favorite author?

[Kirsten]

Read some books by Dean Koontz in the past, but I don't remember which books it were.

There are many authors I like, some of my faves are Ken Follet, Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, Akif Pirrinci, and - as I have to admit - Andreas Franz, a German author who writes crime stories, but very graphic ones.

Oh, and I love the Harry Potter books, read them many times, and never get tired of them.

I read so much, it's hard to pin down a favorite author, but a few of them would be Robin McKinley, Anne Bishop, and recently, Sergei Lukyanenko. If you like sci-fi/fantasy books his Night Watch series is DEFINITELY one to check out.

I like Mary Higgins Clark, Jan Karon, and Sue Grafton. I also like the Harry Potter books. An excellent non-fiction author is Jung Chang--Wild Swans was a great book!

Jan Karon,

How could I forget Jan Karon?! I read all of the Mitford books. I also forgot Lilian Braun Jackson who wrote "The Cat Who" series of which I have read many.

Most recently my favourite has been Diana Gabaldon - her Outlander series is outstanding and I can hardly wait for the next book in the series Oh to be a time traveller in the Scottish Highlands ....

Jack London and Erin Hunter are my favorites.

I usually just read random books but became addicted to "Warrior cats" after my parents bought me the 1st book for christmas. Jack London's books have always impressed me. Jules Verne is pretty good to. I like classic stories

I LOVE reading! Right now I'm stuck with Summer reading for school reading a stupid book that I'm not enjoying so I can't read anything else right now.

I love the way Gregory Maguire writes. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Wicked are my favorites.
Of course, the Harry Potter series will always be my favorite, so I guess Jo is my favorite author technically.

I think I'm the only librarian who hasn't read past book #3 in the Harry Potter series. I think I got to book 3 and was just like, sigh... I guess I should make an effort to read the rest of them, but just don't have the inclination. I've found so many others that I like better, lol.

I did read City of Bone and want to read City of Ashes (vampires and more fantasy). Also liked Bluebloods (another vampire series). Loves Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. Also his Uglies, Pretties, and Specials. I think there's a 4th... not sure. Very futuristic and cool.

I have read everything he has ever written, even a book about him by someone else!

Did you read watchers? There are also some good movies based on his books, we have them on our movies for free on cable right now, intensity is really good.

I haven't read watchers yet. The first Koontz book I read was his newest, the darkest evening of the year. I also read Intensity. That was by far my favorite! I want to watch the movie but can't ever find it online.

Like Grace and Kitten645, I prefer non-fiction.

An enjoyable book I read recently was Julie Klem's Please Excuse My Daughter.

My favorite author would have to be James Herriot. Unfortunately he's no longer alive.

[Willow Oak]

James Michener: The Source, Chesapeake, Alaska, etc.

Of course, I love James Alfred Wight (James Herriott).

And Samuel Clemons.

My favourite at the moment is Sue Grafton, I'm reading them in English - brilliant writing and perfect good night reading. A nice PTalker sent me some! I also like Blaze Clement/Dixie Hemingway, recently read Curiousity killed the Catsitter.

Oh, and Blood and Chocolate is my favorite werewolf book, but I forget who it is by. I was so disappointed when they made the movie and it was very, very loosely based on the book.

I have to mention John Green, since he's in my signature! He's half of the vlogbrothers, and I have only read one of his three books but I loved it. I'm going to the Chicago stop on his Tour De Nerdfighting where I'm going to buy his newest book, Paper Towns.

Lute, we finally got intensity on Comcast our cable, 2 years ago they showed the first one and never the second part, I called around and looked and couldn't find it either, the movies part 1 and 2 are very good.
