Bertrice Small! Granted, her books tend to have a similar plot but the history around it all is great. Hannah Howell and Lyndsay Sands are awesome too. :)

Sara Shepard. She writes the Pretty Little Liars series. They're full of rumors and lies and pretty people. The plots are all twisty and I can't...put...them...down!

I'd say Christine Warren. Her books are full of plot holes and bad editing and frustrating vagueness of important details...but I just love them and can't stop buying them.

The No 1 ladies Detective Agency series, by Aldexander McCall Smith......a fun romp thru Africa w/a most engaging Madame Ramotswe, the first female P.I. in Botswana....

Very well done!, but let's face it, it'll never make my " top 10 " list of anything ..........

Oy Vey! Dios Mio!...i guess it's true...I am a " book snob " :roll: :oops:

I think Guilty Pleasure is a hard word to define because I don't generally feel guilty about reading any of the authors that I do, but I guess I would say Lora Leigh. She writes some pretty intense erotica novels, and I love them. The Breed series, anyone? It's a little crazy sometimes, and I think they're a lot of fun.

Probably Chelsea Handler and E.L. James. Did I really just say that last one?

Latest Review: "A Vision of Angels" by Timothy Jay Smith

Clive Cussler. His plots are improbable, the story lines improbable, to the point that I'm surprised that only one of them has been used by Hollywood. They're the literary equivalent of popcorn - and I'm waiting for the next one to come available at the library for me ;)

I love reading well written mystery books especially ones which keep waiting right until the end, so t has to be Agatha Christie, my just pure bliss no guilt at all.

Stephen King and Dean Koontz. My mum used to always frown on me reading "horror" but I still love them. :twisted:

I just really want them to be better than they are. I love the subplot, which is a weird thing to read a series for, but I keep wanting more of it.

sophie kinsella... i do believe all books are meant to be read but i cringe slightly every time i pick one of these up. i love them so much and they take no thought or effort to read but are entertaining nonetheless. sometimes it's good to read something you can just lose yourself in and be ridiculous about.
