Littens,
I‘m looking for a book to gift my mom for Christmas and who better to ask than you?
She likes to read:
📖 Nora Roberts
📖 Sandra Brown
📖 Clive Cussler
📖 Diana Gabaldon
📖 Erin Morgenstern
Books with a little mystery, a little romance, sometimes a little fantasy or magical realism thrown in. Historical fiction is also good.
Preferably a series or author with a long backlist.
I‘m thinking a cozy mystery might be a good option?
rubyslippersreads Mary Stewart? Vintage, but popular romantic suspense and lots of titles. (edited) 12mo
wanderinglynn If she hasn‘t already read it, Nora Robert‘s has a detective series set in the 2060s New York written under the pen name J.D. Robb. She‘s up to like 60+ titles in that series. https://jdrobb.com/book-list-2/ 12mo
MeganAnn @rubyslippersreads I was going to get her a Mary Stewart to try and then I found out she read several back in the day and thought they were just fine. 🤷♀️ 12mo

MeganAnn @wanderinglynn yep she‘s read that too. Basically everything Roberts has written under either name my mom has devoured. But she keeps telling me she wants to find a new author she can read like Roberts. 12mo
MeganAnn She also really likes Susanna Kearsley. Alice Hoffman is hit or miss for her. I‘ve tried Sarah Addison Allen which she said was okay, but not a favorite. 12mo
Gissy Elizabeth George has a series Inspector Linley. Nicci French has a series where the protagonist is a psychiatrist; Tana French or Jane Harper that first book in Aaron Falk trilogy is fantastic. 12mo
Librarybelle Has she tried Jayne Ann Krentz? She‘s got a bunch of romantic suspense, with a touch of magical realism/fantasy elements in some of her books. She also writes under Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle. 12mo
Bookzombie A historical mystery series that might work is the Lady Darby series. There are 11 so far. There is a romance that grows through the books. 11mo
The Anatomist's Wife
Ddzmini Sharon Sala, Danah McCall, Joann Ross, RaeAnne Thayne good authors with great books 📚 11mo
MeganAnn @Bookzombie that series actually looks perfect for her! Thank you! 11mo
MeganAnn @Gissy those look like some good options. Thank you! 11mo
MeganAnn @Librarybelle I think I remember seeing some Krentz or Castle books on her shelf, but she never talked about them with me or passed them along so I have no idea what she thought. 🤷♀️ I might have to bring them up with her as potential options. 11mo
MeganAnn @Ddzmini these look like some good possibilities as well. Thank you! 11mo
