they are just a general good read ~ some have a bit of romance in them ~ some have good storylines ~ as in Beach House ~ which is about turtle nesting in the Carolina's ~ she just holds your interest thru any/all of her books.
That sounds like fun. Wish my all time fav author would come to my area. Mine is Elizabeth Peters. She is great. As for the movie Misery I just love it. My kids even enjoy it with me.
