I read all of EJD's books except for the last 2 and I really really liked em all except for Between Lovers? Yeah, I think that's the one. Just didnt get me like the others did. Wasnt that bad a book though.
Read alla ELH's books too and I just love em all. Really really.

I love ALL of EDJ's books...I recommend that you read them in order that they were published tho @ Babyfaced...

EDJ tends to bring back characters from different books...Such as in Thieves Paradise..Tammy and her husband are trying to buy the house from Dante' and Pam...Tamm and ol boy was from Cheaters..Tammy knew Pam...its really like a 6 degree's of seperation typa thing..I love how everybody somehow knows SOMEBODY...

Now 1 book that really shoulda been made into a movie other then Cheaters..was The Other Woman...Ahhh i read that book in 1 day..seriously..it was SOOOOOOOO good..

Now as far as E.Lynn Harris books goes..I would suggest you read his books in order as well..Just as I am is the first one i believe..or Invisible Life..If this world were mine... Abide by me...and i dunno a lot more..Last summer i read all of his books..like 7 of em in a 3 month period..

He's ans Ok writer..I dont enjoy him as much as i do EDJ..but i like him better then Omar Tyree..can we say crappy ass writer?? His best book was Flyy Girl and they need to turn THAT into a movie...

Anyways I hope u enjoy all of your EDJ and E.Lynn Harris Books

^^Yes, I have the E Lynn Harris books on order for August. I am trying to find someone with Flyy Girl. I have seen too many of my peeps with that book ((plus I'm too cheap to buy it!)). I am going to get EJD's Friends and Lovers as well as Not a Day Goes By by ELH 8)

The first book I read by him was Sister, Sister, and I LOVED it. Since then I've read everything except for Milk in my Coffee up to The Other Woman (which was excellent, but I'm biased since the main character is supposed to be one of my Sorors) He's definitely one of my fav authors. E. Lynn Harris is good too, but sometimes his themes make me a tad uncomfortable, if you are homophobic, don't read his books.

Also, Flyy Girl was horrible, don't waste your money on that, get it from the Library. That way if you don't like it, you didn't waste your money, and you don't have to keep something you'll never want to read again :wink:
