My name is NA and I am addicted.....to books!!!

Am so glad to have found this forum! Bibliophiles unite!! In any event, thought I would share with you some of the authors I have come to love. The list is extensive, so I will try to only name those that haven't been recently listed: Gerritsen, Tess - fave book of hers the Sinner Kay Hooper - Thief series (Once a, Always a...) are good reads. Linda Fairstein - fave book is The Bone Vault Coben, Harlan - just finished Tell No One, again Deaver, Jeffrey - anything he writes I have liked Just ordered Therapy by Jonathan Kellerman, Ties that Bind by Philip Margolin, Sleep Tight by Anne Frasier, 3rd Degree by James Patterson, Firestorm by Iris Johansen, No Second Change by Harlan Coben. If anyone is interested in my review of them, let me know. I will be reading furiously, while camping, LOL. Again, thanks for being here and I am looking forward to hearing other reviews.

Hello NA!!!! I'm partial to historical novels, generally by Rutherford and Dunnett. I particularly like Rutherford. I've read SARUM and LONDON and THE FOREST. I like stories about kings and queens and knights. I guess every little girl's dream, to live in King Arthur's court and wear the beautiful gowns. My husband says if I had lived back then I would probably be a serf and not aristocracy, hahahhahahahha. He's probably right. Andrea

Hi NA. I love all the same authors as you. Here are some more you might enjoy: Dennis LeHane (wrote Mystic River; everything he's written I've loved) Lawrence Block Sharyn McCrumb (fave book is She Walks These Hills) I've loved to read ever since I learned how. My mother told me that one year for my birthday (around 8 or 9) I told her I wanted Braille lessons for a present because that way if I ever went blind I would still know how to read. Weird little kid.

King Arthur's count has such a wonderful imagery with it! Did you ever rread the Mists of Avalon, about the women at that time and their doings? I personally liked it very much. In addition, Stephen King wrote a book for his daughter about knights and princesses and such, and it caused me to write him about how much I enjoyed his departure from his norm. Lawrence Block...what can I say, have been reading him for a long time. Haven't read anything of his lately, but some of my first books were Mr. Blocks. And their is nothing wrong with wanting to read no matter what! I used to get in trouble because I would go to bed, then get a flashlight and go "undercover" and read til morning. Reading still does not put me to sleep, instead if there is a decent story there, I will read til it is time to get ready for work. I read in the grocery store line, at the bank, in traffic jams, so no I do not for one moment think you were or are weird!

NA, My name is Janie...and I am addicted to books, also (is this Books-Addiction Anonymous? BAA!) I'm an avid mystery reader. I'm very fortunate that I work in the local library on the weekends. I've been reading since age 3, and haven't found too many I didn't like. I've been outside the mystery realm just a big and read "PS, I Love You" by Cynthia Ahearn and "Good Grief" by Holly Winston...both about losing a loved one and coping...and extremely funny as well. Other favorite authors I have discovered are Jonathan Nasaw, Charlaine Harris, Edna Buchanan, Marcia Muller, Carl Haaisen (so funny), and I love Catherine Coulter (FBI series-The Edge, The Cove, Blowout, etc.), who can resist Janet Evanovich, Alex Kava is EXCELLENT--don't miss her books! Ridley Pearson, Susan Wittig Albert, (can't think of her first name...Lanier--she wrote the "Bloodhound" series--all good. She's in bad health, so I don't know if she has written anything in the past few months, Alafair Burke, James Lee Burke (her father), Perri O'Shaunessy (sp), Lisa Scottolini, Diane Mott Davidson, CJ Box, John Sandford, Kathy Reichs, Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston (co-authors, and Lincoln Child as a single writer); Robert Tanenbaum, JA Jance, have you tried PJ Tracy, or Karin Slaughter...both great authors and fairly new. I'm reading Bonnie Hill's "Killer Body", now...she also wrote "Intern" which was really good. Hope I've given you some good ideas...Happy Reading. Let me know if you like any of them... email me at home if you want [email protected] Have fun!!! It's always nice to run into another fellow mystery reader.. Janie Mathis

My name is Julie and I'm also a Book Addict. I am an adult literacy tutor and it's sooo sad to me when adults who can read choose not to. I like James Patterson's "Alex Cross" series. I've read "To Kill A Mockingbird" three times! There are too many to mention. But I think "Mockingbird" is a MUST. Love, Julie
