Hi! We are finally having summer weather in the Fall! Just finished reading “Conquistadora” by Esmeralda Santiago. A fantastic novel with a background of Puerto Rican History. A powerful and colorful novel alive with passionate characters and the drama of the islands history.
There are so many wonderful writers that i enjoy and recommend so I’ll just list a few: Maeve Binchy, Catherine Coulter, Bette Bao Lord, Lisa See, Anita Shreve, Isabel Allende, Tami Hoag, Ann Tyler, and Ann Rivers Siddons. These are some of the women whose writings I enjoy.
And then there many men who write that I enjoy – so here are a few:- Walter Mosley, James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Jonathan Kellerman, John Lescroart, and David Balducci.
I could fill pages of authors that I enjoy but I’m sure all of you can, too! HAPPY READING !

Hi Thelma,
Interesting contrast between the women writers and the men whose writings you enjoy. The men are all mystery or thriller authors, unlike the women. I wonder if that means anything (or nothing)!
Add Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Elizabeth Berg to that wonderful list!
