Janet Evanovich shares her love of books

As some of you will know, this year I have been contributing a monthly series of crime fiction mini-reviews to the books pages of the Herald on Sunday, one of the most well-known weekend newspapers in New Zealand (read my fifth and latest round-up here).

Another regular feature of those book pages is the 'Book Lover' column, where authors share their personal thoughts on books that have impacted their lives and 'stuck out' in their personal reading histories, for one reason or another. Yesterday, the author sharing her love for books was popular US crime writer Janet Evanovich, creator of the bestselling Stephanie Plum series. The piece is now available online. Click here to see which books Evanovich loves the most, is reading right now, would like to read next, her favourite bookshop, and which books changed her, and she wishes she'd never read.
