{August 17, 2006} Getting Between the Covers!

Welcome to my library!

The “girl in green” theme reminded me of the private eye and suspense novels I grew up reading. Those heated, sultry covers of women with guns and strappy underwear that Robert McGinnis made so popular long before Victoria’s Secret came along.

Some of his best!

I think the covers speak quite eloquently for themselves.

I’m kicking this off to share books with other readers. If I find something I like, it’ll be posted and reviewed here. Come along for the ride. We’ll compare notes.

about

Hi. I’m Mel Odom, a professional writer of over 150 books. Some of them are under my name and others are under pseudonyms I can’t reveal. But long before I became a professional writer, I was a reader. I started this blog at first to keep up with what I’d read. I hate buying the same book over and over again. (Sometimes I have to because I loan them out and don’t get them back. I don’t know how many copies of EARLY AUTUMN by Robert B. Parker I’ve had to buy. It’s my favorite book of all time.) Since I started posting, other people seem to be dropping by to see what I’m reading, and to get and leave recommendations. If you’re an author, please feel free to drop me an email if you’d like me to review your book. I read broadly, as you can tell from this list. And feel free to leave comments or ask questions. We may not agree on things and I may know something in the publishing world that you don’t. Thanks!
