I highly recommend #LynnKurland's novels, in particular, her #dePiaget and #MacLeod series. Here's the kicker, the two series have a lot of crossovers, too!
What is the genre of the two series? It depends on the novel.

(2/7) 1. The most common is #romance and #romantic (the romantic “genre” isn't necessarily romance per se). Now, we are not talking about romance as most people assume, a girl is head over hills on a hunk guy who is a secret villain or a vampire. (aside: Nothing wrong with it.)

The first book I've read was #DreamsOfStardust. It was so good, I bought every copy of it I saw, and gave away for free to friends and colleagues.

From Crazy Rich Asians to Cherry, our #FridayReads:
.@jafreenmu is re-reading Tahmina Anam (@tahmima)’s novel The Bones of Grace, “a story that draws you in so deeply into the world of its characters, I'm as captivated the second time around as I was when first reading it!”
.@MLRStrategy is reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, “a light beach read that’s been perfect for summer; a love story spanning socioeconomic and class divides that plays out amongst the uber-wealth of Singaporean high society. Will see the movie next!”
