kelly2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 hi, i have always read rom coms, the first book i got about 2yrs ago was with or without you by carole matthews and i enjoyed so stuck to that genre. as much as i love reading rom coms im getting a bit bored and was hoping if anybody could suggest a light read, im open to all suggestions of all genres thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi Kelly, let me think, 'The Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is a good place to start:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Or something by Alice Hoffman? Or you could go mystery and read Agatha Christie, Simon Brett, MC Beaton. Light (for tales of murder!) but not really romcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agatha Christie sounds good i do like the series lol i get put off by big books though and thought they would be huge? im just bascially trying to escape from the world of rom com for a while and see what else i enjoy reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I see you've reda a Carole Matthews book. I recently read The Chocolate Lovers' Club by Carole Matthews and loved it. If you haven't already read it, it's definitely worth picking up. I don't have much experience of rom-coms, but I liked that one enough to pick up the sequel (The Chocolate Lovers' Diet) which I hope to read very soon.

Janet Evanovich is good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Can I ask a stupid question? What are rom coms? Romantic Comedies? I don't understand this shorthand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 If you like something with a bit of extra bite, you might like to try Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series: Bitten Stolen Dime Store Magic Industrial Magic Haunted Broken No Humans Involved The nest one (Personal Demon) comes out shortly).
