For the mystery buffs, I would like to recommend Louise Penny. Wonderful plot and character development, very readable. I would start with the first one because all of the recurring characters and setting are introduced. Great series.... highly recommended!

Hard to pick just one.However, the two books that I truly love are "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee and I liked both film adaptations of the books.

My two most favorite are Leon Uris and Wilbur Smith. Uris writes alot about Israel and Smith write about Africa. Right now I'm on a true story kick. Just read Casey Tibbs life story, currently reading about a survivor of Aushwitz and also loved a book called Unbroken about a WWII prisoner of war, it was great!! I read Danielle Steel, Linda Lael Miller, Fern Michaels, I'm kind of all over the place with my reading. I read 2-3 books a week as I have a very boring job and can read at work.

I have several, sort of depends on mood....Ann River Siddons is one of my favorite, probably because she is from Atlanta Ga (as I am)and she writes a lot about the south....I worked for a law firm years back and her Dad was one of the lawyers.....I always wanted to ask if he had had read her books (some were rather steamy).

This week I read a book by Jennifer Chiaverini which is all about quilting...fiction of course !

I like Nora Roberts,Debbie MacComber, can't read Koontz or Stephen King.....spooks me out. I also like Mary Higgins Clark.......
