A Famous Author

Until now I had never read a Nora Roberts book. When I worked at the library though, I think she had the most shelf space of any author. I may be exaggerating, but honestly I can't think of another that took up as much space as she did. So I thought I needed to add a book or series of hers to my list. I saw the bride on the cover of Vision in White and thought that would be a good one if I felt like I needed to read a Nora Roberts book. A friend saw it on my list and thought I would like the series as well.

I happened to be reading this a couple weekends ago while visiting my mom. She saw the book and asked if I liked the author and explained she had always heard the books read like romance novels. I hoped she was wrong as that is just not a genre I enjoy. She was kinda right though. Not entirely I guess, but to some extent it was more or less. I guess the best description is that it is a very well written romance novel. It's not all bedroom scenes and thesaurus overuse. I am going to go ahead also and read the rest of the series, though I expect they will all be sappy romanticy novels. Oh well, I now need to know what happens to the other three women. Series is clearly unrealistic and all, but right now that is just fine by me.

Current Read: Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham
