Favorite books / authors?

[KittyGram]

I'm still branching out from my usual horror (Stephen King, Dean Koontz) and forensic (Patricia Cornwell) usual types of books, and I'm always looking for new authors to read.  I've discovered Janet Evanovich (LOVE Stephanie Plum!), and I've enjoyed a couple of Dennis Lehane's books (Mystic River, Shutter Island), as well as a few others.  Currently reading The Hunger Games' second book, Chasing Fire.

Any suggestions?

James Patterson writes some really good books.  I love the Amelia Peabody mysteries written by Elizabeth Peters.  If you like Stephanie Plum you would probably also like Kinsey Milhone mysteries by Sue Grafton.  If you like books that come with recipies, try Laura Childs or Joanne Fluke.

The bird series by Donna Andrews is good (Murder with Peacocks, etc)

I also like the series by Maddie Hunter (G'Day to Die)

and the assassin series by Leslie Langry ('Scuse me while I kill this guy)

I want to get The Hunger Games myself, that will be the first one I read after I get new glasses.  I prefer Science Fiction/Fantasy as well as Philsophical books along with a sprinkling of non-ficiton depending on the subject as well.  I love the books by the Dalai Lama especially.

Danielle Steele, Lyveryl Spencer, Nicholas Sparks, Mary Higgens Clark are some I can think of.
