Book help!
I need recs! I'm going to Florida for a week, in two weeks, and I need books. A few things:
(1) It needs to be in paperback (I get hardcovers from the library and that usually takes a while)
(2) I like historical romance fluff
(3) Thinky things make my brain hurt
(4) Well done contemporary romance is good too
I have read everything by:
Eloisa James
Julia Quinn
Stephanie Laurens
Mary Balogh
Julie Garwood
Judith McNaught
Amanda Quick/Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle
Linda Howard
Elizabeth Lowell
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Liz Caryle
Debbie Maccomber
Diana Palmer
Donna Andrews
Julia London
ETA: Georgette Heyer - I've read almost all of them!
I no longer care for:
Nora Roberts
Catherine Coulter
Jude Deveraux
Iris Johansen
Lisa Kleypas
I have tried and didn't really care for:
Sabrina Jeffries
Celeste somebody
Help!

It looks interesting from the blurb, but I still have all of these Suzanne Enoch ones to get through. Who btw has books with a good premise but wallbangingly stupid motivations for the characters. I liked some of her latest books, so I have her back catalogue which so far has been fun, but also very WTF??? in places.
Regency romance is my favourite genre - so if you're looking for a rec I can always give one - and tell you ALL about the hilariously bad ones (which, I confess, I still enjoy if purely for the snarky satisfaction of writing about them)
