I’ve been a reader since I was a young girl. With over four decades of reading under my belt, I’ve been through a lot of books and couldn’t possibly list all of the ones I enjoyed. Below are the books that stuck out in my brain should we, say, be having a glass of wine and discussing books we just loved. The following, in all sorts of categories, are the books I’d urge you to read if you haven’t already. The books I’ve loved, and for many, returned to time and again.<\/p>\n

Obviously, I’ll start with romance.<\/p>\n

Vintage Romance<\/h6>\n

Although some of these authors are still writing, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s still exceptional, these writers are what led to my fierce love of romance, starting with Judith McNaught (particular favorites are\u2026well, everything but\u00a0Once and Always<\/em><\/a>, A Kingdom of Dreams<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Almost Heaven<\/em><\/a>\u00a0lead that pack). Back in the day, I also devoured anything by Penny Jordan, Jude Deveraux, Johanna Lindsey and Julie Garwood. I recently reread Johanna Lindsey\u2019s\u00a0Warrior Woman<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and can say it\u2019s lost none of its awesomeness. So even if these are \u201cvintage,\u201d they\u2019re absolutely worth a look.<\/p>\n
