If yo...Have you tried Frank Peretti and Judy Hunt?<br /><br />If you get a chance to read Peretti, get The Oath, Piercing the Darkness and This Present Darkness. You won't regret it.<br /><br />Judy Hunt is also a very unique Christian fiction writer.

The days of my youth with no care in the world *sigh*)..<br />One of my favourite authors is (wait for this!) FRANCINE RIVERS!! lol.. and Redeeming Love is one of the best books written!! hehe, (guilty as charged!).. But I do love her style of writing and the way she weaves bible stories to modern situations.. And I think every one should read "As the Shofar Blew"...<br /><br />Sidney Sheldon and Jeffery Archer are master class story-tellers...<br />I love John Grisham as well, the Firm being one of my favourite books, although sometimes he can be quite boring and looon (I mean what was going on with "The Painted House??" *yawn*..<br /><br />Danielle Steel is a brilliant author as well but I agree with you, "Why does someone ALWAYS have to die? and why must there always be a divorce??.<br /><br />Another author I enjoy reading is Dorothy Koomson.. Also not forgetting the romantic greats of Nora Roberts (Although she put me off with all the ghost stories), Judith McNaught, Emily Giffin etc etc<br /><br />I would definitely be looking out for Kendra Norman Bellamy.. I haven't read any of her books xx1 + The Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862248548780032609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765596606813570502.post-12928265980199433482010-05-20T09:55:23.534+01:002010-05-20T09:55:23.534+01:00I like Jefery Archer, Sidney Sheldon and Francine ...I like Jefery Archer, Sidney Sheldon and Francine Rivers. dont know the first two authors two mentioned though!doll (retired blogger)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04617294319074603189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765596606813570502.post-67313986525310962522010-05-19T23:22:47.466+01:002010-05-19T23:22:47.466+01:00My darling....

It was Rage of Angels. Lara. Didn't eat or sleep till i finished it. I think i've read every published Sidney Sheldon book.<br />Someone recently compared him to Jeffery Archer so i picked up one of his books, and it took me 2weeks to finish. Too slow paced for my liking.<br /><br />I'm a fan of James Patterson, currently reading a recent work of his, something about aliens...not werking for me.<br />Danielle Steele is to sad for me, plus i'm not a fan of romance books. Make two characters fall in love then kill somebody....not my thing.<br />John Grisham, Jackie Collins, Iris Johannsen, Teri Gerritsen, Michael Palmer....iLike.<br />Oh and chick lit is my thing.....when i'm in the UK that is.mizchifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856675705278891115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765596606813570502.post-9904049394010589272010-05-14T21:31:59.850+01:002010-05-14T21:31:59.850+01:00Just read an excerpt from Abidemi Sanusi's Eyo...Just read an excerpt from Abidemi Sanusi's Eyo.

Why must someone die in her books? hiss! although her writing can suck you in well sha.<br /><br />Books by Nigerians... never really tried them, I think becos of lack of distribution to the western world.

And no Redeeming love was not overhyped, maybe slow in a couple of places, LOL. I convinced Atala to read it and he loved it. It was my first FR but not the last as you can imagine. I read Kane and Abel several times as well as other books by JA but the papa of them all is Shidney Sheldon, I don't want his mantle though, Danielle Steele will do for me.<br /><br />Or maybe Buchi Emechata. I cried each time I read Bride Price and some of her other books. I love Flora Nwapa too, they helped shape my feminist views. <br /><br />Other writers I love, Harold Robbins, Jayne Krentz, read so many of their books growing up not recently. I also like Frank Perretti. I read a host of UK chick-lit while there and collected Marian Keynes. Had to give them all away. <br /><br />I will also read anything by a Nigerian. I'm not a big fan of Achebe though, I prefer Cyprian Ekwensi.<br /><br />Now I read by blurbs and reviews and not writers. I look forward to reading yours, :)Mynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595087387069634003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765596606813570502.post-54053740405944591132010-05-14T18:10:00.171+01:002010-05-14T18:10:00.171+01:00Lol @ "If that author can write, I can write....Lol @ "If that author can write, I can write."<br /><br />I'm a 100% fan of Francine Rivers...I don't know how she does it. I am probably guilty of hyping up "Redeeming Love."<br /><br />Your description of Harlan Coben's CAUGHT makes me want to run to Barnes & Nobles and grab a copy. I'm adding it to my Amazon wishlist now, maybe a good samaritan will buy it for me.
