Lawrence Sanders & Vincent Lardo…Absolutely miss The McNally series. I think I will just reread all of them if I can get them from the library. <3

Sue Grafton passed recently & with it the alphabet ends with “Y.”
Wait, what??

@Michele I just read it on Bing. I’m devastated. She was one of my most favorite authors.
I know! I’m still early on in the alphabet, but I just love Kinsey. I’m so sorry there won’t be a “Z.”
Ivan Doig and Stieg Larsson
Octavia Butler
Stieg Larsson

Just thought of Colleen McCullough (The Thorn Birds which is my all time favorite book of all times) and Andrew Greeley.

@Sharon Read all he wrote!
@Mike . The Last Plainsman is my favorite. Have read it numerous times.
@Sharon
I love how he talked?
@Sharon
My mom had his whole collection and I read it! Couldn’t put it down!❤️??
@Mike . I inherited most of mine from my Dad. He was born in 1925 and the books were gifts. They are very old! I need to check the newer versions to see if the publishers used a more modern vernacular. The older ones are harder, but well worth it
@Sharon I don’t believe his style has been changed!
This is part of his trade mark and what drew so many into his stories!
And the set my mom had is same era too??
I saw these the other day and picked them up more out of respect for Mr.Grey❤️???
@Sharon My moms collection all are hard back and have dust covers and she always kept them separate from other books?❤️
I run across some people who donot care for the way he talked,said it was hard to understand!
My parents were born at the beginning of the century and saw many changes! My mom and I came here from Ireland and my dad came ahead of us to procure a place for us to live!
My dad was born in 1901 and my mom in 1924
Sharon Koonce I post my collections of my books a lot and occasionally I get folks who are genuinely interested and sometimes I have got those who’s intentions are less than honest????❤️But I love books and when I find others who have read and shared my stories I am happy!????❤️???Merry Christmas!
@Mike . Merry Christmas to you and your family.
❤️❤️
