I'm finding the articles the last 2 weeks very helpful and informative.
Converstaion 1: Eat, Pray, Love. I hear the reader saying that they like popular titles with characters that are interesting, reflective and funny. The setting of the different countries and their description added to their enjoyment. The customer is also looking for a book for a book group.
Grace Eventually by Anne Lamott would be a book the reader might enjoy. It is witty, fun and reflective and the author explores life and her view of faith in light of family and life situations. It is a good book for a group discussion as well.
Conversation 2: Vampire books not like Twilight with no angst, no romance, and fast paced.
I am not a reader of Vampire books. I would recommend based on other readers suggestions Vampire Academy series or Blood Drunk by Angela Lovell. Blood Drunk has a strong male protagonist and a steady pace as the main character seeks to find his sister and enters the world of the vampires. I would take the reader to Novelist so that they might look for other possibilities.
Conversation 3: River of Doubt: The Reader liked that it was historical, true, very fast paced.
I would recommend: Unbroken: A World War II story of survival, resilience, and redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. It is fast paced, factual, and historical. The life of Louis Zamperini an olympian, prisoner of war, and member of the Army Air Force is true, adventuresome and an excellent read.
Edward Klein may be an author the reader might like to try. Fast Paced and historical in his writing but does not contain the adventure of River Doubt and Unbroken.
