Just so I don't repeat myself with the same authors, I'll recommend a new one! Natasha Blackthorne writes beautiful hostorical erotic romances, you should give it a try, she's amazing!
Congrats on reaching 100 followers! =D
My favorite authors are Lynsay Sands, Christine Feehan (two authors who write some awesome vampire novels), Colleen Houck, Marissa Meyer (New YA Authors), and Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz ( she writes great contemporary and science fiction romance, I love her Harmony series)
Congrats on reaching 100 followers! (:
I have many authors I love I'd say Paul Cleave who is a New Zealand author is really quite awesome and a great guy.
A few of my favourite authors are Deanna Raybourn who writes historical murder mysteries, Trudi Canavan who writes fantasy and M.L.N. Hanover who has an urban fantasy series. All very different but all very good!
Grats on reaching the big 100 followers! :)
One of my favourite authors is Lara Adrian. I am also a huge fan Lynn Hagen and Stormy Glen both of them write shifter M/M romance.
I like Jane Austen, Sebastian Faulks, JK Rowling, Joanne Harris, Jodie Picoult, Kate Morton and many more
A few of my favourites romance authors are Nora Roberts, Julia Quinn, Christine Feehan, Deborah Cooke, Christine Warren and Jennifer Lyon. A new author I discovered and loved is Sara Humphreys!
I really love paranormals so I would recommend the following authors: Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks, Larissa Ione, Katie MacAlister.
More hot recommendations would include: Cherise Sinclair, Kallypso Masters, Eden Bradley, Eve Langlais.
I could go on and on, lol.
I mostly read fiction, romantic books. I really like the old classics as well as some "new" writers as well. So I'll say a new author, E L James..I really liked her books I've read recently! I can recommend it to everyone who loves a good romantic story :)
@Sheri
I have some older Steve King novels, he scared the heck out of me when I was growing up. :)
@Reading
Awww, thanks Nat. I think I got my inspiration from your wonderful blog. Thanks. :)
@Katie
I am a great fan of the Lynsay Sands, Argeneau vampire series. I haven't read any of her Regency series tho'. I have written down the other names. Thanks.
@Jessica ( frellathon )
What type of books does he write?
@Rea
Oohh, I love historical and mystery, another name added to my list.
@kerry
Hi Kerry, thanks for stopping by!!
I have Lara's books, haven't gotten to them yet.
@Jane Hanbury
Some new names to add. I have Jodie's books, I am ashamed to say they have been in my pile for 4 years now. :(
@Mirjam
You have listed many I love, I am not familiar with Deborah Cooke's work though. We must start a reading club and compare our thoughts.
@June M.
Another Lynsay fan, YEAH!!
I have read some of Eve's books ~ racy and hot!!
@Veronika
I take a peek at E L James's books. Is there one in particular that stands out as your favorite?
My favorite book is David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I like the classics, but I am also a big fan of a good paranormal romance, fiction books etc... Big fan of Cassandra Clare, Karen Marie Moning :)
Thank you for the giveaway :)
Best regards, Diana
@Diana_Dimovska
I still love to curl up with the classics! I have hard of Karen Maire Moning, I believe she has written about my beloved Highlanders!!
You are welcome, but I have to thank each of you for making this possible and for being a followers.. B
I think that Deborah Harkness's book A discovery of Witches is/was amazing! Also, Kristin Hannah is a great author as well
@Melissa
Kristin Hannah's has some beautiful book art. And I just take a glance at Deborah's book and I NEED TO READ THAT, NOW!!
thanks!!
Wow, is it just me, or was that fast?
I'm a big fan of Suz Brockmann (who has a new book coming out soon) and Katie Macalister. (I'm in the middle of reading her new contemp)
Congrats on the followers!
@Amy Denim
I agree it did go by quickly.. :)
Suz writes some military suspense with some super sexy heroes. And as far as Katie, it looks like she has a super vampire series, the Dark Ones. Those look great. Are they stand alone books are do you need to read them in order?
There's quite a few Authors that I adore and highly recommend. In no particular order, Anna Campbell, Shana Galen, Lisa Kleypas, Stephanie Laurens, Kate Pearce, Miranda Neville and Beverley Kendall. As you can probably tell, I love Historical Romance.
@Diane D - Florida
I love Historical Romance, too. I am actually reading Shana Galen 'Rogue Pirate Bride' at the moment. Two friends at goodreads recommended Lisa Kleypas and Stephanie Laurens. I may have to quit my day job just to catch up on my reading :)
I love the seven realms series by Cinda Williams Chima. I'm also a big fan of Christopher Paolini, Kendare Blake, Veronica Roth, and Melina Marchetta.
@elin
Thanks for stopping by. Now those are authors I haven't heard. Christopher Paolini's Inheritance series looks like it may be about dragons, I love dragons.
JK Rowling, Guy Gavriel Kay, Terry Pratchett, Scott Westerfeld, Alexander McCall Smith just to name a few
Authorus I love: Cassandra Calre, sarah rees brennan, libba bray.
@Dovile
One of my New Years Resolution for 2012 is to read YA. The authors you like look a few I can read. I love fantasy, mystical movies, I just never read them in print. Well that will change. Thanks for sharing your favs.
@Reading mind
Hi there!! Thanks for joining in on the giveaway.
The cover art for City of Lost Souls is gorgeous! I think I would enjoy The Mortal Instruments’s ~ looks like another great fantasy book with maybe possibly my favorite ~ shape shifters, Thanks.
I think Harry Potter should be read by everyone
My favorites are Melanie Rawn--Dragon Prince series was amazing...her Golden Key (with Kate Elliot and Jennifer Roberson) is my all-time favorite fantasy.
Also love Mercedes Lackey and her novels of Valdemar. I have shed more tears in her pages than anywhere else. Steel Magnolias doesn't come close! I love her world-building and her magic...I haven't the words for how wonderful those books are. More than one I wished I was one of her Heralds... :)
I'm kinda sweet on my own book, too, but since it's not out for six weeks yet, I'll have to be satisfied picking up a tattered paperback by Melanie or Mercedes and curl up with a cup of Darjeeling.
Cheers!
I'm sure everyone has read it but I think Twilight is still on the top of my must-read list. It's classic!
@aparajita
Yes, I agree. There is something about the written word.. :)
@Ash Krafton | @ashkrafton
Thanks for stopping by. I will take a look at Melanie and Mercedes work. I am not familiar with them.
Nothing wrong with plugging your book. Good luck!
@Lexie@BookBug
Lexie, again, there's something about the written word, there are some differences between what we read and what was in the motion picture.
I have a list a mile long, but here are some authors and books that I love:
Christine Feehan (Great vampire and leapord shifter books)Ex. Dark Gold, Wild Rain
Lynsay Sands (great vampire books)
Ex. Hungry For You, Tall Dark and Hungry
YA
Colleen Houck (Tiger's Curse series My fav books of all time)
Marissa Meyer (Cinder was awesome!)
Katie
@Katie
I also have some Christine Feehan- I loved the Drake sisters, Leopard Series, and Ghost Walkers. I never did read her Dark Series. I saw Cinder, I think I have to have that!! I entered a giveaway, maybe I will win it. :)
Jeaniene Frost, Kim Harrison, Rachel Caine, Rachel Vincent. The list could go on and on!
@Kt Clapsadl
Oh, I am never going to get to the end of my TBR list.. I just added those authors… I think I can go from the west coast to the east coast and line my books up… :)
Read Kristen Cashore! She is an amazing author! "Graceling" and "Fire" are already out and "Bitterblue" is due out soon! All companion novels.
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
Too many to list! Michelle Sagara, Kevin Hearne, Linda Robertson, Mark Del Franco, Anne Bishop...and that's just from this week's TBR pile!
elizabeth @ bookattict . com
@Veronica W. Now that looks like an author that I would enjoy reading. Bitterblue comes out in May.
Great cover art on her books, too.
@BookAttict
It seems that your pile may beat my pile hands down. :) Happy Reading and thanks for stopping by.
Everyone should read Kelley Armstrong's YA series and her Otherworld series. People should also read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson Series, Incarnate by Jodi Meadows, Everneath by Brodi Ashton, Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier, Hourglass by Myra McEntire, Shifting by Bethany Wiggins, Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey, anything by Chloe Neill, and Angelfire and Wings of the Wicked by Courtney Allison Moulton.

