    Some of my faves include:

    Harlan Coben - murder mystery
    Michael Connelly - murder mystery
    Jean P Sasoon - true stories about living in Arabia (very moving to read)
    John Grisham - Mostly involves lawyers and trials
    Stephanie Meyer - The Twilight Saga (very easy to get caught up in!)

    I enjoy James Patterson. Great with kids as the chapters are short. I also enjoy Sydney Bauer too.

    Kerry Greenwood. Love her Corinna Chapman series and Phryne Fisher series. They are crime-solving mysteries. Corinna is set in modern era in Melbourne whiel Phryne Fisher is set in the 1920s/1930s.

    David Eddings for fantasy.

    Janet Evanovitch if I want to wet myself laughing. She is sooooo funny. The number series (i.e. one for the money etc) is about a really bad/useless female bounty hunter in the US.
