Nora Roberts

Hello. I've been posting as spacekitton. Lately, I've been thinking I'm not like a little kitton anymore, and decided to give myself a new, more mature handle. I like this forum.

I'm really new to reading and writing in English. I've been trying to read established writers in many different genre, as well as classics. Although I thought the cover looked really corny, I thought what the hell, she's a very popular writer, and picked up this book called Blue Smoke. I didn't really wanted to like this book so much, but man, she really sucked me in!

I think her writing is a pretty solid example of modern day American female author. I am reading English translation of Count of Monte Cristo at the same time, and it's kind of boring me, and contrasting from Nora Roberts. I want to put it down but since I want to be a well-read person, I'm hanging on to it. But the story progression is much slower. Nora Roberts' writing is much leaner and fast. (of course, it might be better if i read it in French.)

I liked the romance and sex in Nora Roberts'. Though it's kind of embarrassing to say so.. I feel like such a chick.

Lostgirl, you certainly knows Roberts! I'm really new to reading English novels, and I'm sort of scanning through the different genre. But I know for sure her book has been the most addicting so far!
