I am Linda Hurst, I am a devout reader and also an online reviewer.
I am in my 60's and disabled luckily for me reading has always been able to take me out of 'my' world and put me in the Author's 'world' for a great escape.
I read all types of romance except for erotica. I also read the spiritually based mysteries from harlequin.
I also read a lot of cozy mysteries with women authors and woman detectives.
My favorite authors are:
Jayne Ann Krentz (in all of her pen names)
Julie Garwood
Diana Palmer (my guiltiest pleasure but I do love her alpha jackasses)
Susan Enoch (both contemporary and historic)
Loretta Chase
Marta Perry
Susan Mallery (I have acquired and am now plowing through her entire backlist)
Maureen Child
Jo Beverley
Elaine Viets (if you like cozy with an ongoing hero/heroine stories her Dead End Job mysteries are a real hoot)
etc, etc, etc!
Well I guess you get the idea--I read a lot!! A book a day on average, I had always read a lot but when I became disabled three years ago it became a real lifeline for me. Thank the lord for my love of reading and the wonderful authors writing romance and mystery right now and getting lost in a book really help a lot.
I also have an online romance/mystery bookstore on Albris--my bookstore is Your Bookie. When I can't find anything immediately appealing in my huge tbrpile I 'shop' my store shelves!
