My Sunshine (Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan, No 6) :: Catherine Anderson

The only reason this is on my shelf is because it is a duplicate, I already have a copy for my keeper shelf. In fact, I pick up every book of hers I can find. She writes such touching romances, and the characters are deep and complex and always unique. Both her contemporary and historicals are usually western themed and they're all very good.

My favorite would have to be Morning Comes Softly by Debbie Macomber (mine has a different cover).  This is a second copy, or it wouldn't be listed.  Actually, this is a third copy.  I used one in a swap.

This is tough, because several of the Young Adult novels I have on my shelf are really good...but I'm going to say my favorite is "Bonita Faye" by Margaret Moseley.  I started it, thinking it was a cozy mystery, but it turned out to be so much more!  It was funny, sad, touching, and I hated to see it end!

I loved so many of the books it's hard to pick just one.

One of my favorites is Open Season by Linda Howard.  This has some very funny parts and you really love the characters.

It would have to be Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos.  This book was an accidental read for me, I found it in an office swap library, and could not believe how much I adored it once I got into it--I was actually suprised I'd never heard of it.

It's the story of two women, both strong in different ways, one older, one younger, who do not know each other but come to.  And as they do get to know each other, pieces of the past of the older one are revealed--tantalizing pieces, turns out she has unique Nazi/WWII pieces in her past--and the depth of need that each has for the other's strength becomes clear.  The title is both metaphorical and literal, and becomes obvious as you become engrossed in the story.  It is absolutely a unique story, and I love the strong female characters, and how they serve as yin to the other's yang.

I do not understand why this book wasn't a literary darling or bestseller--I can't recommend it enough.

I have The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown.  It is my favorite on my list and was so happy that I kept it to share with others on this site.

I would have to say the Deirdre Martin "Blades" series.  It was recommended to me by someone here at PBS and I LOVE them.  I can't wait for the next one to come out this fall.

Hard to choose. SM Stirling Conquistador, and the Aubrey-Maturin series dups I have listed: Master and Commander, and the Thirteen Gun Salute (unabridged). I got into the Aubrey-Maturin books from a love of Jane Austen. I loved it so well I bought all of them on unabridged audio and the hardback collection. I thnk Patrick O'Brian does for the men of the era what Austen did for the more domestic side. I ended up buying all the companion volumes as well.

Hands down my favorite on my bookshelf is The Court of the Lion by Eleanor Cooney. It is a historical fiction novel that vividly depicts the downfall of the T'ang dynasty in 9th century China. WONDERFUL book!
