I just read "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. What a read! Now I want to read more by her.

Diana Gabaldon. The Outlander series. As long as you can handle a bit of sex and fantasy (time travel) Each book is in the area of 700 pages and there are 7 of them at the moment...

Ken Follet has a series of books, based on historical fact, that begin with a story set in the 1100s... "Pillars of the Earth" which is about 1000 pages. He recently came out with a sequel to it which is also nice and thick!

I was going to start hers--but I don't like fantasy...

I just finished Marie Bostwick's A Thread So Thin. She has 3 books out that are quilt related.Wonderful reads. I also love Debbie Macomber and have just started Hannah's List. Fern Michaels, James Patterson, Iris Johansen... I use the local library as well. When I'm out and see books I may be interested in reading I add them to my list and then come home and order them on line through my library. I usually have 3 or 4 at a time. I like different types of books so juggling isn't usually a problem.

Clare O'Donohue has three quilting books that are great, and don't forget Terri Thayer's three books which I just started!
Then there is the series by the author EVERYONE knows, Jennifer Chiaverini!

If you haven't picked up one of Earlene Fowler's books, you
need to do so now!! :D
Well have I read all of Jennifer Chiaverini. I have never heard of the other 3 but you can be sure by the time the evening is done I will have found out about them and possibly have ordered them. Thanks for the suggestions.
