So excited to see this thread! I just retired at the beginning of this year and I'm getting back into reading. Just read my first Colleen Hoover book, Verity. Wow, that was good. No wonder so many people have recommended her. I also just finished Brad Balducci's 6:20 Man and really enjoyed it, so now I'm exploring his other series. Thanks for all the recommendations. I have them noted and will put them on my wait list at the library.
