My favorite author has to be Barbara Delinsky, although I do like quite a few others as well.
All of her books are good and interesting, but my most favorite is "Shades of Grace", I read it shortly after my mother had to be put in a nursing home, and I was in tears most of the way through the book.

If you like good police procedurals, try the Mark Billingham books. I've read Sleepyhead and Scaredy Cat (most of which I read by candlelight when we lost our power during Hurricane Igor) and now I'm reading Lazy Bones. Excellent reads! :thumbup:

A Vintage Affair by Isabel Woolf is a MUST READ! It is so great, it's title is very...misleading. There is not an affair... It's so splendid.

Yes, and they are addictive! They are huge books, but I read through them all so fast, I couldn't put them down.

[quote=Ditter43]The last two I read were Steven King's "Under the Dome", very long but I enjoyed it a lot....
----------------------------------------------------------
Most of his I don't want to read late at night. And like his, the ones Elizabeth Donald writes is even more nightmare provoking.
(I'll never tell her that)
She writes well in this genre. (She's marvelous as a person too, is Elizabeth, my step-granddaughter.)

I just finished reading "Dewey: the Library Cat" a wonderful biography about the Spencer, Iowa library cat and the librarian that found him in the book drop in 1987.
