Negin Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm willing to give Maeve another try! Good for you for being willing to give her another try. Do bear in mind that she's generally light and fluffy. I started reading her books when I was in my late teens and I've read them all. I just googled her page and am so sad to hear that she just passed away a few weeks ago. :( She was one of those authors that I always dreamed of meeting. The first book I read by her was Echoes. Liked it a lot. Don't remember it much. Loved Circle of Friends - even better than the movie, which is usually the case anyway. Many of the characters in her books appear again and again, more so her later books, so it may help to read them in order, but you don't have to. That link lists her books in order. As with any author, even the best ones, I wouldn't recommend reading them back-to-back. I would take a break and read a new one every few months or so or else it's overkill. ;) I can't remember which book I've loved the most. I haven't particularly disliked any of them, but some have been far better than others. I'd probably go with Echoes, Firefly Summer, or Silver Wedding - probably because of order of publication. I also happen to have liked her earlier books more. Negin! :001_smile:Great to see you back on the thread. Hope you had a great trip. :grouphug: Stacia, you're so very sweet and kind and I have really missed you. Thought of you a lot in NYC. :grouphug: "Negin wanted me to ask..." Rosie, go on! :D Please! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
