I like some with romance in them and I like to read a book that peeks your imagination and lets you think a little ahead and can figure out or think you have the plot figured out. I like surprised endings, I am not into horror books.Margaret Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193782261129586110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-61688439604084427682008-10-12T11:32:00.000-07:002008-10-12T11:32:00.000-07:00I have many friends I revisit whenever I need comf...I have many friends I revisit whenever I need comfort and love. Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Alan Dean Foster, E E 'Doc' Smith amongst others.

With this series I love the humor, I like the fact that Stephanie has two men on the go (I know this very thing annoys some people but not me) and the secondary characters really amuse me.Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-92130467204437875382008-10-11T16:09:00.000-07:002008-10-11T16:09:00.000-07:00I can't say that I re-read forcomfort, but I can s...I can't say that I re-read for<BR/>comfort, but I can say that I read<BR/>for comfort! <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Anna, for another book to<BR/>be added to my TBR list!<BR/><BR/>Pat CochranPat Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997396930842831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-18515162630564824322008-10-11T13:01:00.000-07:002008-10-11T13:01:00.000-07:00I don't reread books intentionally.I don't reread books intentionally.Estellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199693275287344161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-63901563832389568392008-10-11T12:55:00.000-07:002008-10-11T12:55:00.000-07:00I have lots of books that I would read again anyti...I have lots of books that I would read again anytime but I have a huge TBR pile so I feel a bit guilty if I re read a great book but have all of these wonderful books that I haven't read yet.<BR/>But I am sure there will come a day when I will be re reading wonderful authors like Anna Campbell Kathleen Woodiwiss Stephanie Laurens there are lots more but I will stop there.<BR/>Have Fun<BR/>HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984438742736003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-8905486485695500062008-10-11T11:01:00.000-07:002008-10-11T11:01:00.000-07:00Ooh, Amanda, a blog after my own heart.

A couple that spring to mind are LORD OF SCOUNDRELS by Loretta Chase (an all-time classic!) and A COUNTESS BELOW STAIRS by Eva Ibbotson - such a treat if you haven't read it!Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-17235230097993788832008-10-11T10:53:00.000-07:002008-10-11T10:53:00.000-07:00I'm not a comfort re-reader....

My comfort reading is the light, fun books. Stories that warm the heart and can make you laugh AND cry (in a good way).

But as to why? I'm not sure.
