Lately fluff reading, can't seem to make time for anything with substance, but love the "vigilante series" by Fern Michaels. On a historic note, Nancy E. Turner has written several in a series that starts with These is my Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901. "Sarah's Quilt" was really cool, and now there is "The Star Garden". The first two were fascinating pieces of early American settlers and their hardships, but great human studies.

Anne Mccaffrey' Dragonriders of Pern were my favorites for pure escape for many years, also Decision at Doona, The Ship That Sang, etc. At 60-+ I seem to have reverted to young reading, but read many of the classics in the 1960s and 1970s. One of my favorite reads the last few years was ...The Traveling Pants, real true TEEN-LIT but a wonderful story. I lost the thread of Grafton's alphabet series after Q is for Quarry, but y'all have triggered my appetite for the rest of the stories...great topic!

regularly to find new authors to collect & read from used bookstores. The lists are by authors or themes and it is a great source to find recommendations or whatever, but there are so many listed that at age 60+ I doubt I'll ever get all of the ones I want to read -read.

I figure the younger generation will glom onto them more willingly than those of us over 40, so I'm very interested in the opinion of someone over 40.
