I love to read. And have many "favorites".
Diane Gabaldon and the "Outlander" series (she's up to book 7, working on #8)
Anne Perry - 1800's mysteries set in London
Caroline Hart - Death on Demand series, Henrie O series
Agatha Christie
Lillian Jackson Braun - The Cat Who series
Clive Cussler - Mystery
Dean Koontz - his early work like "Lightning"
James Patterson
Patricia Cornwell - Scarpetta series
Nancy Atherton - Aunt Dimity mysteries
Colin Dexter - Inspector Morse books
Etc., Etc., Etc.
Give me a good mystery any old day.

Totally forgot Kathy Reichs-love all of the Temperance Brennan books. Didn't think I'd like the TV show but I'm hooked. Am I the only one who thinks there should be a dedicated channel for Bones running 24/7? Also like Jeffery Deavers Lincoln Rhyme books.

Terri Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Joyce Meyers

Rosamond Pilcher and Maeve Binchy

Fern Michaels, especially her Sisterhood Series. Also Debbie MacComber's Cedar Grove Series. They each have written many other books that are also good.

Nora Roberts
Debbie Macomber
Dorothy Garlock

Sherrel Woods
Susan Wiggs

I like Jean Auel, Jennifer Chiaverini's, Anne McCafrey, also Barbara Kingsolver. I don't know if she has written anything new lately, but I just love her fiction.

Stephen King scares me! I can't read or see his stuff. And I think he should be nicer.


Right now I am reading - Sharyn Mc Crumb. Mystery with a touch of humor. Setting is Tennessee around early 18th century and up to the present. They have a Scots flavor.
