Reading is FUNdamental

Hi all. First of all, who here loves to read? Hands up! *casting a glance around the rooms through the monitor* Ah, I see that there are quite a few of you. Well, good. As you all know, reading is brain food. But, not all reading material is good for the brain. Unfortunately, those are the kind of books I love. LOL. No ‘self help’ books or ‘How to do it’ books for me. I want good, no knowledge learned, books with hopefully a lot of smut. Now don’t shake your heads at me. You know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you agree with me even if you wont speak it aloud. Not that I’m saying that good romances and romantic mysteries are NOT brain food, I mean, they do manage to get you to use your brain while trying to figure out what that (good-looking) mysterious stranger is doing with that gun in his backpack along with the most expensive diamond in the world. And what the (usually equally gorgeous) Fem Fatale is going to do about getting it back. Sigh, such is the world of the literature. Such strife!

LOL…anyway. I have a list of my favorite authors. If you haven’t read any of them I HIGHLY recommend them.

Lori Avacato’s books with her heroine, Pauline Sokol is a Medical fraud investigator who seems to get into a lot of trouble usually caused by the mysterious Jagger.

Stephanie Bond’s books are very sexy and have a lot of humor.

Jill Churchill’s heroine, Jane Jeffry is a mother and an reluctant amateur sleuth to the chagrin of her officer boyfriend Mel Van Dyne. (This author also responds to emails personally).

Janet Evanovich’s heroine is the enjoyable Stephanie Plum whose work as a Bounty Hunter is riveted with mirth and multi exploding cars and one grandmother that is hilarious. Not to mention two hunks vying for her attention.

Monica Ferris’s books center on Betsy Devonshire, the owner of Crewel World, a knitting/crocheting store. She also is a reluctant sleuth that gets caught up in murder mysteries.

Earlene Fowler’s, Benny Harper books are one of my favorites. She is a Cowgirl/Museum Curator who finds trouble her way almost daily. And she has a sexy husband, Gabe Ortiz. Not to mention the police man named Hud that seems to have his eyes on her.

Sue Grafton’s ABC books are a favorite, although they only come out once a year. Kinsey Millhone is a respectable PI but has a heart of gold.

Vicki Lewis Thompson’s Nerd books are hilarious. Her stories centers around one nerd that is usually a hunk in disguise. Check out her books. I promise you will love them. (This author also responds to her emails personally).

Debbie Macomber’s books usually have different characters but some are based on a certain area or family. A fun read as well.

Well there you have it. Now, that’s just a short list of my favorite authors. Now…go feed your brain. I’m sure they are hungry.

Blessed be

Red/Sue
