Janet Evanovich Book Group discussion

In my Twenties I discovered the Stephanie Plum books too. I also read a lot of Nora Roberts.

I can't even think of all the books I've read, I'm only 26, but I read a lot... Stephanie Plum, Lizzy and Diesel, Anita Blake, Jeanine Frost, Chloe Neill, Heather Webber/Blake, J.D. Robb, Hannah Howell, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Juliet Blackwell.. and there's a lot more, actually.

I really started reading in my 20's (in the 70's). My favorite genre was Historical Romance. Favorite authors Laurie McBain, Katherine Woodiwise, Rosemary Rogers

Heck, I've read everything. I started in middle school with Gone with the Wind and then voraciously read historical romances. I started with the contemporary with Daneille Steele but I got tired of her when I read about 20 of her books and they where pretty much exactly the same. I have read all of Nora Robert's and I know she follows a formula much like Steele does but somehow her books don't seem so much the same. I really like the Julie James books, Julia Quinn is the modern day Jane Austin, Lisa Kleypas,Jude Deveroux,Catherine Anderson, Joan Johnston and Janet Daily. I love the plum books but my favorites are the Judith McNaught books, her stories are complex and the charaters are rich. She has both historical and contemporary. I really like goodreads because I ran out of authers and have picked up some new ones here.

A lot of the authors I liked in my 20s I still like - P.G. Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome, Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, Barbara Pym, Gerald Durrell, Jilly Cooper. I didn't at that time care for mysteries, which I got into much later - I started reading Agatha Christie about twenty years ago, and got into Janet Evanovich about 15 years ago.
