Duh.<br /><br />I enjoyed those old suspense books so much. I, too, have included suspense and mystery in my books. It makes the romance more exciting. :^)Penelope Marzechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563853832717077875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-23359522989352453622011-12-11T00:53:37.740-05:002011-12-11T00:53:37.740-05:00Penelope, this is a fun topic.

Went on to Hardy Boys, Beverly Gray, and Judy Bolton. I loved mysteries. When I grew older, I read Phyllis Whitney, Victoria Holt, and Velda Johnston. Small wonder that when I began to write my own novels, I favored romantic suspense.Linda Hope Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362087612066936698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-40820098701539353962011-12-10T20:28:42.009-05:002011-12-10T20:28:42.009-05:00Pauline: I'll have to see if I can find any of...Pauline: I'll have to see if I can find any of Mary Elgin's books. :^) I never heard of Sally Watson. I read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm when I was very, very young. Our oldest daughter's name is Rebecca. <br /><br />Miriam: I found Kristin Lavransdatter on B&N. Looks interesting! I read Anya Seton's Green Darkness many, many years ago. I read just about all the Nancy Drew books. I should have posted that. :^)Penelope Marzechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563853832717077875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-15208268915250294492011-12-10T12:53:39.351-05:002011-12-10T12:53:39.351-05:00Am I the only one who read Sally Watson's book...Am I the only one who read Sally Watson's books?

Yes, to Georgette Heyer, which is where I developed my love of romance novels. Cecilia Holland's book about a very strong Italian countess, who lived in Italy and married a warrior type. I can't remember the name of the book. I loved that.Miriam Allensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-54919698257727462302011-12-10T09:24:17.024-05:002011-12-10T09:24:17.024-05:00Georgette Heyer, Elizabeth Cadell, if you like Mar...Georgette Heyer, Elizabeth Cadell, if you like Mary Stewart, then you'd probably like Mary Elgin. She only wrote three books. I have no idea if they are available in digital. Also Alastair Maclean remains a favorite. And of course, Anne of Green Gables. Did you ever try Daddy Long Legs? It is available in digital, through GP maybe and I've seen it on amazon, so it's probably in Nook. If you can get the drawings, makes it more fun. My grandmother gave me Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca of Sunnybrooke Farm, Daddy Long Legs and Polyanna one year for Christmas. I got a bunch of PG Wodehouse free not long ago. I think they were PG, too. <br /><br />I love the books I read when I was young, too. Obviously. LOL!<br /><br />(I started wearing glasses when I was in 2nd grade!)Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-74597677051953551762011-12-09T10:16:47.162-05:002011-12-09T10:16:47.162-05:00I was rather nearsighted by the time I was 12. :^)...I was rather nearsighted by the time I was 12. :^)<br /><br />Books are wonderful.

I had poor eyesight and a reading disability. AFter the kids were older, I started reading old Harlequin romances. Now I always have a book in my hand.Nancy Lee Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560437903308743227noreply@blogger.com
