Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

I can't remember what I ate for breakfast this morning let alone come up with ten favorite books for the year. But I will say I've enjoyed the knitting books by Kate Jacobs. "Friday Night Knitting Club," and right now I'm reading, "Knit the Season."
I really liked Debbie Macomber's latest book "One Simple Act!"
Last January, a friend and I made a pact to read Les Miserables together. (I believe it was one of those self-improvement, lose 20 lbs, be a better person sort of things that are induced by too many indulgences over Christmas...)
Anyway, long story somewhat shortened, she quit the book to go on a missions trip to Rwanda. (The lengths that girl will go through to get out of something!) I couldn't come up with anything nearly as good, so I ended up slogging through it.
And it was the best book I've ever read in my life, save the Bible. Yeah, I was shocked too!
I can't say I'm a better person for having read it, but it WAS an accomplishment. This January, however, I'm not getting suckered into another "deal" like that...
Can't wait to read the suggestions, here!

Thanks, girls! I'll have to try some of your favorites! Except for your #10, SketchGirl. Already read that one.
The author did a really great job with that book don't you think ;)
It took me a while to get back to you on this because I had to go through my list. So far I've read 101 books in 2009. I'm hoping for more than that in 2010. I kept track of them all on my blog so I printed the list out and then narrowed it down. These are in no particular order:
Get Cozy Josey by Susan May Warren
Ruby's Slippers by Leanna Ellis
Sky Blue by Travis Thrasher
Dear Mom by Melody Carlson
Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo
For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn (I try to read this at least once a year!)
Kiss Me if You Dare by Nicole Young
She's In A Better Place by Angela Hunt
Limelight by Melody Carlson
On A Someday by Roxanne Henke
And as an honorable mention, my choice for my favorite new author "find" of the year: Jenny B Jones. I LOVE her books!
The Katie Parker Production series (In Between, On the Loose, The Big Picture) and A Charmed Life series (So Not Happening and I'm So Sure) are great YA novels that this 40 year old mom adored. Just Between You And Me is her "adult" novel which was just as good.
My other surprise was discovering Travis Thrasher. If you haven't read Sky Blue you need to. AMAZING book!
Wow! I'm honored!!
Hey Di, I spent some time with Debbie Macomber last week. She's amazing.
Merry Christams GirlsWriteOut! Love you all!
