    I have read three of James Patterson's series (Women's Murder Club, Alex Cross, Maximum Ride) - all good. I recently bought books from some authors I hadn't heard of before, haven't read them yet.

    Kate White is really good too.
    So is Emily Griffin.

    Book suggestions?? :D

    What kind of book genre do you like? I am a HUGE book lover. LOVE reading!!! :) But I think it depends on what you like.
    I read a lot of different stuff. Love biographies as well. And I also love a book that will shock the hell out of me. But I find most people tend to not like those books. LOL

    Let me know. :) There are tons of books suggestions I'd love to give you. :) I just wouldn't know where to start without a genre.

    I just finished Birds of America by Lorrie Moore, and it was a very good, well-written collection of short stories.

    And, I always have to recommend books by Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore. They're two of my favorite authors :flowerforyou:

    well idk if you have read em but the "fallen" series is good but must be read in order for them to make sense
    "Fallen"(first) "Torment"(second)(best) "passion"(third) and "rapture"(but it has yet to come out so idk if its gud *sad face*)
    also the stephanie plum series is good if you havent read them there pretty funny
    starts with "one for the money" "two for the dough" i think there are about 18 of them lol

    Anything by Sheri S. Tepper, Ursula Le Guin, or Alexandre Dumas would be my favourites.
    Do you have a genre or style that you enjoy reading?
    I am quite a bit of a bookworm (I have 6 bookcases crammed full at home), but favour science fiction and fantasy.

    I am on the second book of this series by Joanne Fluke. I like it so far. Mystery / detective, but not of the intensity of James Patterson et al.

    Good Omens - Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett
    The Hitchhiker's Guide - Douglas Adams
    Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath - a trilogy by Cornelia Funke
    World War Z - Max Brooks (If you are into zombies at all, this one is fantastic)
    Percy Jackson series - Rick Riordan

    I read primarily fantasy/sci-fi, but a couple awesome non-fiction books

    Salvation on Sand Mountain - Dennis Covington
    The Year of Living Biblically - AJ Jacobs

    Both investigate different aspects of faith. Salvation on Sand Mountain is about the snake handling churhes in the south and The Year of Living Biblically follows the author who decided to live by the letter of the Bible for a year instead of the essence. I am not 'of faith' and still loved them both.
