    My newest find is Debbie Macomber. Her books are light and clean. She's written a ton of them. Don't know how I missed them.

    You need to read the Janet Evanovich books. Start with one and the last one out is Sizzlin Sixteen. They are a fun and easy read. Just entertainment. A couple of years ago one of my girlfriends got me hooked. They are hilarious!!!

    Here's another new (to me) series called Annie's Attic Mysteries. I've only read one so far and really enjoyed it. The books are by different authors. You know there is a catalog called Annie's Attic for sewers/crafters.

    I read a good one by Nicholas Sparks "The Wedding", he wrote The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, I thought it was a good read. Also anything by LaVyrle Spencer.

    Favorite: Phillip Gulley "Harmony Series". He writes about his ficticious small town in Indiana. You will recognize the quirky characters as people you know. Ex. One year they had to impeach the sausage queen as they found out she was vegetarian!

    Also Enjoy: Jan Karon "Mitford Series",
    Andrew Greely all works,
    "Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series"
    by various authors
    President Obama "Stories from My Father"
