Roberta, I keep thinking about what you said about not reading Catherine
Coulter, but that you never would have discovered Nora Roberts if you hadn't
read her for reader's advisory purposes.....

I was not interested in reading Catherine Coulter until a patron advised ME
that I would probably like her newer stuff, "The Maze", "The Target", etc.
And I LOVED them! They were some of the best books I've read lately!
Thanks to patrons too, and the exchange of readers advisory information!

If you like contemporary romantic suspense, I recommend Ruth Glick writing as
Rebecca York's 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue and Cherry
Adair's Kiss and Tell (Ivy Books).

If anyone has read The Maze, The Target, and other book in this
series, please do not be put off by what she says about the Salem
Public Library's cafe. In her book THE EDGE, part of the story takes
place in our library. When queried about the library's cafe, Amadeus,
the librarian replies that it is a "bowel-twister" and she had had a
horrible salad there. This really upset me as Amadeus is the actual
name of the cafe and it is a wonderful place to eat. I sent Catherine
Coulter an email and said that even if she did have a horrible meal at
the cafe she shouldn't use the real name as it wasn't fair to the
owner, who is an excellent chef and a very hard worker. Catherine
replied she had never visited our library but in hindsight realized
she should have changed the name. So if you visit our library, please
do not hesitate to eat at Amadeus! When I received an email from
Catherine with a tour schedule to promote her latest thriller, I
replied with an invitation to have lunch at the cafe, but so far she
hasn't take me up on it! :-)
