Favorite Authors?!

I could talk on this topic forever....

John Grisham was the first author I got addicted to. I read all of his books. I've always been interested in law/crime so his books are right up my alley.

Patricia Cornwell - don't remember how I got started on her, but I've read them all. I particularly like the Scarpetta Series. Again - crime type books

James Patterson - he is a very diverse author. My favorite of his are the crime novels, particular the Alex Cross series and the Women's Murder Club. But I read almost anything he writes.

Nicholas Sparks - Oh my gosh, this guy can write some tear jerkers. LOVE THEM

Emily Griffith - this is a new author who only has 4 books so far, I think (maybe 5 at the most). The first one I read was one of those that I literally could NOT put down. I had to finish it. I think I read it in two days and stayed up WAY too late finishing it.

Dorothea Benton Frank - She's a local author that writes stories based on the coast of South Carolina. But anyone would enjoy them, not just SC natives.

Though I could go on, that's good for now.

OKay, Hol...
have you read any Jodi Picoult yet?
What do you think if you have???
I LOVE her... love her books... so I'm especially interested in your opinion! LOL!

I also love John Grisham, Nicholas Sparks, Emily Griffin (just got the new book in the mail yesterday...for the trip) ---- is this who you meant or is Emily Griffith someone entirely dif? LOL...

I need to look into the others!

It's probably Griffin - I was going off memory. She's the one the wrote Something Borrowed, Something Blue & Baby Proof??? Those are the three I have read so far.

I have not read any Jodi Picoult - might need to try it though.

Well, if our other likes are any indication, you should totally read Jodi's books (yup we are on a first name basis! ROFL!!!)...
I'd start with maybe My Sisters Keeper or The Pact... those were 2 of my faves...but really I've loved all of them. They are all a little different, but her writing is awesome!!!!!

Yes, loved the Emily Griffin books... Something Borrowed and Something Blue were fab. Read them SOOOOOO fast.

Do you also like Sophie Kinsella? I like her too... quick and easy... totally loved her recent book Remember Me. Great!!! And quick reading agian!

YES, I love Sophie too! Forgot to mention her. I'm actually reading Shopaholic Ties the Knot right now. The Shopaholic books kind of get on my nerves, but I kind of want to read them all since I've already read the first two (weird, i know). But I have REALLY loved all of her non-shopaholic books. I read Remember Me not too long ago too :-)

Yeah, the others are better... totally agree...
I liked... Undomestic Goddess... and LOVED Can you Keep a Secret.

Just read a couple of her "Madeleine Wickham" books... and not as thrilled...
Cocktails for three was just okay...
and Gate Crasher was alright.
I'm sure I'll read Sleeping Arrangements... but... hmm...

I like those two as well - but have never read her books under the other name.
