Unless, like others said, I read something in the next two months that changes my plan!"TJR published a new one this year, Malibu Rising, and I was lucky enough to get it from NetGalley. I loved it! Not quite as much as Evelyn Hugo or Daisy Jones, but if you liked those, you'll like this one. Mick Riva, one of Evelyn's husband, is the focus of the story.

I have read many books by this author about the Adams family. One I read last year was Family Fortunes.
I recommend Donna Douglas, Rebecca Tope, Miss Read, and Adriana Trigiani, they all write series of books and all are very different in their contents.
