Janeiowa | 5009 comments Just finished Return to Virgin River by Robyn Carr. I’m glad I borrowed it from a digital collection and didn’t pay $14.99 for an ebook.

I reread a lot of my ebooks. This will not be one of them.

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments I wasn't impressed with the Virgin River Series either. I can get the audio books from the library and that is the only reason I'm reading the series.

Eve (everf) | 815 comments I've heard a lot about Robyn Carr and her Virgin River series. But TBH I haven't been crazy about this series or author. I don't know why some authors grab you, others leave you cold.

...but $14.99 for an ebook...methink someone has gone crazy! You can sell more copies of ebooks. You have practically worldwide market at your hands these days. This kind of pricing sounds stupid and over the top. I'm so thankful for the libraries and used bookstores. I also recently joined Bookbeat that offer good selection of audiobooks for monthly fee.

I agree with you about some authors. I've read some that I just can't understand why anyone would bother to read them, yet get rave reviews even from some of my friends. Some authors I love, some of my friends hate.

I've read too many stories with unlikeable and horrible characters, so I desperately need a little bit of SEP's humor and sassyness ;)

Janeiowa | 5009 comments Eve....we're on the same page. And I just finished another disappointing one...happily, I'd borrowed it and not paid 9.99 for an ebook. I expected romance with a HEA...this is more, in my opinion, that somewhat elusive genre called "women's fiction with angst"...I think. One More for Christmas One More for Christmas by Sarah Morgan Two adult sisters are close and then there's their egocentric, emotionless, blunt, "my way or the highway" CEO mother. Author is Sarah Morgan whose books I've normally enjoyed. Not this one. I'm in no mood for egocentric people at this point in this year.

I think its easier to find books that dissapoint than books that you fully enjoy from the beginning till the end and once you are over, you want to start to read it again because it was that good. Thankfully there are authors that mostly write books that I enjoy.
I didn't know that Sarah Morgan ebooks are nearly $10. I've read some of her books. She's not bad but she's not in the same league as SEP, Linda Howard and Christina Dodd for example.

Janeiowa | 5009 comments I just started a book by Erin Wright, and was surprised to see the statement that she’d ghostwritten a series for another author; she obviously couldn’t say who or what, but that confirmed what I’d long wondered about. It would explain why some turn out books at an amazing speed and books that don’t seem to “feel” like others by the author.

Anybody else felt that disconnect sometimes?


message 2692: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (gr-nancy-a) | 799 comments I haven’t noticed that .. but interesting.
Of course Tom Clancy collaborated with other authors but at least their names were on the covers so the reader knew WHY the writing
didn’t match his Hunt for Red October (for example).


message 2693: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments Janet Evanovich also collaborates on some of the series she writes. I'm currently reading Murder on the Metro. This series was originally written by Margaret Truman, then several books were written by Don Bain, now Jon Land is writing the for the series, Book #31. It's quite good, so far.
