Favorite Authors or Genres?

[Josiegirl]

My favorite is Jodi Picoult, she writes such controversial and thought-provoking books. But I'm becoming a huge Elizabeth Berg fan, easy reads and I don't have to overthink.

I'm also trying to add to my collection of New England, specifically Vermont books. I love New England! So if you have suggestions in that respect, I'd love to hear them.

Chris Bohjalian writes about Vermont, with a lot of thought-provoking issues like Jodi Picoult.

Psychological Thrillers, Mysteries, Horror, and some Comedy (depends on the author. Stephen King, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Lee Child (no relation), Catherine Coulter, Joe Hill, James Patterson, Dennis LeHane, and Carolyn Haines just to name a few.

I like stories that are true to life. They really happened. I have a hard time relating to pretend, fantasy, fiction other then an express of art form or kids using imagination. I lose interest because my thoughts are based real. I will think to myself that could never happen so I will have no interest in finishing the book. I am probably like this because I have a vivid imagination. I can go off in thought and be in another world all by myself easily.

I often have a hard time to finish a book.

I will sound like a giant nerd if I answer this question.

I was thinking the same thing as Josiegirl...

I was also thinking "I bet I've read most of whatever you (Meyou) is going to post..."

My favorite genres bounce around quite a bit. Right now I'm reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King (I'm bound and determined to finish it.. I really like it, but it's kinda starting to drag on), Ruby by V.C. Andrews (for the umpteenth time), and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (for the 2nd time). I love the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day

I'm trying to find a really good post-apocalyptic book that doesn't necessarily have to do with zombies or machines taking over.

There's nothing I won't read but historical biographies are my choice. I love southern gothic, really anything about the South, and horror. I like Terry Pratchett, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker and of course...

Game of Thrones. lovethislovethislovethis

Try The Passage and The Twelve by Justin Cronin. It's a very interesting take on the Vampire Apocolypse. The third book, City of Mirrors, comes out later this year. If you read e-books, try Bookbub. They have thousands of books for free or cheap. Usually 99 cents to 2.99.

I just got caught up on the post about "someone I don't know living in my home" and it reminded me of the 44 series by jools Sinclair. I loved these books! There's 9 of them so far, from what I have read on her blog she's writing more. But they're fantastic. It's about a girl that dies and comes back to life after 44 minutes and can now see ghosts.
