I have so many favorites... choosing a favorite author or a favorite book is like asking me to choose a favorite between my heart and my lungs. But a current favorite is Karen Witemeyer. Her characters leap off the pages - her heroines are spunky and her heroes are sexy - and her story lines resonate with themes of redemption, mercy, and grace without preaching or feeling like you're reading through a sermon.

I liken choosing a favorite author to choosing a favorite child.

Your author sounds interesting, I shall follow her up

By far, James Rollins. BUT the ones that do come next would have to be Jodi Piccoult, Nicholas Sparks, and John Grisham!

James Rollins to me has all kinds of excitement along with some facts that he researches in magazines, online, books, and his own adventures he has gone on. He really is a hard read and that to me makes his adventures more fun and appealing. I do research myself and read about what kind of topics he talks about. Waiting for his newer adventure coming out in 4 days (June 25th) and meeting him next weekend!

Jodi Picoult to me has interesting topics she picks. I have only read two of her books (Vanishing Act & Lone Wolf). I do have a lot of her others to read. My heart just feels warm when I am done reading her books.

Nicholas Sparks- He is pretty good. Once I do have a book of his on hand, I usually can't put it down, but it's not my everyday read. I have read A LOT of his books. I have read one newer book of his and the others were his older ones ( The Wedding, The Guardian, The Notebook, A Bend in the Road, A Walk to Remember and so on).

John Grisham to me is a fun and fast read. He makes the story entertaining and some intense parts. But you know that is about it.

I can't pick just one, but I do have a top 5:

Haruki Murakami...every book I've read by him is pure magic.
J.R.R. Tolkien...every rock and tree he created is almost like its own character.
Jane Austen...no one else can so politely ridicule all of society.
Charlotte Bronte...her books are so incredibly evocative.
Emile Zola...one of the best socialist fiction writers of all time.

Mario Puzo

I really enjoy reading T. Jefferson Parker. I like detective and crime books. His writing is a style I really enjoy. This is my first post and my first time on this website. I am really excited to get to know people and learn about some good books.
