What is your favorite genre? (genre that you read the most) - Recommend a book!
This is a hard one because there are a couple genre's I just adore. I think what I'll do is state all of them and then recommend one from each genre.
Thriller/Myster- Hands down, the queen of this genre is Tami Hoag. I first read her book when I was in high school and I was instantly hooked. I highly recommend Ashes to Ashes, the first book of hers I read.
Romance - While I love a good romance by Ms. Hoag, the keeper of all things romance for me is Catherine Coulter. I love love love her Bride series so I highly suggest you start with The Sherbrooke Bride.
Paranormal - Now this is way harder for me, I love so many books in this genre and so many authors.Unlike the other two where I kind of stick to just a couple authors, the PNR world I branch out all the time. I also find that I get hooked on an author and then by their 9th or 10th book I'm just worn out and don't find them as good as the originals. I know previously I talked about Richelle Mead on one of the other posts and I think I'm going to have to stick with her. I've read two of her series so far and I have never had that diminishing enjoyment with her works. I would recommend the Georgina Kincaid series and Succubus Blues is book one.
What books would you recommend for me to read?
I'm going to check out Tami Hoag and Richelle Mead. I've not heard of them.

Thank you for stopping by! Will check yours out.
DeleteI haven't read Catherine Coulter. She's on my must read lists though.
ReplyDeleteStop by my post. Your book is featured on there ;)
CANT wait to read your review. I liked your Bligh post. Only book I had heard of was mine though lol
DeleteI don't usually read mysteries; the only writer I like in that genre is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. As for romance, I do have several writers, and have been meaning to start on Catherine Coulter, but just haven't gotten around to her... As for PNR, oh, I have many favorites! I want to read Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series, and have several of the books, but again....haven't gotten around to it...AND I want to read your book, "Blood Purple"!! Middle Eastern vamps sounds like a great variation on the vampire mythos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! :)
Do you like ebooks or print? You should emaial me at Ashley@ashleynemer.com and ill have a little surprise waiting for you.
DeleteHey, Ashley!
DeleteI DEFINITELY prefer print books!!! I just can't stand the thought of reading an ENTIRE book on a screen.... To me a REAL book is one that I can hold in my hands. To be honest, I'd MUCH rather pay for a print book than get a free e-book. Oh, YEAH!!
Thanks for commenting back on my blog!! I have just ordered "Blood Purple" from Amazon, by the way -- in paperback, of course!! :)
It let you order it early?? How crazy I hadn't put it into distribution yet, LOL Hmmmm haha. Well lucky you. The second book comes out on July 3rd. Once you read the first one you will want the second.
DeleteI love print books BUT I have no more room in my house for them. My Kindle Fire is my best friend, I love it's easy access to all my books.
I love Thriller/Mystery and Paranormal, will definitely be checking out the books you recommended :)

Thanks for stopping by, hope you come back again!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. You have a good answer. I like mystery but not paranormal. I used to read romance.

Mystery was my first true book love. I adore the worlds that can be created with a good murder investigation.
DeleteI've read some Tami Hoag - pretty fun, suspenseful, quick reads! Like your recs! Glad I'm not the only one that couldn't bring it down to one genre! :)
ReplyDeleteNo idea how people can just love ONE genre, I have way to many books in my life to narrow it down like that.
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I love hearing what others have on their lists bc no one ever has the same thing and so many good new things to check out!
ReplyDeleteFollowing back :)
Thanks for the follow...You know, I have found on some of these hops Harry Potter, LOTR and Twilight are popular answers. I always get excited when there are new ones showing up.
DeleteWow, I haven't read Tami Hoag or Catherine Coulter since high school myself.
ReplyDeleteFor a Thriller/Mystery, you might like Linda Fairstein. She writes a series of books about a New York City Special Victims Unit ADA, which she herself was once upon a time. Awesome series because it is so accurate. Called the Alexandra Cooper series.
Funnily enough Richelle Mead is one of the few "big name" PNR writers that I haven't read. Something just keeps holding me back from picking up her books.
OOOO I love the sound of Linda Fairstein, I will keep that in mind!! I really loved Richelle Mead's series I have read, I know she writes a more popular one than the ones I listed I just don't have the time to invest in a new series when I am trying to focus on my own writings. Thanks for stopping by.
