I read quite a bit and of course have my favorite authors and such, but I'm very interested in what all you readers out there consider your favorites. I like mysteries, thrillers, science fiction on occasion, but I'm absolutely open to all genres. Guess I've said enough. Can't wait to 'hear' what you have to 'say'. :icon_wink:

The Spirits of Cimbri, Attack on Cimbri, and The Flames of Cimbri on Amazon.com, Like "Game of Thrones" and "The Three Musketeers rolled into one. Strong personal stories and outstanding battle scenes. Each is a stand alone , but each follows one another

If you're looking for for a different interesting read, then"Chasing Shadows", by Ron Miller at Amazon.con. Great historical murder/mystery with an unusual twist. High drama and surprise ending.

I think the poster meant STEPHANIE PLUM. Author is Janet Evanovich. Book #28 will be out in the Fall.

It’s the Stephanie Plum series …the Author is Janet Evanovich

TesaA 07-14-2021 11:55 AM

For a fun read ... mindless entertainment, Janet Evanovich series featuring Stephanie Plum. Fairly comical with a bit of mystery and suspense thrown in.

Serious mystery but not gruesome, books by Louise Penney regarding Inspector Gamache. New one is coming out in August. I have read all the existing ones.

TesaA 07-14-2021 12:03 PM

Yes, it is Janet Evanovich the author and Stephanie Plum the character. Book number 28 is arriving November 8.

I was going to say the same thing. It was such an interesting insight to the history of Florida.

I would recommend “Requiem For The Dead” by Victor Alvarez. This is a military murder mystery thriller written in the same manner of James Patterson and Tom Clancy. He has another even more intriguing book with the same characters being released in September called “The Theseus Conspiracy.”

“Love Wins” by Rob Bell . . . . . . short quick read that will have a profound and lasting affect on your life.
