I love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich and anything by Nicholas Sparks or James Patterson! I'm looking to expand my reading horizons though and would like any suggestions. Thanks!

    Amazing, couldn't put it down. Check out "Little Plastic Miracles" By Ron Currie Jr., or another by him titled "Everything Matters".

    Add "East of Eden" by Steinbeck to your list. Everyone should read that IMHO.

    I you enjoy the Stephanie Plum books, you should try the Charlie Davidson books by Darynda Jones. They are sexy, funny and have a little/lotta fantasy thrown in for good measure.
