    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!

    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.

    James Patterson, Kathy Reichs, JD Ward, Fern Micheals, Tami Hoag and various others, most of the time I pick books because they look intersting though, not because of who the auther is lol.

    JD Ward is a specific series call the Black Dagger Brotherhood, its en exellent series about vampires, other books are like "fillers" between release dates of her books for me lol. I wish more people would give the series a chance though, unfortinaly it gets classified as "Romance" in book stores and libraries which tends to give it a stigma. its unfortinate because only about 10% of the matrials in these books are "romance" the other 90% is fighting, torture, cursing and killing lol
