ReplyDeleteA few of my favourite authors are Deanna Raybourn who writes historical murder mysteries, Trudi Canavan who writes fantasy and M.L.N. Hanover who has an urban fantasy series. All very different but all very good!
ReplyDeleteGrats on reaching the big 100 followers! :)

ReplyDeleteI like Jane Austen, Sebastian Faulks, JK Rowling, Joanne Harris, Jodie Picoult, Kate Morton and many more

ReplyDelete@Sheri
ReplyDeleteI have some older Steve King novels, he scared the heck out of me when I was growing up. :)
@Reading
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Nat. I think I got my inspiration from your wonderful blog. Thanks. :)
@Katie
ReplyDeleteI 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.
@Jessica ( frellathon )
ReplyDeleteWhat type of books does he write?
@Rea
ReplyDeleteOohh, I love historical and mystery, another name added to my list.
@kerry
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry, thanks for stopping by!!
I have Lara's books, haven't gotten to them yet.
@Jane Hanbury
ReplyDeleteSome new names to add. I have Jodie's books, I am ashamed to say they have been in my pile for 4 years now. :(
@Mirjam
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
@June M.
ReplyDeleteAnother Lynsay fan, YEAH!!
I have read some of Eve's books ~ racy and hot!!
@Veronika
ReplyDeleteI take a peek at E L James's books. Is there one in particular that stands out as your favorite?
My favorite book is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I like the classics, but I am also a big fan of a good paranormal romance, fiction books etc... Big fan of Cassandra Clare, Karen Marie Moning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway :)
Best regards, Diana
@Diana_Dimovska
ReplyDeleteI 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
I think that Deborah Harkness's book A discovery of Witches is/was amazing! Also, Kristin Hannah is a great author as well
ReplyDelete@Melissa
ReplyDeleteKristin 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!!
Wow, is it just me, or was that fast?
ReplyDeleteI'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!
@Amy Denim
ReplyDeleteI 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?
There's quite a few Authors that I adore and highly recommend. In no particular order, Anna Campbell, Shana Galen, Lisa Kleypas, Stephanie Laurens, Kate Pearce, Miranda Neville and Beverley Kendall. As you can probably tell, I love Historical Romance.
ReplyDelete@Diane D - Florida
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
I love the seven realms series by Cinda Williams Chima. I'm also a big fan of Christopher Paolini, Kendare Blake, Veronica Roth, and Melina Marchetta.
ReplyDelete@elin
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
JK Rowling, Guy Gavriel Kay, Terry Pratchett, Scott Westerfeld, Alexander McCall Smith just to name a few
ReplyDeleteAuthorus I love: Cassandra Calre, sarah rees brennan, libba bray.
ReplyDelete@Dovile
ReplyDeleteOne 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.
@Reading mind
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
I think Harry Potter should be read by everyone
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are Melanie Rawn--Dragon Prince series was amazing...her Golden Key (with Kate Elliot and Jennifer Roberson) is my all-time favorite fantasy.
ReplyDeleteAlso 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!
I'm sure everyone has read it but I think Twilight is still on the top of my must-read list. It's classic!
ReplyDelete@aparajita
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. There is something about the written word.. :)
@Ash Krafton | @ashkrafton
ReplyDeleteThanks 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@BookBug
ReplyDeleteLexie, again, there's something about the written word, there are some differences between what we read and what was in the motion picture.
I have a list a mile long, but here are some authors and books that I love:
ReplyDeleteChristine 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
@Katie

Jeaniene Frost, Kim Harrison, Rachel Caine, Rachel Vincent. The list could go on and on!
ReplyDelete@Kt Clapsadl

ReplyDeleteMain Stream - J.R. Ward, Laurell K. Hamilton, Kerrelyn Sparks
I could go on and on, but these are some of my favorites
I think writers should read Die for Me by Amy Plum. I think this book is a new breath of paranormal. The book was a big hit for me just for the fact that the author created her own story, her new monster that I didn't expect loving at all. Plus did I say that this book is based on Paris? and to be honest Paris is just a heaven for me... I don't know, I think I have something with the place... maybe the Eiffel tower, maybe because it's called City of Love. the book is just an awesome read... I think french people are naturally good natured and the accent... can I ask more? :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome chance! Congrats on the 100 followers! more to come! :D

Robb/Nora Roberts,....well, the list could go on and on depending on what genre we're talking about (-:
