Yes.
Catherine Cookson ..years since I have read any of her stuff but read all of it at least once, bad memory comes in handy. James Herriot..a hero of mine, again, read all his stuff at least once or twice. |

..yeah, I loved James Herriot...Catherine Cookson was ok but it was all so tragic and there was never a happy ending......well, there sort of was but never the one you expected...

I've got quite a few and I've read all they've written much, I'm a readoholic.
Sophie Hannah writes belting thrillers, very dark and tense. Dorothy Koomson is excellent, she wrote the Ice Cream Girls, recently adapted for tv. Louise Bagshawe is another author I'd recommend. For a light hearted read Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews do great romantic comedies As a kid I loved Enid Blyton and E Nesbitt.

I love reading horrors and crime/thriller so obviously Stephen King then Ian Rankin, Paul Finch (no not the guy from American Pie) Kathy Reichs basically any crime/thriller authors so I wont list them all.
Also love Martina Cole and have all her books but think she's become really repetitive and samey the past few years. And of course G.R.R.M for the A Song of Ice and Fire series. |

nope

Jacqueline Wilson when I was a child
Probably Sophie Kinsella at the moment. I have a feeling I'll be saying G.R.R.M too when I have finished the books.. |

I would actually read anything, if there's a book I will read it no matter what it's about.

My fave is P. C. Hodgell, I picked up this battered copy of her first book in a secondhand store
after a few pages I fell head over heels in love with her imagination. I've read all her books apart from one, she has a new one on the way, it's been sent to her publishers and will be out in June. So when that one comes out, I'll start the one I've been saving. |

Kafka, Wilde or Fitzgerald... need to read this Vonnegut collection I have too, and I'm sure there're plenty of others I'd like once I get past the "I've only read one of their novels" stage.

Actually hated when they made Sweet Valley High into a tv show because I had my own image of how I thought everyone looked etc and that show completely ruined it |

Shaun hutson is my favourite,
First book from him was Lucy's Child (Before this book, I never used to read) This book made me love reading. This book was creepy, tense and was real page turner Now I have got almost all of his books in my collections I met him once in Book meeting, funny guy! Also liked Spawn, Heathen, Assassin, Victims,Death Day,Nemesis,Purity,Necessary Evil,Last Rites Right now I am reading Deadhead by Shaun hutston , for the second time, I enjoyed some James Herbert books, (I still can't believe he passed away last year) |
