I carried all my library books back today. I hope the books I checked out today will be more interesting than the last ones. Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors. I hope I found a book of hers I haven’t read. The Book of Two Ways, the title doesn’t look familiar so if I find I’ve read it, I should enjoy reading it again. I also found a book by Jan Karon, another favorite author. The title is, In the Company of Others. I’m almost sure I haven’t read it. I also checked out a book by Flannery O’Conner. I know I’ve read all her books but I’ll enjoy reading it again. What are you reading this week and who are your favorite authors?

I’ve always liked her Father Tim stories, the little village they live in and all the neighbors.

I am reading a book from my favorite Italian author "Giorgio Faletti", the title of the book is "I am God" and it has nothing to do with religion.

I have just started another Kids' book by a famous Indian author of Anglo-Indian origin Ruskin Bond. I will share more in one of my coming posts. So is the genre you are following is Romantic, Family, or some other complex inter-personal relationship type?

The book by Jan Karon is about about a country priest and his wife’s travels in Ireland. It’s a novel.

I'm reading No Second Chance by Harlan Coben. There is a french tv show based on the book. I watched it a few weeks ago. My favorite authors are Steve Berry, Sue Grafton, Amanda Foody, Kent Wayne, Stephen King, and Kylie Chan. I also like Jennifer Givhan.

I've become a fan of Jodi Picoult too and love how she does such deep research into whatever she is writing about. Jojo Moyes is another favourite author.

@RubyHawk It's called The Giver of Stars and that would have to be my Jojo Moyes favourite too. It's a really lovely story.

Jojo Moyes is another of my favorites. I’ve liked all her books but my favorite was the book about early Appalachia . I don’t remember the title. It is about the librarian who rode a horse to get books to people who had no libraries. I don’t think I have that mixed up with Jodi Picoult. I sometimes get the two mixed up..

@RubyHawk I have heard of Jodi Picoult and there are some here that have read some of her books. I never read any of them yet but noticed when I was getting only two books at the bookstore that they had her but did not get. The other authors I have not heard of. I like Ludlum and am finishing a Bourne book now. It is very good and I just do not have the time to read like I once did. Since I do not go out much to appointments I do not take a book to read while waiting. I also like Faye Kellerman and her Decker family episodes. I have an Elizabeth George book to start after I finish my Bourne one and like Daniel Silva books too and there are others but cannot think of the names right now.

@Hannihar It is strange. That’s why I used to like it so much, but I’m not as interested in strange now. The last book I read of his was The Dome and I didn’t like it.
