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.
My favourite book is The Time Traveler's Wife written by Audrey Niffeneger.
it is the most compelling, inspiring, hearfelt and beautiful books ever!!!
the movies even coming out at the end of the year for it!! i could go on and on about it!
I love reading too but tend to go for more 'chick lit' types of books that I can read and get lost in but don't tax my tired mummy brain . So if you are interested in those types - I love Marian Keyes, Monica McInerney, Cathy Kelly, Maggie Alderson. I have really loved all their stuff. It's not too light in a fluffy romance novel type of way though!
My absolute fav book is called Three Wishes by a author called Liane Moriarty. I absolutely loved it - laughed,cried, the lot. It's about 3 sisters and dealing with family life - kids, relationships, their relationships with each other etc. I recently re-read it and relate to alot of stuff in it now I'm a mum.
Or how about Jodi Picoult? She is the author of My Sisters Keeper - which is out at the movies now. Apparently the movie is a lot different to the book. The book is brilliant and very thought provoking in a 'what would I do in that situation' way. I've read alot of her stuff and loved it - I really loved Salem Falls which about a Amish family. Very interesting. Most of her stuff revolves around an event and then a court case, and I find her stuff very hard to put down.
