A good book to read when cruising is Skinny Dipping. About a guy who throws his wife overboard and thinks that she is dead.

Another book about cruising is Decked by Carole Higgins Clark. It is a lightweight murder/mystery book about a private eye who travels with an elderly lady on a transatlantic crossing and all sorts of things start happening. The story has about 5 different plots that eventually tie in together.

I read that book a few months ago and enjoyed it. It was my first Carl Hiasson novel and I'll be reading some more of his.  They are funny!

I just started the Nora Roberts "Key" Trilogy: Key of Light, Key of Knowledge, Key of Valor. It's Romance mingled with some Mythological. I wasnt' sure I would enjoy it, but it is actually very good.  They are older books (2003).

Not yet. I hadn't been reading much at all although I love to. I actually just got started reading again and am trying to catch up on some really good authors. I like Nora Roberts and Carly Phillips. I also like Pamela Britton. She does some historical romance, contemporary romance, but her NASCAR books are what got me started reading so much again.

I plan on reading her JD Robb books too.

I've read them all so far. They are really good and pretty sexy!   You don't really need to read them in order, but it does give you a good background on the charachters if you do.

I just finished the Key trilogy and it was much better than I expected. I got "Naked in Death" the other day but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I'll let you know what I think.

Have you ever read any Jack Reacher novels,?  They are good!  The author is Lee Child.

John McKinna's books featuring Ben Gannon are good, too.  (Shark Lake is my favorite)

The JD Robb books are great.  Roarke is to die for.  You just know he's fictional because they just don't make them like that in real life.

I also LOVE the JD Robb books. I've read every one of them, too.

I just finished the book, "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown (of DaVinci Code fame). It was AWESOME, I couldn't put it down.

To me, there's nothing like a great mystery!

Dan Brown's books are great! I'm waiting and hoping he'll come out with another one before too long. Clive Cussler does some really good ones too!

I've been a Cussler fan for almost 20 years.  I tend to like his older books better than the newer ones......."Dragon" is my favorite.

I just finished another of the Nora Robert's Trilogys - The Three Sisters Trilogy. It was very good. Gonna start another trilogy in a few days... The Irish Trilogy. I love how the characters connect and build on each other from book to book.

Not yet. I might read it next. I started to pick it up last night. I'll read it before I start my next trilogy. Seems alot of Nora Roberts books (as herself and JD Robb) have some Ooh, la, la, la characters.
