If you are having trouble concentrating, it's time for a silly Christmas romance! Or, any romance really.

I’ve been relying more on those kind of stories. Good advice.

[Sharon]

Great list Jonetta. I didn't know there was a "Where are the Children 2" Where are the children was one of the books that turned me from all Romance to mostly mysteries with a little romance occasionally.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Sharon! I was shocked when they released the book as I’d just listened to the first one about a year ago. Yes, Clark was one of my authors as a teen that drove me towards mysteries and thrillers. The romance came only when I discovered the In Death series.

[Michelle]

Enjoy your reading Jonetta.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Michelle!

[Lauren]

Happy reading, Jonetta!
Like you and Sharon, MHC was the author that got me hooked on romantic suspense. For me it was, Weep No More, My Lady, which I read in my teens.

[Jonetta]

Thank you, Lauren! I believe for me it was A Stranger Is Watching. Also read it in my teens.

[Robin]

Great list, Jonetta! It sounds like many of us cut our teeth on Mary Higgins Clark. I remember reading Where are the Children? in study hall.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Robin! Great memories, right?

[Sharon]

I'm so jealous. I can't read your review yet. I'm not very patient as it is. LOL

[Jonetta]

I agree, even though I don’t have spoilers. I prefer to go in blind.
