm not a big Nora Roberts fan (my well intentioned sister sent me a big box of NR a couple of years ago, bless her misguided heart), but I thought
Sanctuary was pretty good.
What kind of book are you looking for? I'd recommend The Witness by Sandra Brown if you are looking for suspense/romance. (This one is superior to the rest of her books.) My latest fav is Straight Man by Richard Russo. I guess it is light humor/coming of age(middle age, that is)...loved it. Umm, if none of our ideas hit the spot, let us know and we'll try to come up with some more. |

Jodi Picoult is another wonderful book. Controversial books, imo. I really enjoyed Plain Truth.

I'm a pretty big Nora Roberts fan myself so II think any books by her would be a good start but my favorite ones were Vision In White, which is about a
wedding photographer and has some drama of her own, and Northern Lights which was an unexpected love story in Alaska. But it really depends on your taste in
books.

I haven't heard about Vision In White by NR. Is it new? You know, she has her own website.

Well, what sort of books have you enjoyed in the past. I could recommend any number of books, but we should get a feel first for what you like.

I read Nora Roberts book Northern Lights. It was pretty good. I just found out that they making it into a movie.. so you might be able to check out her writing
style from the movie.. I'll probably check it out to compare the two. Here's the info if you're interested:

I'm reading The Whole Truth by David Baldacci, it's not bad. I finished Simple Genius not long ago by the same author and
decided to try him again.

mydogjake,
My favorite of Baldacci's is Last Man Standing. I really enjoyed another of his about the President-have to come back to let you know. It was Absolute Power I think Simple Genius is the third with those characters... Yes, the first with Sean King and Michele Maxwell is Split Second and the second is The Hour Game. Hi, justdecent. Nice to have you here.

Great tip about the movie... Did anyone else check it out?? What did you think??? I liked the it. I dont think it was like the book, but Nora's books are
rich with information and excitement, and you could not fit everything into the two hours. But overall I enjoyed watching the movie.

Argg I missed it. I didn't read this thread until now, if not I would of set my Tivo. I've read a lot of NR books, I think she's amazing. What do
you mean by "movie Tribute"? Are they making more ?

I saw midnight bayou on lifetime and really enjoyed Jerry O'Connell acting in this movie! Granted it might be the best movie but i thought so!
