WOW! I checked my blog this morning and what a wonderful surprise, I reached 100 GFC followers!! I now have:
100 GFC Followers
193 Twitter followers,
86 Goodread friends,
35 Facebook Page Likes
29 in my Google + circle.
That just tickles me to death!! I have met so many new friends and I can't wait to meet new ones.
I am a huge fan of romance novels, and I have an ongoing list of my fav authors. Nora Roberts, Jill Shalvis, Kresley Cole, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Julia Quinn, just to name a few, are on my automatic buy list. I developed a strong love for historical romance, thanks to my friend Nat at Reading Romances. From there, I went on a Highlander kick for 6 months straight. My bookshelves and Kindle have anything from contemporary, historical and paranormal romance, with an occasional erotica in the mix.
So now you know a little about my reading likes, I want to hear who your favorite authors are. Even though I have been reading for decades, there are many other excellent writers out there who I haven’t read. Maybe you’re even one of them.
As I promised, I want to thank each of you for your follow, no matter how you chose to follow me.

Congrats on reaching 100 followers! (:
Grats on reaching the big 100 followers! :)
More hot recommendations would include: Cherise Sinclair, Kallypso Masters, Eden Bradley, Eve Langlais.
I could go on and on, lol.
I have some older Steve King novels, he scared the heck out of me when I was growing up. :)
Awww, thanks Nat. I think I got my inspiration from your wonderful blog. Thanks. :)
I am a great fan of the Lynsay Sands, Argeneau vampire series. I haven't read any of her Regency series tho'. I have written down the other names. Thanks.
What type of books does he write?
Oohh, I love historical and mystery, another name added to my list.
Hi Kerry, thanks for stopping by!!
I have Lara's books, haven't gotten to them yet.
Some new names to add. I have Jodie's books, I am ashamed to say they have been in my pile for 4 years now. :(
You have listed many I love, I am not familiar with Deborah Cooke's work though. We must start a reading club and compare our thoughts.
Another Lynsay fan, YEAH!!
I have read some of Eve's books ~ racy and hot!!
I take a peek at E L James's books. Is there one in particular that stands out as your favorite?
Thank you for the giveaway :)
Best regards, Diana
I still love to curl up with the classics! I have hard of Karen Maire Moning, I believe she has written about my beloved Highlanders!!
You are welcome, but I have to thank each of you for making this possible and for being a followers.. B
Kristin Hannah's has some beautiful book art. And I just take a glance at Deborah's book and I NEED TO READ THAT, NOW!!
thanks!!
I'm a big fan of Suz Brockmann (who has a new book coming out soon) and Katie Macalister. (I'm in the middle of reading her new contemp)
Congrats on the followers!
I agree it did go by quickly.. :)
Suz writes some military suspense with some super sexy heroes. And as far as Katie, it looks like she has a super vampire series, the Dark Ones. Those look great. Are they stand alone books are do you need to read them in order?
I love Historical Romance, too. I am actually reading Shana Galen 'Rogue Pirate Bride' at the moment. Two friends at goodreads recommended Lisa Kleypas and Stephanie Laurens. I may have to quit my day job just to catch up on my reading :)
Thanks for stopping by. Now those are authors I haven't heard. Christopher Paolini's Inheritance series looks like it may be about dragons, I love dragons.
One of my New Years Resolution for 2012 is to read YA. The authors you like look a few I can read. I love fantasy, mystical movies, I just never read them in print. Well that will change. Thanks for sharing your favs.
Hi there!! Thanks for joining in on the giveaway.
The cover art for City of Lost Souls is gorgeous! I think I would enjoy The Mortal Instruments’s ~ looks like another great fantasy book with maybe possibly my favorite ~ shape shifters, Thanks.
Also love Mercedes Lackey and her novels of Valdemar. I have shed more tears in her pages than anywhere else. Steel Magnolias doesn't come close! I love her world-building and her magic...I haven't the words for how wonderful those books are. More than one I wished I was one of her Heralds... :)
I'm kinda sweet on my own book, too, but since it's not out for six weeks yet, I'll have to be satisfied picking up a tattered paperback by Melanie or Mercedes and curl up with a cup of Darjeeling.
Cheers!
Yes, I agree. There is something about the written word.. :)
Thanks for stopping by. I will take a look at Melanie and Mercedes work. I am not familiar with them.
Nothing wrong with plugging your book. Good luck!
Lexie, again, there's something about the written word, there are some differences between what we read and what was in the motion picture.
Christine Feehan (Great vampire and leapord shifter books)Ex. Dark Gold, Wild Rain
Lynsay Sands (great vampire books)
Ex. Hungry For You, Tall Dark and Hungry
YA
Colleen Houck (Tiger's Curse series My fav books of all time)
Marissa Meyer (Cinder was awesome!)
Katie
I also have some Christine Feehan- I loved the Drake sisters, Leopard Series, and Ghost Walkers. I never did read her Dark Series. I saw Cinder, I think I have to have that!! I entered a giveaway, maybe I will win it. :)
Oh, I am never going to get to the end of my TBR list.. I just added those authors… I think I can go from the west coast to the east coast and line my books up… :)
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
elizabeth @ bookattict . com

Well, I do love Roxanne Henke's work, but I don't think it would appeal to men, so I only make the recommendation for women.

J.R. Ward
