'The Message'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I did! I knew that! ::grins::
I was surprised to find that Dorothy Eden was only even Dorothy Eden apparently.
I feel like there's one author from this genre that I'm overlooking, but I can't think of her name.
I do remember that after this era came the era of the Sprawling Family Epic, a la Evergreen and A Woman of Substance.
Phyllis Whitney! That's who I was forgetting. I read a million of her books, too.
I tried a couple of Whitney's but they were too cliche. Something about an orphan who caused trouble because her parents were "bad".
Oddly, Whitney had no pseuds. I thought Plaidy was Whitney for a while. Whitney was 104 when she died!
I JUST finally started reading the whole Amelia Peabody series.
Walp, Pix, are you ever in for a treat.

They're a lot of fun! I stopped after the 6th because I was getting a little burned out, but I need to pick them back up again.
I've already burned through the first four. So fun!
I started in the middle because I was browsing at the library and found myself unable to walk past a book entitled "The Last Camel Died At Noon". I wasn't wrong. Then I went back to the beginning. There are some of the later books I haven't read yet.

Diminishing returns in the later books, from what I've heard. Though I haven't read them myself it did sound like the series exhausted itself.