Thanks for the giveaway :)
Everyone should definitely read everything that's written by JK Rowling, Suzanne Collins, and Cassandra Clare.

I think everyone should read John Green's book.
Jeaniene Frost!!!
Some of my favourites are Neil Gaiman, JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett... I also think that John Green is an amazing contemporary author.
Charles Dickens and Margaret Attwood :)
Well, I used to read everyting Anne Rice and now I'm in love with her Angel cronicles. I've read both so far and they are fascinating. But I'm also keen on writers who are new to me like Michael J. Sullivan and his books The Riyria Revelations. I highly recommend them :o).
If urban fantasy is new to the person, I would suggest the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Kristin Hannah writes wonderful women's fiction and Kristan Higgins for contemporary romances on the fun side.
@Fall Into Books thanks for stopping by. I must read a YA series, now that I look at the summaries I wonder what I don't...
@Hilda
My friend at work told me about Hunger Games, when I went to book store to look for them, they said there was a waiting list. Wow, that good.

Main Stream - J.R. Ward, Laurell K. Hamilton, Kerrelyn Sparks
I could go on and on, but these are some of my favorites
I think writers should read Die for Me by Amy Plum. I think this book is a new breath of paranormal. The book was a big hit for me just for the fact that the author created her own story, her new monster that I didn't expect loving at all. Plus did I say that this book is based on Paris? and to be honest Paris is just a heaven for me... I don't know, I think I have something with the place... maybe the Eiffel tower, maybe because it's called City of Love. the book is just an awesome read... I think french people are naturally good natured and the accent... can I ask more? :D
Thanks for the awesome chance! Congrats on the 100 followers! more to come! :D

Congratulations on 100+ followers!
Well, I do love Roxanne Henke's work, but I don't think it would appeal to men, so I only make the recommendation for women.
I agree with everybody and J.K.Rowling is my top choice, but I would like to mention Taylor Laini (Daughter of Smoke and Bone) and John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) as well. I would read anything from them (their shopping lists included)

I want to thanks each and every one of you for adding to my TBR pile. You all have given me some great suggestions. I would love to try to compile a spreadsheet and see how many of you suggested the same authors, almost rank them… again, another project that I will need time to do.!!!
I didn't get through all of the author suggestions, but I discovered some new ones that I will be checking out. Some of my favorite authors are: Lorelei James with the Rough Riders Series, Autum Dawn with the Dark Land Series, Marsha Canham. They are all romances, but different types. I have read all of the books in their series. and I love them all.
