Back when the pandemic started, many authors had to pivot from in person book tours to a virtual event. I saw a post on Susan Mallory's Facebook Page about being invited to be a part of Brenda Novak's virtual book launch. I love Susan Mallory. I had no clue who this Brenda Novak was but bought an e-book copy of her book and watched.
It turns out she has a whole Facebook Group and everything. I joined the Facebook group where I learned that if I read 50 Brenda Novak Books, I get a free pin. So I was determined to read 50 books.
Brenda writes women's fiction, romance suspense, and suspense. I'm definitely more about women's fiction and regular romance. I like romance and I like suspense but not really together. I like my romance to be as drama free as possible. Brenda started out by writing Historical Romance.
Brenda has several series and trilogies along with stand alone books. I started out with One Perfect Summer -- a stand alone that I was the book of the book launch. When I joined the book club, I got two free digital books. Then I focused on the books I could get in audio book. I didn't care what series it was a part of initially or what order I read them in. I just wanted to get my hands on as many as possible.
It may have taken me 5 years to do it but I read my 50th Brenda Novak Book Welcome Home to Whiskey Creek.
And will get my book in my June's book box. Yes, I will keep getting those for now
My favorite series were the Dundee, Idaho series and the Silver Springs Series. There was one Silver Springs series book, Until You Loved Me, that featured a football player and unlike most of the characters in her series, you never really heard about those characters again. I was kind of sad to leave them behind. That was probably my favorite book in the series.
My favorite stand alone was Tourist Season probably because I love being a tourist.
There were some books and series I liked more than others. I did avoid the historicals because I am not a huge of fan of those. I do have one downloaded to my tablet that I will eventually get around to reading.
Even though I hit my 50 books, I will keep reading. Now that Brenda has written 80+ books, maybe she will offer a 75 book pin. So I better keep reading.
